Spellbinder plot
On a school field trip in the Blue Mountains, an accident lands Paul in a parallel world. The world is similar to ours, but more primitive in nature. Paul tries to survive as best he can in this new world, in which the primitive population appears to be ruled by so-called Spellbinders. These Spellbinders have discovered how to generate and manipulate static electricity. This electricity is the main source of energy and is stored in orange crystals, a kind of batteries. They use this to pretend to be magicians. In particular, the Spellbinder Ashka, who secretly plans a coup against her masters, the regents, is very interested in Paul and his world. She tries to get her hands on stronger weapons and technology through Paul in order to take over power.
