Whenever a prepared card with the Fate icon is discarded for any reason (the four-card limit, damage or fear, paying a cost), including a title with a Fate icon, Gandalf gains inspiration. It resolves right after the discard, still inside the same test window. His ability is a trigger, not a cost, so you can't discard a card voluntarily just to set it off.
