I really need to have time to read that piece. This week, probably.
I love Ashe and Elissa tag-teaming, and yeah, blending magic systems is tricky. Here's one thought: Learning to use a spell is something anyone can do, but it takes a lot more out of you if you're not connected to the Mist/the Fade strongly. (i.e.: meta-explanation for variations in Magick stats, and why Penelo and Fran are better spellcasters than Basch and Balthier.)
I think that's an excellent way to explain why the Darkspawn are there, and here I'm just sort of noodling around: Would the Fereldans interpret Mist as fade-bleed? Does such a thing exist? I mean, I imagine that's how they would explain it to themselves, but is that something that even exists in Ferelden?
