The Hex spell has driven a variety of supernatural beings—from harmless woodland spirits to darker entities—into her small town. Now the Spellorium, a place where magic is practiced and taught, is busier than ever as it accommodates the sudden influx of these strange visitors, some friendly, some mischievous.
