While the rite is unusual enough on its own, Wynne is paired with the Initiate Dara, whom she can hardly understand. For Wynne, serving the Quinarium as a Mage means rebelling against her family's wishes and turning her back on wealth and status, while in Dara's eyes, becoming a Blood Mage is the only way she sees to escape a life of poverty.
