He wasn't the only one, just saying.
It's not illegal to study the theory of Bloodmagic for various reasons some times a mage can come up with a counter messieurs like the item in DA:O or to created Grey Warden etc.
which he would never have if the blight hadn't happened and the blight also made sure what happened in Kirkwall and what eventually lead to the Templar mage war. Also if the blight wasn't happening then the Templars would have gotten reinforcements to take down the army the pride demon was making, what happened in Ferelden wasn't exactly your every days run of the mill circle business. Bloodmages are most of time bad, but more because of their personality rather then bloodmagic after all Bloodmagic doesn't have a mind of it's own it's the people who wield the bloodmagic who does bad things not the bloodmagic itself.
We have had two games where the circumstances in the circle was far from normal Ferelden had the blight, Kirkwall is the worst and also the one of the biggested circle in all of Thedas with two very incompetent leaders. So easy to forget stuff like that it seems.
Grey Wardens mostly keep to themselves when there isn't a blight also in Ferelden every faction literally couldn't deliver armies because they had various problems. besides when the blight happens Gray Wardens will do anything, because the blight will destroy everything as Meredith she took over a city, sent death squads to kill people, tried to turn the guard into templars and call annulment for the wrong reasons, she broke a lot of rules as her duty as a templar, if she had survived the events of Kirkwall she would either be killed off or imprisoned.
No offence but your DA lore knowledge is lacking here, Seeker aren't Templars even though they occasionally hunt mages their main mission is to keep the templars in line it's the reason why Templars don't like Seekers.
I doesn't matter as i said to my point...
Eee only it that blood magic is banned by the chantry even simple knowing blood magic and by that being blood mage is death sentence jowan is best example...
Only accepted form are phylacteries nothing more.
Those are excuses pro-mages love make them up as i said we have colosal numbers of disasters caused by mages and for every case pro-mages have excuse if we want play in 1000 excuses im out.. and no fact that circles are corrupted and pretty much it can lead to another tragedy and often leads jowan , uldred and many blood mages in circles same for kirkwall... And uldred wanted to overthrow chantry so he could do his banned research so it would go this way...
So i guess blight created uldred and make those mages blood mages ups or perhaps it was rain yes it was rain everyone is god fault!
No most wardens didn't liked that the warden and alistair broke neutrality rule so well... same here...
So what? That is what templars do hunt mages and protect normal peoples from them if peoples help criminals they become criminals it is simple...
And no she didn't tried turn guards into templars she wanted help from them with the crisis read blood mages invasion.
Not rly annulment was right kirkwall circle was full of blood mages including FE.
You mean codex that don't know much about seekers because from what i renember seekser went with templars to hunt down mages and well templars weren't very scared of them in dots.
