Your logline is cut-and-paste from IMDB, right? ?Well, actually, it’s a blurb, not a logline. ?Blurbs (or teasers) are targeted at movie viewers. ?Loglines are targeted a movie makers.? Two distinct markets with different requirements. ? Consequently, a logline often frame a story differently than a blurb.
It’s worth discussing further as a separate logline for the “Dead Poets Society” movie posted under “Classics”. ?(Go for it.)

Hi Gstar
To clarify I misspelt held as healed so what I meant was “?held against his will?”.
Regarding the magic power, what I meant was that the magical element doesn’t relate to the theme, subject matter or character and therefore feels like an “add on” element. In good fantasy stories magic powers are normally integrated into the fabric of the character as a necessity of their existence for example; Gandalf is a wizard – no magic power no Gandalf, Luke is the son of the most powerful Jedi in that galaxy (soon to fight his father) – no magic power no Jedi Luke and E.T is an alien from outer space – no magic power and he’s just a strange looking turtle man. Super hero stories differ as they often dwell on the origin story of the characters, and as a result produce entire films based on these backstories to explain the super powers.
Your story has already got high stakes and clear obstacles, therefore I don’t see the need for magic powers. however if you do insist on including them, perhaps best to change the character to a local tribe’s shaman, or something to that effect, so as to make the magic called for by the character’s very nature.
