When [[Triss Merigold/Netflix series|Triss]] claimed that Nilfgaard also forced mages into servitude and practice black magic, Fringilla responded that they believed in shared sacrifice and that there was no such thing as dark or light magic. Fringilla believed that in taking Cintra, they had a chance of saving the continent. If the Northern mages won't take sides, Fringilla asked that they at least stay out her way.

Instead of Nilfgaard, she went to a prized kingdom and did "fuck all for decades." She helped murderers and rapists keep their crown. If given an option, she'd vote to burn it all down. Tissaia wagered that Cintra was scared and suggested that they lend a hand. The mages put it to a vote.

Fringilla and Cahir watched from the top of the hill as their men were taken out by the brotherhood. They were forced to move to the other front.

Fringilla Vigo, a character in the Witcher series, is a Nilfgaardian sorceress known for her mastery of illusion magic. Her significance as a 'conduit of chaos' stems from her refusal to serve her country unquestioningly or face imprisonment. Instead, she joined the Lodge of Sorceresses, a group that opposed the dictates of kings and emperors. This bold move, however, left her living in fear of her ties to the subversive organization being discovered, which could lead to her swift execution by the emperor. Her character adds a layer of intrigue and suspense to the series, as she navigates the dangerous political landscape while harnessing her magical abilities.

This is a process where spells, like the one cast by Artorius Vigo, can degenerate, change, and grow wild over time. This can lead to unpredictable and aggressive behavior in magical beings, creating a hazardous environment for those involved. Fringilla Vigo, a mistress of magic, would have been well aware of these dangers, especially given her involvement in the Lodge of Sorceresses, an organization known for standing up to the dictates of kings and emperors.

She has gathered them for a trial. Before each of them sits a flower and a stone. They are to lift the stone without touching it. Fringilla is the first initiate to lift the stone, however, as demonstrated, magic comes at a price. Only seconds after Fringilla lifts the stone does her hand rapidly age and shrivel up. There is a give and take with magic, as Tiassai demonstrates by lifting the stone, but with the flowers in hand to represent what is taken as they grow old and die. The other initiates follow her lead, with the exception of Yennefer, who is unable to move the stone at all.

Several weeks have passed since their trial with the flowers and stone. The initiates are taken to Tor Lara to bottle lightning. It's the most potent place on the continent. Off limits to everyone except to the Brotherhood of Sorcerers. This latest trial is to test their ability to control the ultimate expression of chaos. Fringilla raises her bottle captures the lightning.[1]

Fringilla is one of several initiates to be officially initiated into the Brotherhood.

Later, she accompanies King Virfuril at an Aretuzan ball, until Yennefer arrives completely transformed. King Virfuril quickly discards Fringilla in favor of Yennefer, and the two dance center floor.
