Trial by Fire is a scenario for Ars Magica Revised Edition, written by Atlas Games when Ars Magica was still being published by Lion Rampant.
Synopsis
The magi learn of a powerful dragon who is prophesied to attack a town where the covenant has friends or business interests. They have three days to prepare. Without giving away any spoilers, it's safe to say that fighting the dragon is not the only option.

FAQ Rating: ** (7 reviews; 2 *, 4 **, 1 ***, 0 ****)
- Offered the players few choices and fewer ways to interact with the story.
- A rather boring adventure. It looked like an evening's play to me. The scant notes on Flanders make it barely worthwhile.
- A rather linear plot.
- Interesting, but only for experienced players with very powerful Magi. May end in a AD&D munchkin style.
- Has a relatively accurate description of a Flemish trading town. May be a little over a beginning magus's abilities.
