Character: Cullen Rutherford
Powers/abilities: It's a little complicated, but basically templar training includes some abilities which are technically magical in nature, that... well, they nullify magic. He can cleanse an area of hostile magic, even "silence" a mage if necessary (basically temporarily prevent them from casting any spells). HOWEVER... (see below)
Any nasty side-effects or drawbacks: It's a little unclear in canon, but in order for these abilities to be most effective, Cullen would have to be taking lyrium, which he hasn't for some time. So while he could, in theory, still do these things, they wouldn't be as powerful and he's also out of practice with them, since he quit the templars a while back. Lyrium is basically a drug that Cullen was forced to become addicted to, and he quit taking it when he quit the templars. SO YEAH.
