For example, for me it is in the Faithful and the Fallen by John Gwinn. Corban is being taught magic, and we get a glimpse of his raw power at one stage. But then his lessons just stop and he never learns it and it’s not even mentioned again beyond a brief statement about how a death has made the woman teaching him too sad to continue.
Faithful and the Fallen is probably in my top 10, but I have never understood why Gwynne made that choice and don’t like it.
