When Varic tells the tale the first time, when Mage Hawke kills the Ogre -- "the blue force" is used to tear the Ogre apart from the inside out.
Is there a spell in the actual game that does this or something similar, or is this only part of Varric's fanciful tale ...

IIRC, that is the cinematic killing blow for Crushing Prison.

Which reminds me... they said the deathblows(for both warriors and mages) were still in. They lied.

I have yet to see one, but something tells me it's.... just those explosions.

IIRC ??, huh?
Anyway thanks, I have only tried the base level crushing prison and haven't seen that yet, but then the target wasn't close to death either.

I think what he/she meant is that it's just a cinematic move not usable outside the.. well.. cinematics.

I've seen this move in-game!

It happened when I used Crushing Prison on an Orge in the Deep Roads. The hands weren't blue though, they were white. It looked awesome, none-the-less.

I think you need a 'perfect' set up for it (staggered target, CP upgrade, enemy near death). Otherwise, I'm going to assume there's a low chance of it happening against any enemy, as long as CP is the killing blow.

Wat.

Tell me more. Do you have a screen perhaps?
If so then my hopes for mage deathblows weren't really shattered..

I assume there wasn't a cutscene but just in game visuals?

I don't have a screenshot unfortunately (I'm playing on console) and I wasn't drunk -- hopefully not crazy either.

But yeah, I just used an upgraded Crushing Prison on the ogre when Aveline staggered him with Pommel Strike. He was at about 1/3 to 1/4 health, I think.

If I recall correctly, the spell lifted him, like he was a normal enemy and did the regular damage anim against him (holding him in place). Then, all of a sudden, small grayish portals opened on the left and right sides of him, white hands clutched and then crushed him. My jaw dropped.

And yes, this was all in-game -- no cinematic or anything.

Going to test this with my mage to see.

Maybe a cross-class combo thing only.

Your post makes me think a lot of people angry at the "tactics being bad" have not experimented with a lot of potential combos.

I being one of them (I'm not angry at the game though).

Thanks for that info, will definately test it out
