Magica Story

It has been a thousand years since the once powerful

planet of Blessing lost its life-giving two suns, and

countless millennia since the days of the great

magicians. An expedition of alien voyagers came upon

the now ice-covered sphere, drawn there by an

unexplained lone beacon far below the miles of frozen

moisture, they unlocked a written history of Blessing

from its almost undiscovered tomb. So begins the story

of Magica.

It was a time of celebration. The Book of Magica and

the wizards who had used its spells so wisely for the

good of the people were being honored in all the great

cities of the world. There was however an exception.

Where good thrives, evil survives and evil has plans

for survival.

The celebration of thanks and prosperity would signal

the forces of Evilsyde to begin the attack and

ultimate capture and destruction of Magica. The spells

from the Book would be used to turn all of those

unwilling to join Evilsyde into statues of stone and

send their spirits to Otherworld, where they would

eventually be assimilated into the energy needed to

drive Evilsyde, and maintain its power without the

necessity of the Book and its incantations forever.

Defenses were naturally relaxed during the festive

preparations and although the battle was well-fought

by both factions, the minions of the dark prevailed.

Their assault was well-planned and executed to a

fault. After overwhelming their initial opposition,

they pushed on to the sacred ground upon which the

Book of Magica rested. They possessed a much weaker

form of magic themselves, and although it would be

normally quite useless against the strength of Magica,

the inability of the Wizards to gather themselves

together in time, coupled with the perfect timing and

determination of the attackers, spelled doom for the

Book and its followers.

The leader of the insurrection was the high priest and

executioner known as Shadowcast. His presence could

make the naughtiest of children become obedient
