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
