A wizard named Merklynn grants magical powers and animal totems to 14 warriors who survive a trial on Iron Mountain, dividing them into the heroic Spectral Knights, led by Leoric, and the evil Darkling Lords, led by Darkstorm. The series follows their conflict as they use their new powers for good and evil.

The world: The show is set on Prysmos, a planet with 7,000 years of advanced technology that suddenly collapses when its three suns shift, causing a power outage and a return to a more medieval-style society.

The conflict: The story is a classic good versus evil struggle between the Spectral Knights, led by the noble prince Leoric, and the Darkling Lords, an evil faction led by Darkstorm.

The magic: The wizard Merklynn gives the warriors the ability to transform into animal totems that represent their personalities. They also wield staffs that grant them additional powers, which are activated by reciting a specific spell or poem.
