<sup>An Orlesian girl discovers lightning in her fingers when she touches a lake and kills all the fish. In the woods down the road, an elderly elf hides from templars. His only company are the undead he calls to rise by cutting his arms. Far north, a Qunari with the power to make fire from air is chained, masked, and led around like a dog on a leash.
These are mages. The terrible gift they wield is magic. And depending on their home, they may be feared, oppressed, or even celebrated.

Magic within The World of Thedas.</sup>
