MAGICA - Who Is Who?

Aliens - the visitors, who can't stop interrupting and thereby contribute to the nice, surrealistic atmosphere.

Annica - well, women are a bit neglected in this epos... that's why I think it's a pity that "Annica’s Song" can only be found on the Japanese version.

Astoroth - “Grand Duke of Hell” - only mentioned briefly, but doesn't really appear in person - it doesn't come that far... although quite some turns in the story of MAGICA would make a good base for really cruel "special effects" - yeah, the dream of a full-length feature film in which Ronnie sings most of the time has something in it - oh, I've just been told that such a thing is called "music video" - oh well...

Blessing - what a nice name for a planet, sounds like a place where I could really feel good...!

Challis - for the time being, a very vehement youth who's going to save Blessing... and totally incidentally Annica's ("saintly child", eh? LOL!) and Eriel's son - which should clarify his moral qualification for the job - yes, yes, that's the stuff heroes are made of...

Eriel - he's the wise guardian of the book of spells, who, however, sinks too deep into meditation to recognize the threatening disaster in time...

Evilsyde - the Evil, I suppose... neither my dictionary nor my friends have a good explanation to offer, so let's leave it at that - if someone supposes to know more, I strongly invite him/her to send me the details per e-mail, so that I can publish them here.

MAGICA - the book of spells, the magical formulas of which are used by the sages for the welfare and shelter of the population of Blessing.

Sanasha Gorath Sollis Arcanna - spell that's supposed to put Evil back in its place. Unfortunately, the magic formula works only after three days - and in three days a lot of disaster can happen...

Shadowcast - the devilish impersonation of Evil, can be seen in full splendor on the CD cover. Surely nobody I'd like to meet in the shadows... nor in bright light, incidentally...

although: in the story of MAGICA it's mentioned that even the most rebellious child becomes obedient in his presence - well, THIS is THE DREAM for all parents, and since I have three small children, I could make good use of Shadowcast now and then...
