Episode Summary
Two years of lessons turn the young mage into a prodigy who can outcast his own tutor, while his father insists on sword practice he is far too small to enjoy. The real test, though, is not a spell but a front door: the boy's old-life dread of going outside returns, and it takes his teacher, a patient horse and a very large rainstorm to walk him through it before she leaves to see the world.
