Nowadays, during combat, I can see the enemies standing inside a green circle. All I know is that it's a spell that protects them , maybe from magic as well as other attacks perhaps. I just want to know what is the name of that spell? Is there any way to remove that spell? Since recently, this is one major problem that I'm facing during combat.

Thanks, inu-kun, for your reply...but do you know if there is any way I can dispell that? If the enemy is using that "green circle", they are resistant to magic attacks...and I'm a mage :(

I think the best way to go is to take out the mage as your #1 priority. Use rogues or cc to take them out. Using weapons that can inflict stuns is a great way to neutralise spellcasters.
Can't say I remember any cases where the enemy was pre-protected by magical spells. How about a screenshot?

Also... Don't complain about being a mage. Mages are, by far, the most powerful class in DA:O.

The green circle is probably Lifeward, which does not make them immune to anything. What it does is heal them automatically once their health is reduced to 0.

You can remove that kind of spell with Alistair's Cleanse, or with Dispel Magic.

nothing that stealth sneaking a rogue into the area to lay traps and then backstab the mage into little bits and then have the rest of the group run in

The two best spells you can get for dealing with mages are mana clash and crushing prison. CP is arguably the most broken spell in the game (it does Damage over time and paralyzes an opponent, enemies who are not paralyzed are slowed and still take damage). Use it on priority targets like mages and yellow enemies. A hidden feature of the spell is that if you use it on a target (friend or foe) that is under the effects of the Forcefield spell, they'll combo and release a large aoe damage and knockdown around the target. Just mind that your companions aren't in the blast radius. Mana Clash drains all a targets mana and deals damage based on the mana lost. Since mages have far more mana than health, they'll usually get one-shotted. It's also great for fighting demons. Another thing you should consider is bringing Alastair everywhere if you don't already. His specialization is Templar, which has some great abilities for taking out mages. He starts with a passive that drains mana whenever he hits a mage, and also has a dispelling spell and an ability that is basically Mana Clash with a different name. What i've found to be effective is to, in the tactics menu, have Alastair focus down any mages in sight automatically (unless you're the type to micromanage every single action). With his high health and magic resistance, he can usually take care of himself so long as you keep an eye on him.

Hope this helps!
