That's fine by me, seeing as his family is part of it though, I guess that means he has Royal blood in him. Even so he could learn and ask his family to teach him what they know even if he has no magic talent. Like in Orgins a dwarf woman was allowed to go to the circle to study magic even though she is a dwarf. He may not have magic but he would still try to learn all he could about everything they knew so he could be in some ways useful. I'm fine with him not being labeled as such in society and the like. However he would see himself as one because his family is part of it and he has been attempting all his life to be apart of it despite not being a mage.I'm not saying his family should abandon him--I'm saying they wouldn't have trained a person in the works of a specified mage field if he didn't show any aptitude towards magic. Mages can sense magic and if he hadn't expressed any talent, say by puberty, then they wouldn't have trained him. There simply would be no point in it. Mortalitasi use magic to preserve the dead and reanimate bodies--none of which he can do. If you think about this way; a person does not get sent to a Circle of Magi simply for being related to a mage. They might be watched closely to see if the power manifests, but they have to have shown the capacity for using magic first then taken to the Circle where they learn to harness their power before they made to go through their harrowing. One does not come before the other. It's just common sense to wait and see first before training him in a craft that uses magic extensive to perform their duties.
Another thing is, Mortalitasi are linked by royal blood and it is quite customary for Nevarran royalty to employ them as advisors. So he would have to be part of the lower royal family in Nevarra. The Mortalitasi was founded by a Tevinter Mage Vitus Fabria who was an advisor to Caspar Pentghast the 1st or Caspar the Magnificent--that was three centuries ago in the Steel Age in the chronological timeline of Dragon Age lore.
So, he can help out the Mortalitasi--but he can't and would not be trained as one nor would he be labeled as such.
That is correct. I researched it and they do use lyrium-based explosives.I think the only reason why I thought they had gunpowder is because, in Origins, they show Dwarves with cannons, catapults, and ballistae fighting Darkspawn. Thought the Sha-Brytol can use it as well with the rods that break apart barriers that Earthshakers use.
Yeah...I might have made a male dwarf and dated Cassandra for the comedic value of watching how far she had to bend down just to kiss the guy. lol It was a little awkward to watch him dance with Floriane--kept asking how he was doing all that waltzing and keeping up with her when she obviously had a longer stride than him. XD
Basically. Royal blood, learning what he can about the Mortalitasi and traditions. Can't do them still learning them. Considers himself as part of the organization, everyone including his family sees him as outside help who is of royal status but not an actual Mortalitasi like the rest of his family
