Torkel's Failure
From Andrew Gronosky's Ars Magica Site
Date: Spring 1184
Torkel was apprenticed to a Flambeau storm-witch in the covenant of Stormwatch in Cumbria (the northwest of England). His Wizard's Gauntlet was to venture into a faerie forest and retrieve the most valuable thing he found there. Unfortunately he got into a magical duel with the faerie lord of the forest and lost. His freedom and Gift were forfeit.
