Battlemage

Battlemages in Thedas
The Battlemage is a specialization that is available in Dragon Age: Origins - Awakening. Some mages specialize in spells that permit them to engage in combat from afar. Battlemages, by contrast, prefer to wade into the fray alongside their blade-wielding companions, close enough to read the fear in their opponents' eyes. Their spells primarily concern personal preservation as well as control of the elements in their immediate surroundings.
