To investigate properly, they enlist the help of Max, Phoebe’s friend, for his interest in electricity. This lead has Phoebe and Dakota wondering if Voltina has come to their town and is causing the power outage. However, summoning storms requires large quantities of magic and as such uses up much of the ambient magic. To enable her lightning habit, Voltina learned magic to summon storms. As Phoebe and Dakota bicker, Marigold and the goblins discuss a goblin legend where a dragon named Voltina swallowed lighting.

The loss of magic is affecting them as well. In the beginning stages of investigation, they encounter Dakota, once friend and now tormentor of Phoebe, carried on a sedan chair by part of her goblin retinue.

When the power cuts out in the town, Marigold suspects that there is a correlation between the loss of magic and the outage. She can no longer summon her Shield of Boringness and the humans around her, who normally do not detect a unicorn in their midst, are stunned by her magnificence. The Magic Storm begins with freezing rain and Marigold’s realization that magic has gone missing. Their bond and escapades have many people comparing the duo to Calvin and Hobbes, and I agree. Together they tackle the mundane, school, to adventure, like when they solve mysteries as the Phoebegold Detective Agency.
