[ Indeed if anyone does go looking for Marian Hawke or happens to wander into the Malum in the next few hours they will find the Champion of Kirkwall there, tucked away in the most isolated corner she can manage nursing a drink. It might be her fifth at this point, not that it matters she has an amazing tolerance. She is leaning on the table lazily, idly thumbing through her communicator as her mabari, fondly named Dog, sits protectively by her feet.

She looks miserable, or bored, it's a little tough to tell. But what a better time to bother her, right? ]

I only know what Cullen and Wolfe told me. I know how powerful it is, of course, but I always imagined it as more of a catalyst.

thats about correct
when made correctly it is kind of a on the spot pick me up for mages
i cant cast spells forever eventually i will run out of mana and become exhausted
the potions gives me back some of it while also boosting my spells for a time

[brainiest]

I knew that magic worked on mana, but I didn't realise you could run out. That sounds exhausting.

its sorta the same thing as energy i guess
im kinda useless if i am tired wouldnt be able to throw even the smallest fireball
can be in long fights

[brainiest]

My magic is so different, I suppose. It's just like fighting normally - if you get tired then you need to stop, and it's more physical than any kind of magic source inside me. It must be difficult to balance.
