We have two maybe three (it depends how the explosion was caused in DA:I) cases where mages have almost caused the destruction of the world, one was the old magister who was ruler of Thedas and no one could stand up against them and who sought power and not the destruction of the world simply because they messed with something that no one could cause such a thing (The Black city is an unknown), two was a mage who was trained to be a weapon of destruction and he carried his mission out to the letter in a bad way.
Mages in general don't want to cause the destruction of the world simply because they live in the world and don't want to die, the few that do don't have the power to do it, expect for one who was extremely lucky to find a mask that remained undetected for thousands of years and unused for a very long time.
That are are only 3 we know... 2 happened in same 10 years timeline and fourth was as i said danger to human kind.
I have no doubt that most mages don't want cause world destruction i certain way it doesn't rly matter i mean does magisters wanted destroy world ?Does mages want become an abomnations that are threat to the world?No simple mages are endless mine disasters because of their actions and and the possible consequences and their weight regardless of their intentions.And well not to mention crazy mages aren't something that series lacks...
No one could cause such thing well mages did otherwise there wouldn't be such thing...
So no mages can't do such things how as i said look on last 10 years in da.
most abominations seems more intent on "seeing" the world through mortal eyes and feed off them and/or conquer the world under their rule rather then destroy it and at times they are also mindless just causing death without much of a plan like Darkspawn.
Not rly see connor or uldred they weren't mindless and rule the world meant pretty much kill everything in their way save for some peoples but it didn't seem that they would spare them for long and well for something different than mind controled puppets or short-term source of entertainment until it bore them.
Yeah, I'm not denying that the Vashoth mage was dangerous for a whole lot of someones. I'm not denying that he was before he got the mask, and I'm certainly not denying that the mask didn't help much. And at no point have I denied that the world is richer for having lost him. Point is, you haven't sold me on him being dangerous to the entire world. That is an entirely different scale of threat that you haven't sold me on, and that I think is a pretty hasty conclusion on both his part and that of the other characters.
Well if veil destruction is nothing for you i guess you won't do anything about that in dai?As i said he wanted to do that and we saw he was doing what he wanted to do (read destroy veil and bring army of demons to destroy everyone) that and he rather had some idea how masks works.
