Generally, only those who use lyrium to enter the Fade are able to separate their dreams from reality.
For non-mages, entering the Fade while dreaming is a fleeting and inconsequential experience but mages have a greater awareness of their dreams. Ĭonventional magic originates from the Fade, the realm where spirits dwell and where humans, qunari, and elves visit when they dream.
Eventually, several social classes of mages were established in Tevinter, from the "Altus," upper class mages said to be descendants of the Dreamers of Ancient Tevinter, to the "Laetan," born into non-mage families or families with no link to the higher Altus or Dreamer class. As magic tends to run in bloodlines, the Tevinter Imperium kept extensive genealogies of all families known to produce magical talent. Some people are born with the ability to interact with, control, and shape it.
In Thedas, magic is a natural physical phenomenon such as gravity or magnetism. “ A mage is fire made flesh and a demon asleep” ―a saying
