"Much and more. There are forms of magic other than blood magic that the Chantry would see banished for instance. Some of mine own would paint me an unnatural creature." Far more than simply that would paint her in such a light but it is always worth making sure a person knows that it isn't just the blood magic. It's the old ways, the old practices, the wild untamed things they cannot neatly label.
Things that they fear, that they teach the mages to fear. And then what do they expect to happen when the demons come or when they hurl the mages to the demons in the towers?
"Spirits...much of what is written comes from the Chantry. They are the Maker's first children, so it goes, but when they could only shape the Fade to their liking rather than imagine and create as you or I might, he turned his back upon them. Tis said that this is when the Maker created the Veil to separate the Fade from the new realm he created, one that the spirits could not alter at their whim. So it goes that some watched curiously, yet others watched with rather more dark desires." Sometimes it's so easy to slip into the storyteller again though Chantry tales aren't quite what she's used to compared to elven lore and histories though they may need to come to that given that the world is far older than belief in the Maker. They're only starting. "Mankind gave them names and values, split the 'good' into spirits, the 'evil' into demons though the Dalish hold that there are no good or evil, there are only spirits, they trust them little.
"Dealings with either are often fraught." To put it mildly, if the way her mouth quirks up at the corner is any sort of guide, remembering far too many instances during the time of the Fifth Blight alone that were so very rarely to do with the actual Blight itself.
