The magical school of creation is basically never referred to again and spirit healers, one of the most popular mage classes becomes irrelevant. On the other hand, they completed went back on and gutted an important lore aspect of magic in dragon age. This prevents strict narrowing of a role and creating an essential character. It made sense because it gave other characters a means to heal and warriors a means to be Tanky. DAI attempted to combat reliance on healing through the usage of other means such as potions and “extra hp” armor.
