[She's worse than Morrigan - to her sleep-deprived mind that takes a bit to catch up. The sentence sounds like a riddle at first blush, but actually makes perfect sense.]
And it doesn't now. So you're, um...a hedge mage? [Wait, that might not be polite.] A...shaman?
[The fact is, she's not confined to the magic theory Katherine knows. That part of her mind that grew up with the Chantry's view of magic balks, but part of her knows that as long as it doesn't veer into true blood magic, it could be one of her best chances. This is all for a quicker cure for abominations, but it's not some broad-reaching project for all of mage-kind, though that is certainly the end goal. Like so many of her highest ambitions, it's persons and events close to her heart that drive it first and foremost. If it works for them, she can apply it to all of them. But first, it is for them.]
