Veilfire is a kind of magical fire that can be found in numerous places across the world of Thedas in Dragon Age: Inquisition.
Veilfire was developed and perfected by elves in a time prior the founding of the Tevinter Imperium to serve various purposes, the most simple being provding a source of lighting. As such, it burns without the need of wood or oil, though the flames can be quenched by pouring water over them. However, veilfire can also be used to activate certain inactive spells and, most importantly, as an advanced form of writing. Messages written using veilfire can transmit tangible sensations and complex ideas and feelings to the reader, yet only ancient elves seem to have mastered this art.
While only mages can summon it, anyone can carry veilfire and use it to light braziers or examine writings or runes. Generally, holding source of veilfire is enough for the reader to gain understanding of the inscriptions, but more complex or ancient texts (such as the ones found in the Temple of Mythal) may require additional knowledge to decipher them.
In game, Veilfire can be used to find runes and activate devices. Veilfire braziers can be lit by mages and interacted by any party mamber in order to acquire a torch. This torch will allow the characters to interact with the runes. Engaging in combat or leaving the area will cause the characters to drop the torch.
Trivia
- Only elemental rune schematics (fire, frost, lightning and spirit) can be found by locating and activating runes with veilfire.
