Templar
Templar adds magic and mental resistance; its description centers on dispelling and resisting magic and countering mages.
How it works
The one-time bonus is +2 magic and +3 mental resistance. The specialization description identifies dispelling and resisting magic as templar powers and frames templars as a means of controlling arcane power. In Origins it can be unlocked by Alistair or a manual. Unlocking alone does not activate it; the character must also spend a specialization point.
