| Synopsis | It is a little-known fact that wizards, witches are not born with the skills of their trade. They must learn them. But over the years magical powers wane and need to be re-energised at the appropriate seats of learning. At least that is the conclusion of Margolin the Wizard and Oksana the Witch, both of whom have hit rock bottom, career-wise. Demand for their spell-casting talents is currently non-existent. They must return to their old school, their old teacher and, most importantly, the energy source that is the Sacred Crystal of Galloran. Easier said than done as they discover that the Sacred Crystal has been transported across a great ocean and only Oksana's less than reliable broomstick is available to help them to catch up with it. |
