Sadly for your meagre grasp of the lore, mages are also given magical education prior to the Harrowing. They even know about demons. What they don't know, is what the Harrowing itself entices.
What mages don't know is how to fight demons.
Because they are not taught.
'Magical education', whatever that entails, is clearly not adequate. Mages don't have any spells or meditation exercises or any tools of any kind to help them combat demons. They aren't even taught how to recognise a demonic illusion, as Wynne's Nightmare makes painfully clear.
You know what firefighters do before they get thrown into live exercises? They learn the specific skills needed to fight fires. We don't just teach them how to drive trucks, slide down poles and call it good.
What demon-fighting skills or techniques are mages equipped with prior to their Harrowing? Name some, explain how they work.
And you know this how? Oh that is right, your own headcanon supercedes the ACTUAL canon of the game, again how silly of me to forget.
In all seriousnes though, instead of your silly headcanon, we KNOW that mages are haunted by demons their entire life. Therefore we can logically deduct that already from an early age, the mages are taught EXACTLY what is going on with them, and how to combat it. However, the Harrowing itself they aren't taught about. THis means that for a mage, who had to struggle all his life with demons, will find the Harrowing easy. While a weak pathetic mage, who has never had much trouble with demons, might find it terrifying, but his lack of experience is exactly why the Harrowing is needed.
But can we just quickly confirm that you actually know squat about the entirety of what Circle Mages are really taught, and that the crux of the amtter is that you really, really really, want it to be true that they aren't taught about demons?
