So Cullen describes what he went through in the Circle in Ferelden, trapped and forced to confront a demon and those who couldn't resist were killed.
And it hit me, Cullen basically went through something very similar to the Harrowing. Clearly he is unable to make that connection, but a mage Trevelyan makes it immediately.
When mage!Trevelyan tells this to Cullen, but he's rather adamant that the Harrowing is not that bad and that it's necessary. Mage!Trevelyan is not having any of that crap.
I just want someone to point out that the thing that left Cullen horribly scarred is something that almost all mages are forced to go through, maybe give him a little sympathy towards them.
(please don't make this romantic, Cullen/any mage really squicks me out)
