The trailer provides a glimpse into the magical world where things are not always what they seem. The trailer starts with a group of kids attending a magical summer camp known as Sage Academy, where they learn to harness their magical abilities.

Nory struggles with her powers and often uncontrollably transforms into different creatures, causing chaos and confusion.

Reina s ability to expertly harness the power of fire lands her at the top of her class of Flares, but Nory s wonky magic and proclivity for turning into a Dritten a half-kitten, half-dragon lands her in a class for those with defective, Upside-Down Magic, otherwise known as UDM.
Nory struggles with her powers and often uncontrollably transforms into different creatures, causing chaos and confusion. She is joined by her best friend, Reina Carvajal, portrayed by Siena Agudong, who has the ability to manipulate fire but fears losing control.
