#and trying to untangle BioWares lore is a whole task unto itself

[dragonologist-phd]

does blood magic really make a mage more likely to be possessed. does it. because the more i look into the lore the more it feels like a skewed statement at best and a straight up lie at worst

like i’m sitting here doing way too much research for fic reasons and trying to think about this stuff and it’s like...we have somniari, who are super connected to the Fade and therefore in extra danger  from demons. And sure, that makes sense.

But then we also have blood mages, who are less connected to the Fade because they draw their power from blood instead- and they’re also supposedly in more danger from demons? That one just doesn’t make sense to me? The best i can figure is that mages who use blood magic to summon/control demons simply have more interaction with them than the typical mage, but by the previous logic they should also find demons easier to resist
