I remember a book I read once where the main character was a shapeshifter but she couldn't change into immortal forms like dragons, phoenixes etc maybe something similar distinguished the Creators from the other mages; they were capable of something extraordinary that the average person was not.
Or they could perform the Seven Wonders and become Supreme.
Off topic but is that a trilogy of books
Spoiler
The book I'm thinking of is by Tamora Pierce Immortal Magic or something but her books are 100% fantasy lands so it can't be the same one sorry 
I adore a good redemption arch. I still get all the feelz for that hobo samurai *sighs*
Yes, tears. There were a lot *sigh*
Edit: Also, apparently, I have a thing for hobos

I've never been able to watch the second OVa more than once though. Talk about ******* depressing.

And I GREATLY APPROVE.

2nd OVA? What? Does that even exist?
NOT IN MY UNIVERSE, NO.
seriously though, never watched it, never will. the manga's ending is the only ending i will ever acknowledge.
Another permutation to the Fen'Harel was just a regular elf taken on by Mythal as her progeny:
Maybe the rebellion happened before the godhood.
*snip*
The problem I see here is that the gods trusted Fen'Harel as one of them, and if he began as a rebel they certainly wouldn't. I think it more likely, and more compelling from a story standpoint, if he started out as truly one of them, including lording it over his followers, but at some point went through a sea change and began making plans to end the entire system.
About the orb being called Mythal's, we know the game went through design iterations and Gaider said some of them were significant story changes. It's possible they started out intending the orb to be an artifact of Flemythal, but decided that it would be more interesting to implicate Fen'Harel/ one of your companions in the Breach so they made the foci a general thing for elven gods.

The live action movies are surprisingly good though. Me love some Saito 
I haven't touched DAI since I finished it. But now I kinda wanna go back and have a fling with Cullen. Reading his forum page he sounds like quite a nice guy, at least so my lavellan isn't dying in agony over Solas...a distraction maybe? But then would Solas be mad....
I always wondered why Solas never erases your memory of him like he did with Cole...

LORD YES, thank god.
and, ermmm... i have an unholy amount of live action saito gifs 
Grabbing Chipotle real quick, but afterwards? MORE TYRDDA. Because I know you all want to know how Laughing Ladybits of the Sky (aka totes Mythal) and her human lady love get down and out.
Welp. Guess I'm not going to bed anytime soon.
About the lyrium/red lyrium:
"blue-green crystal [...] Once refined - that is, dissolved in a liquid or heated until it crumbles into a fine powder - lyrium is safe for all to use."
"If living beings are exposed to lyrium in its raw form, it will slowly drive them mad. It can also cause physical calamities, such as deafness, memory loss, and nausea."
Chalk or marble consist mainly of calcium carbonate, which can be dissolved in acid or (acidulated) water.
CaCO3 + 2 HCl 
CaCl2 + H2O + CO2
So the result is water, calcium chloride, and carbon dioxide. The latter will vanish into the air, heat the water and it will evaporate, and all you have left is the salt. of course, this example is bad because it's not toxic and all, but just to point out that heat or dissolving can decompose a mineral and if the toxic parts of it are "lost" (gas) or disposed of, the rest might be safe to consume.
Of course I cannot name a real mineral to compare the effects (mental sickness etc.). I assume there is nothing quite like this in our world.
Radiation is a compelling idea but the effects are different from those of lyrium. The effects mentioned sound rather like brain cell decay due to intoxication. Hence, maybe lyrium ejects something toxic... gas? Like a constant... very slow... transformation of its aggregate state due to... air pressure, like sedimentation, only stronger. I have no idea.
I always wondered why Solas never erases your memory of him like he did with Cole...
I'm not so sure Solas himself erased Cole's memory. It could be he just compelled Cole to erase his own memory. Either because spirits are easily manipulated through a certain form of magic, or because Cole trusts Solas.

We could always go with the "Dalish history isn't exactly the most reliable information" excuse, but yep, that's probably reaching.

Hmmm. Never thought of it like that. I guess cause Cole could potentially know where he is and what he is doing and relay that information to someone who would probably really want that information for their own personal intentions -cough- Lavellan -cough- No she wouldn't follow him into the fade or anything if she knew where he was...

"Wild Magic" Book One in The Immortals series. I love Tamora Pierce.
OMG I just got that.....

Weekes said that Solas didn't make Cole forget him, just what he (Cole) knew of his (Solas') purpose. Solas didn't want Cole to follow him.
OMG I just got that.....
Baldylocks comic or what I said?

Oh, I love those books! They're not the same ones, though. I'm sure I'll remember one day.
