QunariMage is a Class in Dragon Age 3: Inquisition. Mages are the spell casting class, that use a variety of elements to deal damage, or can even heal their party. Note: Elves get a 25 percent bonus to Ranged Defense, Dwarves get a 25 percent bonus to Magic Defense, and Qunari get a 10 percent bonus to Melee Defense.
"Those who can tap into the raw energy of the Fade and block the whispering temptations of demons are truly exceptional. When they turn that mental focus onto the field of war, they can be truly terrifying opponents. Rains of fire, walls of ice, or even the ability to heal allies make up a mage's toolkit. Most employ considerable skills rendering foes not only weakened, but also vulnerable to physical attacks, setting up opportunities for their teammates to exploit."
