I think it be cool to have a dwarf caster as a recruit.   Yeah some may have not helped her reach the Circle of Magi but then she won't be available for those who didn't... which would just increase the gameplay for DragonAge as a whole.  Maybe the a Werewolf recruit...

Does anyone know if the gold is being transfered?   I wouldn't think so since trap glitch is still there.

Dagna wants to study magic, but as a dwarf she can't become a mage. Having her re-appear as a magic-oriented scholar in the future, however, might be kind of cool.

The epilogue refers to her as a mage. Should this be considered more of an honorary title then, kind of like Seth MacFarlane getting an honorary degree from Harvard? ;-)

I believe she goes to the Circle, but not to become a mage.

Here's my question, though: how do
specializations like the Templar and Reaver fit in with the lore
restricting magical talent to a very select few, and will Dagna invent
more abilities like theirs (read: limited supernatural abilities that
non-mages are capable of using) in the future?

For the same reason that any non-mage can become a Templar or a Reaver -- dwarves aren't incapable of performing any kind of magic whatsoever, they're incapable of becoming mages. They don't naturally enter the Fade and aren't able to cast spells.

Yes, as A Golden Dragon mentions, it's the wording of the epilogue card that causes confusion. She is specifically referred to as "The dwarven mage, Dagna..."

I suppose that's true. "Wanna-be mage" probably didn't have quite the same ring to it. :)

Now...if Mr Gaider changes that
somehow..then maybe some people will see their wish come true, Dagna as
a mage.    I still doubt that will be done.


I imagine the difficulty comes in the difference between the spells used by a mage and some of the spell-like talents of specializations like Templar and Reaver. Those talents are certainly magical in nature, but they're not really spells. And it shouldn't be interpreted that dwarves can't do magic period -- they just can't cast spells or possess mana.
