To regain his status in the high ranks of the order after a shameful ban, an arrogant, yet talented sorcerer sets off to hunt one of the most vicious rebels in the realm.
I suggest that "a member of the ruling forces"? isn't personal enough.

I suggest that “a member of the ruling forces”? isn’t personal enough. But it’s your story.
Also, I suggest the logline should indicate that? initially it’s an unfair fight in favor of the antagonist.? That is, the outlaw has to be more than vicious, he has to possess some? sorcerer-like powers and skills?of his own, ?that are even more potent than those sorcerer.? The odds must overwhelmingly be against the sorcerer.?? Otherwise, there’s no meaningful suspense.
Again, hearkening back to the template of the Star Wars saga:? Luke (and now Rey in the reboot of the franchise) initially go up against villains far more skilled in the use of the Force than they are.?? They must learn under duress — fast.
I don’t get that sense that the odds are overwhelmingly against the sorcerer.? The outlaw may be vicious? – but that doesn’t mean he has greater powers to prevail against those of the sorcerer.? My sense is that the odds? seem to be initially in favor of the sorcerer.? So what is the factor in the fight that creates suspense?

A logline is targeted to movie producers. ?Taglines and blurbs are targeted to movie viewers. They are two different market audiences with two different set of interests.

A logline is targeted to movie producers. ?Taglines and blurbs are targeted to movie viewers. They are two different market audiences with two different set of interests.
The goal of ?tagline or blurb is to induce a viewer to lay down US$10 (and more) and invest 2 hrs of time in the finished film. ?And offer an expectation that she will come away with a satisfactory viewing experience.
The goal of a logline is to induce a movie producer to lay down millions of dollars and invest months ?of time in making the film. ?And offer an expectation that the movie producer will come away with a profit.
In order to reel in a ?movie producer, get him to even read the script, you have to bait the hook with a logline that gives him (or her) a clearer indication of what the story is about than is necessary for a movie viewer. So:
Who is the protagonist and what is her character flaw? ? Who is the antagonist? (Big, big casting questions.)
What does the protagonist NEED to accomplish — what is her objective goal? (Indicates the genre)
What are the stakes? ?What does she stand to gain if she succeeds, stands to lose if she fails? (Is it something that ?can engage an ?audience’s emotional investment in the protagonist’s struggle? IOW: can this be parlayed into a franchise?)
