Cling not to the past, look towards the future.

If I had a mage character who lost their power, I would roleplay every day doing various things to gain them back and rediscover magic. I would talk to stones, set myself on fire, take salt baths in the moonlight, eat vulcanic ash, drink elixirs and chant spells like a mad man, anything but the last...

I fully and wholeheartedly agree with Flux. If absense of magic ruins your character's ability to defend themselves, perhaps investing time into making friends was more important than training spells. We reap what we sow.
