I though it was an impostor at first, then time travel was introduced.

 

And fans the world over cried.

I thought it was blood magic. 

 

Me too.  I always assumed this timeline of events:

 

1. The rebel mages take sanctuary in Redcliffe.

2. Venatori nippers come along to drum up support for the alliance discreetly.

3. Inky reaches the Hinterlands but nobody cares because Inky's not important yet.

4. Inky gets important; Fiona hears Inky's gone to Val Royeaux and goes there to extend an invitation.

5. Fiona returns to Redcliffe.

6. Alexius warps time and arrives at Redcliffe before Inky can get there.

7. Some sort of blood magic Jedi mind trick is used; Fiona forgets about Inky and allies with Alexius.

8. Inky arrives at Redcliffe.  Hilarity ensues.

You can head canon it was blood magic or imposters in order for it to make sense but the fact is that in game the explanation is "time magic".     What is even more amusing is that when you get back and go to talk with Solas, he asks if you think it really was time magic or some trick of the Fade.   If you respond, well Dorian thinks so, then Solas Disapproves.   Apparently I should say that I am sure of it to merit his approval.   To my mind, particularly for a non-mage, the response "Dorian thinks so" is the most honest one.  He told me we had travelled in time but for all I know it could have just been someone manipulating our minds in the Fade.   If I undertook the whole risky enterprise in the first place on Dorian's say so, why should I change my stance now?   "It's time magic, go with it."

 

I do wonder if this dialogue option and Solas' reaction were deliberately put in there to mock us, knowing we would likely question to whole premise, yet here we are having still gone through with this plot path despite the absurdity of it all.

Blood magic would have made more sense.

Sorry, I wasn't clear. When we learn about time magic, our take-away is supposed to be that Fiona is just affected by the shift in her timeline. I meant I thought it was blood magic in the sense that before the time magic reveal, I thought she was just mind-wiped to forget out the encounter.

Envy Demon imposter makes the most sense. If Fiona had no memory of the meeting because of time magic, then neither should the Herald.

[Reaver102]

It is probably Envy. Envy was aready masquerading as the Lord Seeker. It is entierly possible that it assumed the form of Fiona in order to buy sime more time to corrupt the templars. Just my theory.

This was always the simplest of the explanations, not sure why people prefer time travel to it.

I'm on the 'it was blood magic' side of things.

 

Inquisitor: If it wasn't you who invited me here, who was it?

Fiona: I.. I don't know. Now that you say it I feel strange.

If it had just been someone/something impersonating her in Val Royeux then she wouldn't feel strange when confronted with the memory. Ditto for time travel, as it would simply have never happened to her.

 

Either Fiona got back from Val Royeux and promptly had the memory of a potential meeting/alliance with the inquisition erased from her mind so that the mages could be manipulated into the arms of Tevinter, or else Fiona was all ready being mind controlled when we saw her in Val Royeux and the invitation was truly Alexius's to lure the Inquisitor to his trap.
