Likewise, though I would be interested in hearing about it nonetheless.
Oh, some think so, but they don't have the influence needed to make true change. Even I don't, as my boon for ending the Fifth Blight was freedom for my Circle tower. The Chantry refused, though Queen Anora does her best to give them some breathing room. I could recruit other mages into the Grey Wardens, but that would only get them out of the tower. It's not true freedom, and it's a hard life that many Circle mages wouldn't be suited for.
From my understanding, blood magic is usually a talent acquired through a deal with a demon, which is never a wise thing for a mage to do anyway. It also seems to require sacrifices for the more powerful spells. One slaver mage I encountered was willing to sacrifice a roomful of slaves just to save his skin. I didn't let that happen.
