I was playing this earlier with a mage Surana and says that she couldn't teach them without years of training in her ways, not that it'd be impossible. The reason she gaves is her way of practicing magic is different from that of the Circle (doesn't require pouring over nearly as many dusty books) and would basically require retraining the Warden from the ground up.

I suppose the best analogy would be to say... between training to ride a horse and then being presented with a bull instead. The concept itself is similar enough that you recognise what you need to do, but it's going to throw you off at lot at first, because it's a whole different animal than you're used to dealing with?

Hedge mages are similarly supposed to have had their magic manifest in unorthodox ways, so it's harder to retrain them (if at all) in Circle practices because they've become used to channeling their magic in a certain manner unique to them. Furthermore, even mages with similar training have their own particular quirks and things that "clunk" when it comes to their magic, according to banter between Bull and Solas.


Flemeth lies. I wouldn't take her reply - I can't teach you for reason "X" quite so literally.

Her reply to a male mage is funnier. I don't think there's any education at all in that case...

Like anything people do, we all do a lot of the same things but, we do them in different ways. I'm sure we all bathe regularly but, I'd bet no two of us do it exactly the same. Bath or shower, what order you wash the parts of you in, how long it takes you, etc... different for each of us. Spell casting for mages is probably the same. Same end effect and some commonalities (the soap and water so to speak)but different ways of using them.
