The book hasn't even come out yet.

The preview has. And from it we know it starts slightly earlier then Asunder.

[Shadow of Light Dragon]

There is not one spell that does that nor are they really available to do so. 

 

 

I think there are possibly a few more spells than those we've seen in the games and books so far. Keep an open mind.

1. It's not ready available to hand maidens.

2. The only magic that can change the persons from is blood mage or shape shift and that only works on the user only.

3. And both those are out side circle mage practices.

We are already going to get an Asunder character, and I would really prefer not to see any more book characters.

 

Really? Is Rhys the mustache mage then?

 

 

And I agree...context is good, but the 'average' fan isn't buying the novels and they want to keep things accessible, plus, I want to not know backstory on everyone going in, even if I follow the lore. Maybe thats trying to have my cake and eat it to, but we already have 'meta knowledge' on Varric and Cass, possibly Cullen. I definitely want the majority of companions to be completely fresh faces if it is at all possible.

As far as you know.

The only magic not know is which hedgemages. Regular mages don't have that ability unless it's blood magic. This is lore.

I don't see it happening, since we already have a circle mage as companion. I am still hoping for a Tevinter magister companion, and moustache man looks more the part to me than our bald elf. I suspect Cole will be the Asunder character.

[quickthorn]

On the subject of the blonde elf, I still think that is Sera. The concept art of her in the tavern shows a vulgar sense of humour which goes with the brattish description from the survey. I didn't get that sense from Briala.

Wynne (who is definitely not a blood mage) has a banter with Dog where she teases that she could grow his tail back, change his fur color or give him antlers. I don't know if this is really possible, but I don't see why not. Magic is limited in the game, but not much suggests it has to be limited outside of it.

1. She was joking.

2. Their is not one school of magic that can do that .

3. Only blood magic is shown to change form.

 

The reason why mages just can do it is because of how magic is treated in DA. It's always based on cause and effect. It does not just happen just because. None of the magic schools of the circle can make that from of cause to make that effect. I'm not saying it's impossible to do it, it just the circle does not have the means to do so.

Unless I've missed it, I haven't seen any lengthy previews that could reveal exactly where the entire book takes place.

....What?

The first chapter points out that around the same time around Asunder being that the first chapter covers why the divide spoke out in the ball in asunder the way she did. And the fact that the book is covering the elven uprising show how much it's and asuder's story will cross paths. It may not be detailed down down to the day but it clear, from chapter 1, it's starting a bit earlier than Asunder and happening at the same time.

I really, really, really hope Empress Celene is a companion. Please, Maker.

 

Empress and follower don't really mix, do they?

We had a king in our party....or more could of had a king in our party.

That we (possibly) crowned.  What he was when he joined our party was an unacknowledged bastard in the Grey Wardens.

Which why I added " or more could of had a king in our party." Really, in rpgs there's the possibility for anyone to be a party member. Statues means nothing.

[upsettingshorts]

Whatever you say.

Enchantments don't work like that. They do shoot out from the item. Added the way she burnt him would be impossible to do with out burning herself if she did not have a way to protect and control the fire from the ring. And there is no ring in the lore that shot fire out. The only items that do are staves and you have to channel magical power from the user to get them to fire. The only way she can use the ring the way she does is if she was a mage.

Spoiler

She never shot fire from anything, she just had a flaming dagger.

Point me to a lore source that says simple glamor spells are out of the reach of the circle. One codex entry (the one on training apprentices how to use weapons... Don't know how to link on mobile) suggests that apprentices are taught little Sorrells for parades and the like.

Changing hair color is likely much easier than throwing a fire ball.

Hang on. Magic can't do that, at all. Now, she could grow his tail back with some advanced healing probably, but forcible shapeshifting or color changing? Not likely. And even if she could, it'd probably be an illusion, not true change.

The dagger was never on fire. The fire was from the her ring. She shot fire up the rest of his arm to make some distance. And the digger would of burn her too with the way she grabbed him and burnt him.

1. Point to one mage in da that uses a glamor spell.

2. The only mages that were should to hold back age  was the baroness and she was a blood mage.

3. Point to one school of circle mage that can do that effect.

 

Magic in da is done through cause and effect it does not "just happen".

 

I never said it was impossible to change looks with magic. I just said you have to use blood magic or use an unknown form of hedgemagic to do so.

Enchants don't work like that. They don't shot magic. The only items that do have to have magic channeled into them, like staves. Only mages can use items like that.

We'll have to agree to disagree until I can read that scene again.
