Love it when mages/spellcasters in stories have slightly otherworldly traits. Unnatural eye colors/pupil shapes, unusual skin tones/hues, sharp/animal like teeth, nails, or ears, fur/horns/scales/feathers where they'd normally have none, etc.
#dunno what a normal tag for this would be so#world building#dragon age#bg3#i am adopting this into my dragon age canon btw#i love thé idea of mages in thedas having this extra something that can make it harder for them to blend in sometimes#some of them could be super subtle like morrigan's glinting yellow/golden eyes#or some could be more obvious and harder to hide#like imagine anders having to wear gloves/hand wraps all the time because he has claws/monstrous hands#or an apostate on the run needing to hide their frog shaped pupils from everyone they meet#a circle mage being a pariah because everyone thinks they're half Qunari because of their horns#hehe anyway it can be applied to any world with magic in it#maybe the trait even corresponds to the magic type that's most natural for them to learn/cast#a wizard specialized in water magic who has fish scales/gills#a sorcerer born with owl eyes/feathers finds it easier to cast magic at night#a mage who finds fire magic exceptionally easy to cast has claws and can breathe fire#it's just so much fun to play around with
