Merril on the other hand was a fool who dabbled in blood magic regardless of how many times she was warned against it. She didn't want to listen to her keeper or any of your companions until it was too late. Her lack of intelligence really turned me off from her character
soo
Merril is a fool because she was become a blood mage and use blood magic? i do not even talk about that her gameplay class is a blood mage and she is do blood magic in combat and cutscenes
ok i do not now how being blood mage and do blood magic makes mages fools, but lets starts with who and why...
She was become a blood mage, because stupid Merethari send her unprepared aprentice for that tainted mirror and Merril as Mahariel got blight what Merethari cant heal and Merril was get died because of this..actualy one of the cutted origins in DAO was a dalish mage who would have the same fate so we can be in the place of Merril if this origin was not cutted wtih human commoner
So merril does not let her die and she is learn blood magic and heal herself from blight and clean the mirror shard
She want to restore Eluvian becuase this is what dalish do to save and restore ancient knoledges and for what they and their Keepers stands for, and i am not even talk that not even dalish would kill(but merril does not kill and sacrifice anyone) dozens for that knoledge and working mirror
and she is do blood magic with demons/spirits contracts without killing anyone for more than 10 years,
she does doing that alone and far away from clan and she is not have any lyrium and help from her possesed by demon keeper merethari
and she was rely on blood magic and contats with demons because Merethari who was possesed by demon force her to do so and wait years when Merril will go for that cave and possesed Merethari danger her clan who have lost everything and slavers with templars as demons-undead attack them for years., many dalish die because of Merethari
Anders who was do blood magic and Merethari who was also was a blood mage specially posses themselfs with demons for their own sakes and believes, hawke was a apostage from apostages and blood mages family and i will not talk what he and his compani was done with red lyrium, anders, corynfeus, duke prosper
in the hole Hawke company only Merril was innocent and do not do specially or have any consequences by their own actions what cause bad stuff for thedas and their peoples, only what Merril do is restore a body of Flemeth with a soul of Mythal
