The Primeval Thaig shows us that it's incredibly likely that the Dwarves were once Mages.
Also, Sandal. Even if he's half-Dwarf, he's still a Dwarf. And in DAII, he froze an Ogre solid using "Not Enchantment".
2)The Anvil of the Void...was built over a century after the union with Tevinter, and if you've played the DLC(Golems Amgarak) you understand that it was created with the support of the Tevinter Empire, which has received a lot of dwarf golems, including huge Juggernauts
That's not the history of the Anvil of the Void at all. While it's true Golems of Amgarrak had Dwarves working with Tevinter, that was to create a new Anvil. It wasn't indicative of the origins of the old Anvil -- otherwise, Tevinter would have no need to buy Golems from the Dwarves as they could've made their own Anvil/Golems.
Given the fact that the Primeval Thaig has golems in it and Caridin talks about a vision the Ancestors gave him, I'd conjecture that the Anvil of the Void is a remnant from the Primeval Thaig era -- an era that predates the Dwarven Empire we know of and predates even Tevinter.
Indeed, the codex on the Primeval Thaigs implies fairly strongly that Orzammar is near a Primeval Thaig as well, because it's a sealed missive from the Royal Archives of Orzammar talking about a Dwarven idol recovered from an old Thaig.
And it'd make no sense for a Dwarf to have somehow survived a trip from Orzammar to Kirkwall's PT and then make the trip back. That simply wouldn't be possible for a scavenger.
and golems are created by injecting molten lirium into "armor" (empty golem) with Dwarf/Elf/Human inside
Broadly, I'd say blood magic could be classified as using life to fuel any sort of magical act -- be it in the form of blood as is typically seen or some other fashion like with lyrium.
So I'd say under a broad sense of blood magic, the Anvil of the Void would be classified as such.
3)Sendai is probably a half-elf dwarf who spent a lot of time with raw lirium....and it still can not be called a mage
Yes, Sandal can be called a Mage. Though a half-Dwarf, he's still a Dwarf just as all Half-Elves are Human. So he's still a Dwarven Mage, considering that he froze an Ogre solid with "not enchantment" -- obviously, a spell.
Also, Bodahn only
speculates that Sandal was lyrium addled. Doesn't make it true.
Personally, I'm leaning towards Sandal's mother being an Elf. We know he's the bastard son of an Aeducan male and that his mother was either a human or Elf. David Gaider told us that the reason all half-elves are human has to do with magic -- which I take to mean a Tevinter curse.
