Test

The Test was a ritual of passage drow mages were subjected to.
==Society==
Drow who wanted to change the society under Lolth and her clergy were considered a danger, especially if they challenged the authority of the goddess and her clerics. Drow mages were generally suspected of belonging to this group and were subjected to the Test.
Non-mages were also often subjected to this test if they reached a sufficient degree of strength. Priestesses could also be subjected to it but they could hope for an immediate reward in the form of promotion on passing.
==Procedure==
Drow mages who reached a certain level of power were abducted and then mind-probed while under a test of loyalty. Sometimes, the test was done by Lolth herself in the Demonweb Pits after the subject was transported to the abyssal layer.
===Results===
Mages could die from the Test before the result was known. Those who failed were turned into driders.
