My mage, (one of the experienced players), has already begun discussing with me his chance to 'take the test' as it were. I've already got a few ideas penciled down but what with fleshing out my campaign whilst running our current sessions and the humdrum of 'normal life' I'm a bit tied up and was wondering, (and would be very appreciative), if any of you fine folk could conjure up some exciting and thought provoking ideas and situations that would give the mage something to think about during this 'life changing' experience. Don't worry about levels etc.., just dump any ideas you might have in here and I'll sift through it later. Many thanks.

Learn also of his ambitions, and weigh these on what you feel to be the Conclave's objectives. If they run counter, make sure that the Test displays this in subtle but unmistakable ways. Another of the great staples of the Test is the betrayal of someone dear to the subject.
