Creation was generally regarded as the most difficult school of magic to learn, but Brigham wondered sometimes if it wasn't just a lack of will to help others. Magic existed to serve man, and what purpose did a firestorm or blizzard serve? To the Enchanter, it was clear creation magics were the most beneficial. As a healer, he was doing the Maker's work, as intended. It was no secret that loyalist mages were rare, especially as of late, and perhaps it was bias, but Brigham saw more loyalist healers than rebel ones.

But, whether he was correct, or simply had a gift for creation magics, Brigham was one of a precious few mages that could serve as a decent healer. Joining the Inquisition had been a hasty, messy affair, being pulled from inquiring about joining the Inquisition to healing the Inquisitor himself only a few hours later. Since then, he's been all over Thedas, it seems, healing where required. Recently, though, that has most commonly been at the Inquisitor's side. Taking on Knight Enchanter specialist seemed to earn him more wounds than usual, and Brigham found himself worrying for the man every time he left his sight.

Finally his group was called back to Skyhold. For Brigham, it was his first time since joining the Inquisition to actually see the grand fortress. Staying there proved less enchanting than the view suggested. Inquisitor Lavellan had recruited the rebel mages, and as an unyielding loyalist, Brigham's presence was perhaps even more unwelcome than Cullen's Templars. They saw Brigham as a traitor to his own kind, and he saw many of them as those who had turned their back on the Maker and the Chantry. While he certainly hadn't tried to start anything, neither had he minced words when confronted by mages from his own Markham Circle.

It at least had not come to magical blows, but when Athras's party returned to Skyhold that afternoon, when Enchanter Brigham comes to check on his Inquisitor and tend to him, the familiar sight will be just a bit different than usual: on his cheek he sports a large wound across his cheekbone and next to his eye. Business as ever, he ignores it as he greets the Inquisitor with a formal nod and, "Your Worship."
