If you aren't familiar with the Dragon Age games, then you won't know what the Dalish are.

The Dalish are elves, who live in clans in the forest. (More info: http://dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/Dalish )

:::


Starting idea: Asha lives in a Dalish encampment, aspiring to become a mage. She discovers shape shifting in one of the keepers old books, and experiments. Thinking she would be Halla as her mother is her clans Halla keeper , she starts the long process of learning, but is surprised when all attempts fail and she starts showing signs of a wolf instead.

Eventually she comes to the realization that her form will be wolf and starts studying them. This is where she starts seeing the man more, and often feels like she is being watched. Until one day, he speaks.

More: Asha, my dalish mage, is living in her camp and something happens (I'm not certain yet) but she may end up killing someone or something with her accidental magic. They banish her and Talehn leaves too, to offer support and safety. While she's looking for a place stay, her magic keeps advancing without her control and she hurts Talehn but not badly. So they try to look for a place where she can get help.

She has to learn how to control her magic, while at the same time try to understand it.
I need ideas to base on top of that.
I'm thinking that her trying to transform into an animal overwhelms her and it makes all her magic dodgy.

Could I please have some constructive criticism and/or ideas to expand upon?

You walk into this room at your own risk, because it leads to the future, not a future that will be but one that might be. This is not a new world, it is simply an extension of what began in the old one. It has patterned itself after every dictator who has ever planted the ripping imprint of a boot on the pages of history since the beginning of time. It has refinements, technological advances, and a more sophisticated approach to the destruction of human freedom. But like every one of the super states that preceded it, it has one iron rule: logic is an enemy and truth is a menace.
