"I have two additions: first, that the apprentice is accompanied into the Fade by someone senior, and it is a high-level manner of training and not a test of a child's strength by throwing them to the wolves. Second, that it's not called a Harrowing, or in any way designed or intended to put mages through terror or pain, or preemptively punish them for sins they may never commit. It's a training exercise, not a circus. That is a practice I would find useful and uncruel. In fact, I'd be happy to be the first subject myself."
