Prospero made Ariel create the tempest that wrecks the ship. Prospero used his magic to rescue Ariel and made the spirit swear to serve him for a limited amount of time. One of them, Ariel, had been imprisoned in a tree trunk by Caliban's mother, the witch Sycorax, who then died. It turns out there are also spirits on the island.
