if there's enemy archers, they can just... set the bowstring on fire. that's it. woe. all they have is a bendy stick now.
#txt#solas#dragon age meta#<- only nominally but i just tag stuff like that so i remember it for later in my mind palace#i think this is a solas-coded tactic bc iron bull mentions that his magic is very nondescript and not flashy#and just standing there inobtrusively like “🥚👍” while all the enemy archers have a simultaneous panic attack and their formation collapses#seems like his vibe#presumably he tried this on andruil once and she declared an eternal blood feud#my other hot take is that dalish cavalry archers should be Incredibly Scary bc they're on like#moose or elk or protein shake halla or whatever#and so they're just leaping around and hitting stuff with their antlers while the elf is shooting things#ANYWAY i was thinking about this bc i think circle mages would be trained in very direct and obvious magic methods#bc they're generally put into like. armies if they ever go outside to use them#and the templars wouldn't want them being too sneaky#but apostates should be doing some truly underhanded bullshit tactics#my tag essay ended up longer than my actual essay bc i got distracted. tell me about funky spell ideas in the replies if you want
