Perhaps his greatest feat was his crucial role in the restoration of magic to England, which led to his rescue of Arabella. During this period, he again fought for the Army, and also delved deep into the study of magic's relationship with insanity in an attempt to rescue his wife Arabella Strange who had been abducted into Faerie. When his powers matured, he left Norrell's tutelage, and the two became rivals of sorts. As a young magician, he performed numerous feats, including the summoning of Maria Absalom, various services for the Army during the war with Napoleon, and the defense of the King against a fairy kidnap attempt. He was the pupil of Gilbert Norrell, who, along with Strange, restored the practice of English magic after an absence of more than two centuries. Jonathan Strange was the second magician of the Revival of English Magic.
