I was thinking about this. Since Templars use magical talents and they are given doses of lyrium to stay loyal, anybody think that could actually increase the chances of that Templar's children being mages?
Cigarettes, alcohol, and drugs have an impact on offspring in the real world. And lyrium is a drug and the raw essence of magic/mana.
Potential side effects to giving Lyrium to templars.

So far, the most common side effects of Lyrium exposure in mages appears to be addiction, shakes, and going cuckoo pants paranoid crazy, seizing illegal control of a city and trying to slaughter all mages.

I doubt the lyrium was at fault for the last one.... oh wait. xD
Well it seems likely though. Drugs can cause things in people's children. And thats what lyrium is pretty much, a drug. Except you don't get high which is a ripoff. xD jk jk

Yeah Lyrium basically drives people insane so i imagine its not good for the fetus but i doubt it makes them magical, Dwarves are surrounded by lyrium but they're not magical at all.

True, Dwarves have supposedly been exposed to it for so long that they built up an immunity for it. But if that were the case what is the surface dwarves excuse? Less exposure to lyrium over generations should make them have magic again by that logic.
And prolonged exposure to large amounts of lyrium can also have mutagenic effects on things and people. Oghren pointed that out if you brought him with you to the Gauntlet. he said there's a very large amount of lyrium in that place and accredited it to the Guardian's immortality and the healing power of the ashes.

Lyrium makes people crazy. I hope the templars swear vows of chastity, it'd be sort of hard for them to raise children.
As for surface dwarves growing gradually less immune(Lamarckian idea nonwithstanding). Have you ever heard of a third generation surface dwarf? Look how many surface dwarves we see die in DA2 in the Carta. Most surface dwarves are probably 1st or 2nd generation.

Thrask's daughter was an Apostate that he hid.
And Aveline's husband Wesley was a Templar.
Also Dwarves have probably been immigrating to the surface ever since the First Blight. Since the Dwarven Thaigs were the first to fall.

Varric has no innate magic resistance on his stat page i don't know if this is due to a bug.
