Right? Revisiting it's a chance for new insight--but some folk are quicker to find a topic done to death.

There's also how folk regard their gifts, or how those around 'em do. The other mage from Thedas you spoke to--I take it he didn't tell you much of how the South thinks of mages? They're--most of them--afraid of us, and think magic an awful curse to be borne, and that seeps into how we think of ourselves. So talking about our Maker-given gifts can be hard, whether it's for thinking of them as a shameful burden, or because we expect others to greet that talk with fear.
