“It isn't that there's nothing like that, just—” a shrug. The thing that makes mages controllable is not going to be one of the things that relies on a mage to utilize, even if a mage is involved at some point in the process. “I don't think it's common knowledge that that's how they're made, either, for what it's worth. As for those phylacteries—”

She frowns, slightly.

“Definitely not all of them. When Riftwatch was just a satellite, a lot of them were found, and I think they were here for a bit? The Inquisition was going to turn them over to the Chantry, I think. There was a great big to do about it, and I think it's partly why we're our own thing— one of the division heads at the time kicked off, and then the mages kicked off, and then the Chantry got dragged to the negotiating table and they've almost certainly been sore about it ever since.”
