You end up with a lot of free time when you're stuck here, don't you? I've been reading the old journal entries for entertainment mostly, but I'm starting to feel like a shut-in, so I thought I'd ask everyone a question to get to know you better

What do you mean, 'how does it work'? It's magic. Everyone knows how that works. Even dwarves.

And they're about as magical as their rocks.

Magic?

[He puts on a thoughtful frown.]

Magic derived from what? Gods? Items? Yourself? It's hard to believe that 'magic' is all there is to it.

[Oh, right, not everyone is from Thedas.]

Humans and elves are linked to a realm known as the Fade. It's where our dreams come from, where we visit when we sleep. Magic comes from the Fade.

And some of us are born with the ability to manipulate the energy of the Fade as we like. Mages can summon the elements, heal wounds, things like that.

The Fade, huh? I've never heard of it. And you can still reach it here, to power your magic?

Ah, assuming that you're one of those people who're born able to use it, that is.
