"I am a Mage, and have studied some of the healing magics, yes," Solas said, pulling his own clothes back into place before facing the elf.
"But I would not go so far as to call myself a healer. This particular - affliction, as you call it - is no ordinary disease, or magic. It is part of an object known only as the Anchor, the only key able to control the Rifts. Or to close the Breach. It is - an ancient thing, brought into this world by an evil known now only by Corypheus. The Anchor- is not evil in itself, as far as I believe, but it was powerful. Whole, only a bearer of immense power could wield it. It slowly ate at the woman who bore it, until finally, drawing upon it to close the breach, it slew her."
He paused, then, the gravity of the story stripping his pleasant manner and leaving someone far older, far more tired, in its place. Then that vision was gone, and Solas offered a sympathetic smile.
"I could not say, how powerful it is, in its current form. Other than that I had thought it destroyed, so obviously it is more powerful than I had originally imagined."
