In the Mage origin story, there's an empty bookcase in the Tower that's clickable, but only tells you the books have been removed.  Is there something else to that, or just an odd thing?

i always wonder about that book case actually...but i think it is the Blood Magic book that Irving remove it into his room, on his desk.

I'm pretty sure that the blood mage books that were sitting by Irving came from that book shelf. You can ask Irving about the books during the origin.

Too bad someone didn't remove those books sooner, so the circle wouldn't have been overrun by blood mages during Broken Circle.

Didn't you notice Irving's Diary during  Broken cIrcle? They had those books there on purpose. So the apprentices could find then and turn into Blood Magues when they were still young and unexpericenced, and thus easier to capture and destroy if they fell for the temptation. The bastard.

As soon as I noticed than codex entry, my mage turned Blood Mague.

^yes and we see how well that turned out as Gregoir had to call for the right of annulment.

I do believe reading on how the mages were encouraged to lean towards blood magic so their tendencies would be discovered and dealt with. The more and more I play Origins, the less I read the codex entries, however, and so some of the details get forgotten.

You can thank my dog for that: Two days ago I was on my replay when she decided to bury a bone in my bed. Disgusting. When I returned to the computer the codex entry had been open, and it stuck on me -I had never noticed in all my playthroughs-.

Not than, in hindsight, is a bad idea, since the one time they had an experienced Blood Mague rebell, he massacred the Templars and senior Enchanters, and send the survivors running.  Not than the Templar School dropout, the expelled-on-his-harrowing day wizard, the old lady healer, and the escaped chantry sister with a past had any trouble putting down the rebellion, but then if anything Dragon Age has taught us is than a bligthed squirrel would destroy entire nations if you left things to the competence of the common people.

Ahhh, ok. I never made that connection, but by the time I did the mage backstory, I wasn't reading all the codex entries of ones that I had collected before.
