This post contains spoilers for visiting the library in Ch. 9 during the fire.
Roger seemed to have a lot of faith in Indra Frost, and her writings and the fact that she embedded a spell in her book to save the library in Timecrest paint her as a pretty compassionate and kind person. Whether or not it’s ‘cheating’ to use human technology didn’t appear to matter to her -- she probably didn’t care about human prejudice and strengthened her magic using human stuff anyway.
So now we’ve got a strong water mage with a generous heart, who writes tomes and shares her knowledge in the hopes that others will trust themselves and learn water magic. And where in Alyncia needs water magic the most?
Windsorhowl.
which we know from Roger’s first Memory Oracle. This doesn’t necessarily confirm that she went to Windsorhowl, but it’s a sign.
Windsorhowl is also incredibly dry, making it near impossible to learn water magic there, and even more -- Roger says in Ch. 8 “water mages who come here end up completely losing their abilities.”
So I think she went to Windsorhowl, either to teach others water magic or to provide water, but ended up losing her magic instead. When the time for her trial came around, she wouldn’t have been able to prove anything because she could no longer cast magic.
Also: does anyone know when exactly her trial took place? Or how old Roger was in the first Memory Oracle? I'm getting the impression that Roger's Memory Oracle took place first, and that Indra's trial was a few years before the start of the story, but I can't really confirm it with what I know so far.
The only confirmed things about Indra’s timeline I’ve found so far is that she’s been a water mage and writing books for at least 14 years ( in Roger’s first Memory Oracle). We don’t know when exactly she gained the title of Master, when her trial took place, or how soon the rumors started about her.
(I want to make a complete timeline and pin down the order of events).
