This description sure sounds like it, "The Reaver tears into an enemy, consuming its life force to heal the Reaver.'

And the Force Mage spec makes the mage a Jedi.

It's convenient that there is a hair selection that looks a lot like Anakin and Obi-wan's.

I always thought it was a little dark lol. Surely you cannot be making friends when they see you covered in blood, consuming someone soul.

[atheelogos]

Well technically speaking.... yes lol

[DA Trap Star]

yes, a reaver is basically a warrior possessed with a Demonic Spirit.

Nope. They drink dragon blood.

Yeah its kinda blood magic. You can be a blood mage without having a demonic spirit in you.

The funny thing about Blood magic is: It's frowned upon because you "make a deal with a demon to learn it." Well, sure, maybe alot of circle magi or hicks learn it like that. But I'd wager alot of Tevinter Magisters just learn it from their master, so is it really all that bad, if you learn it from a human? Sure they still steal life to power some spells, but most if not all spells are self powering.

Spirit Healers, universally, MUST make a pact with a fade spirit to power their spells, however. From the Elven point of view, one fade spirit is as good or bad as another, demons and spirits are one in the same, more reasons why Merrill sees no distinction, good or bad, between herself and Anders' pacts.

Interesting note, Merrill's particular brand of blood magic has no function to harm allies, unlike the PC version, and using that spell is a choice.

Reaver is similar. Becoming a Reaver is similar to becoming a Warden, honestly. There is a ritual, aided with either lyrium or blood magic, to empower it, where you take in the blood of a powerful entity, either the Darkspawn, or a Dragon. The powers granted can be used for good or evil. So can getting really angry and running a sword through someone, or the abuse of lyrium dust to gain the power to blow up someone who has a connection to the fade.

In DA 1 Reaver was only frowned upon because the only way you could get it was by committing an atrocity, but that was a task given to you by a madman, not a demon, in order to teach you the skills.

I was surprised, the description makes it sound like the Reaver goes all Hannibal Lecter on the enemy, but he actually just touches them with his hand.

Does Devour have a Sauce Bearnaise upgrade?.

Made me LOL xD

Reaver isn't a vampire, or Dragon Age would also be Night Age for the reaver

[aArendsvark]

It wouldn't make the Reaver a vampire unless devour turned it's victim into a reaver. I think cannibal might be a possible interpretation. I prefer to think of it as a Mike Tyson ability, where you nourish yourself on your foes delicious blood, and stagger them as they realize someone just ate them.

Vampiric, not vampire.

Much more accurate good post man

[Terminatort800]

Well...yeah... Devour works like vampiric power.

It's similar to Grave Robber...that's also vampiric power.

Rumor has it that Reavers Sparkle a little when they use Devour.

OMG, I caught Twilight for the first time this week, and couldn't believe THAT was the big, stupid deal with the vampires. Oh noes, they sparkle. I also can't believe I sat there through that piece of crap.

I DON'T SPARKLE, I GLOW! 

Besides, how can you tell if a reaver is sparkling if he's covered in 15 gallons of the enemies' blood?

[Greta13]

Hm, I've never noticed my reaver Hawke sparkle.

Excellent post! What a dichotomy huh? *Laughs* It is the hubris of man that makes something evil or not. Consider the fact that Anders took in Justice and gave back Vengeance.

I know how you feel... 

[Killjoy Cutter]

The idea that blood magic can only be learned from a demon really comes from DA2. In DA:O, Jowan is a blood mage who clearly wants nothing to do with making deals with demons.
