Spellbinder

While attending a high school science camp, Paul Reynolds and his best friend Alex plan to pull a prank on fellow students Katrina and Lisa. Afterwards, a strange electrical surge opens a strange electrical doorway that transports Paul into a strange land.

While his classmates and the police are searching for him, Paul is trying to come to terms with his new and primitive surroundings. He has met a girl, Riana, but she is suspicious of his foreign ways and fears he is evil. She leaves him to his own devices, and his strange ways offend the people of this new world, particularly the powerful Spellbinders.

Paul manages to convince a frightened Riana that he is from another world. On the other side the police are still looking for Paul and, fearing the danger of an electrical surge, they knock down the pillars which are feeding the surge - destroying Paul's chances of returning home. Riana takes Paul back to her village.

Riana arranges it so that Paul can live and work in her village under the guise of being her cousin. Paul gets an opportunity to show off his unique talents by making fireworks to save the village from ravaging Marauders. Paul is accused of breaking Spellbinder law and Gryvon takes him away to be judged.

Paul is brought before the Council of Regents in the Spellbinders' castle and is found guilty of stealing an Eyestone. He is banished to the wastelands for breaking Spellbinder law. Meanwhile, Paul's family, friends and the police are still desperately looking for him back in his own world. One girl, Katrina, is convinced he has gone into a parallel universe but no one will believe her.

Ashka and Gryvon realize the potential of Paul's fireworks, and how powerful they would be if they knew how to make them. Katrina attempts to convince Paul's father that Paul is in a parallel world.

Gryvon takes Paul to an unused part of the castle and insists he teach him how to make gunpowder. However, Paul has grown suspicious of Gryvon and Ashka and gives them false instructions so their gunpowder won't work. Back in Paul's world, Alex and Katrina come up with a plan to get back up to the cave where Paul disappeared.

Paul and his rescuers are heading for the cave where he entered this new world. Katrina and Alex make radio contact with the new world, see energy rippling around the cave, and get vague glimpses of figures in the doorway. However, Paul's attempts to pass back into his world are thwarted by Ashka and Gryvon. Paul flees to a nearby village only to be attacked by Marauders.

Paul, Riana and Correon attempt to leave the labyrinth to save Correon from being banished to the wastelands by the Marauders. Paul's friends back home, Alex and Katrina, try again to make radio contact with Paul. They set up a two-way radio and make contact through Ashka's Eyestone.

Correon returns to the Spellbinder castle and accuses Ashka of lying, which leads her to challenge him to a contest using powersuits. Gryvon rigs the challenge so that Correon loses. As a result Correon gets banished to the wastelands.

Ashka and Gryvon search for Paul and Riana. Alex and Katrina plan to help Paul return home. Paul and Riana make their way to Riana's village to get a chain to help them open the doorway to Paul's world. Correon attempts to survive in the wastelands.

Paul manages to open the doorway into his world, but unknown to him, Ashka is hiding, waiting for an opportunity to catch him. There is a struggle between Ashka and Paul at the mouth of the cave. Riana arrives and distracts Ashka so Paul is able to pass into his world. He turns back to see Riana threatened by Ashka, so he grabs her and drags her into his world.

While Riana is trapped in Paul's world, Paul is adamant that Katrina and Alex keep the Spellbinders' world a secret. After taking a train, Riana gets lost in the city. Paul is taken in by the police and reunited with his father and sister. Bron runs away from Clayhill to evade Ashka and Gryvon, who are trying to get Paul's camera.

Paul and Alex repair the power suit to try and prove Paul's story to Brian. Paul puts it on and energizes it. Paul realizes that the suit has some unexpected effects in this world. In the Spellbinder world, Ashka burns Riana's house and threatens to burn down Clayhill if Bron is not found.

Paul hides Riana just before Brian comes in to take Paul and Christine to school. Alone, Riana is amazed, amused and frightened by the appliances and amenities of Paul's house. When Paul returns home he finds Riana has made a huge mess. Suddenly, Christine returns home.

Correon, Bron, Zander and Arla travel to the Spellbinder's castle to show Paul's videotape to the Regents. Paul receives a radio message from Correon telling him that the Summoning Tower has been repaired and Riana can return home. Paul and Alex discover that the power suit is gone.

Paul and Alex race to Katrina's house just as she gets the suit working. They get the suit back. Riana evades the police and finds shelter with Josie and Ben. Paul and Riana search for Riana.

Paul convinces Brian that he is going fishing for the weekend with Alex and his father, when he is really planning on going back to the Spellbinder's world with Riana. Paul starts filming Riana's world so that he will have some proof for Brian and Katrina. Gryvon creates a distraction so Ashka can steal Correon's power suit. Riana spots her and soon follows.

Paul finds and rescues Riana, but leaves the video camera behind. Ashka flees and Correon calls for flying ships to search for her. With Gryvon's help, she steals an Eyestone, opens the doorway and enters Paul's world. Disturbing news reports of strange events make him realize that a Spellbinder is visiting his world.
