So we know from Dorian that blood magic can be used to alter ones sexuality. I don't know any other such examples from the top of my head but:

 

Could blood magic be used to cause other permanent effects on ones perception as opposed to temporary ones ( at the moment ) as we see in games? Make someone change their view on particular things in life, make someone a brainwashed slave that will never rebel, make someone fall in love without it fading away etc? 

 

Could blood magic also be used on ones self perhaps as well, as self hypnosis?

A talk with Krem implies that it's possible that blood magic can be used to change someone's sex. I suppose that would work like a permanent form of shapeshifting somewhat related to what Morrigan does. I've also always been interested in the possibly that blood magic also with the creation school of magic can be used to create a homunculus or even actual human life from wholecloth. 

 

But to what you are saying, if time magic is a thing, then anything is possible especially if blood magic is involved, so yeah permanent mind control or personality changes are totally doable.

I think the talk with Krem is more hypothetical.   If you could change yourself with magic would you do it?    Rather than automatically assuming it is possible.     

 

I also don't think the blood magic was changing Dorian's underlying sexuality but simply controlling his mind to accept his situation.    Hence the possibility that his sub-conscious would still be fighting the compulsion and the conflict would break his mind, rendering him a drooling vegetable.   Of course I could be wrong about this but the way I understand the blood magic control is that it has to be maintained by magic and that if it wears off then theoretically the person would return to their previous state of mind.   However, usually the mind has been so badly damaged that they die.   In DA2 control of the mind seemed to be linked with actions of a demon, so the blood magic summons a demon who then exercises control of the person on your behalf.   May be all these ways are true; after all we have never really gone into the mechanics of blood magic in depth like they would in Tevinter.

 

The Qun can "fix" people's minds without the aid of magic, simply by using standard mind altering techniques, so I suppose blood magic could also be used to alter their mind permanently as an alternative.

[(Disgusted noise.)]

Actually Dorian says that it's unknown whether or not blood magic could work that way. It's just that his father was willing to take the risk to find out. He says it also could have made him a drooling vegetable.

In Last Flight, Isseya had to constantly exert herself in order to keep the griffons under control. It could be possible, but I would bet it's a very complex process.

Qunari also claim that they don't go to Fade to dream, but they do have mages... I wouldn't be sure whether there's no magic involved, especially with those "soulless" workers - there are theories that Qunari actually employ something akin the rite of Tranquility... just don't believe/admit this to be magic

[raging_monkey]

Hmm its possible that qunari magic is artificial and merely a byproduct of their creation so it could be innate rather fade based or taint based

Blood magic is a heavy burden. You either go drunk with power or sacrifice years of your life. Either way there's a steep price tag for using it too much.

 

Go drunk with power, who wouldn´t want rocket boots? That is not a price, more like a gift.
