One day, when Callum acts up in school, Master Rufus explains why he chose him. As Callum bonds with Aaron and Tamara, he discovers that they feel the same way he does-they don’t know why they’ve been picked, and they don’t want to be there. His methods are strange and challenging-for example, he makes them separate individual grains of sand, which teaches them focus and determination. Master Rufus doesn’t train his apprentices the way the other mages do. At the Magisterium, however, no one cares about his limp-it’s his magic that matters.
His limp made him self-conscious around kids his own age. Callum’s nervous sharing a room with anyone, because he doesn’t have many friends back home. When Callum arrives, he shares a suite with Aaron and Tamara, because apprentices are expected to be roommates. The Magisterium is underground so that its location is always kept secret. Master Rufus selects two other students, Aaron and Tamara, and ushers them into the school. No one can refuse an offer of a place at the Magisterium, so he must stay. Callum can’t believe he’s been selected, and he’s scared to disappoint his father who expects him home. However, he’s chosen by a mage called Master Rufus to be an apprentice. He deliberately tries to fail so he can put magic behind him forever. His father warns him that, while he can’t refuse the invitation, he also can’t get accepted there.Ĭallum shows up for the tests at the Magisterium, but he doesn’t put any effort in. However, Callum’s not sure about going to the school, because he knows how dangerous magic can be. Both his mother and father attended the school, and it’s where they met. One day, Callum receives an invitation to apply to the Magisterium, which is a school for young mages. Callum suffers a serious leg injury, and he has a lifelong limp because of it. His father finds him and keeps him safe, but his mother dies. Callum’s only a baby at the time, but he survives a gruesome attack on his coven. The book opens during one such conflict-the Third Mage War. His family believes that magic is evil because of the wars it causes.
