That sounds a bit funny since Dragon Age was Bioware's spiritual successor to Baldur's Gate, which was just AD&D/2e adapted digitally. Going from D&D to Bioware's homebrew system and then back to a newer D&D seems like a lot of steps.

Oh, and you can see the steps. Bioware condensed the mental stats into cunning, giving them space to add magic and willpower. Then the RPG needed to add two new stats just to keep cunning from being too bloated.

Then they made Fantasy Age, which is the Dragon Age RPG without Dragon Age, and they immediately got rid of the magic stat.
