Visionaries: Knights of the Magical Light - Season 1 (1987)

Feryl is almost captured when the Capture Chariot crashes while he is trying to help Leoric stop a pirate raid. Feeling overshadowed by the other Spectral Knights, he chooses to leave their ranks. When one of his spies hears this, Darkstorm goes with Mortredd to seek his services. Feryl refuses and fights them off before they can capture and force him, but Darkstorm has Cravex have the Spider of Fear of his staff bite Leoric to make him suffer a nightmare he takes as an omen that the Darkling Lords have seized Feryl. Leoric runs into a trap and is captured, has his ...

Rather than do another favor for Merklyn in exchange for a power-staff recharge, Darkstorm seeks out the ancient witch Heskedor for a curse to place on Leoric. He is given a potion that will prevent Leoric from turning from a lion back into a man - permanently, if it isn't reversed by third sunset on the same day. The Darkling Lords run the Dagger Assault disguised as an animal through a village whose inhabitants are superstitious against all magic and, when Leoric is called to help, spray him. It also turns him from blue to red and Darkstorm convinces the people that...

Reluctant as always to see Merklynn to recharge his power staff and be ordered to do something in return, Mortredd asks Falkama how to defeat him. Reekon succeeds in getting the magic book the Omnitopogram and the Darkling Lords collect a plant which will subdue Merklynn after getting him away from his shrine which protects him. They allow the Spectral Knights to capture them and, when Merklynn appears to free them from the factory again, Darkstorm strips him of his power, steals the orb, and subdues Falkama. After banishing the wizards to a prison they cannot escape,...

Reekon spies on the Spectral Knights in lizard form so hears which of the Darkling Lords' power-staffs they consider the worst challenges. After the Spectral Knights unsuccessfully request Merklynn to give them something to use against Darkstorm's decay and the Bearer of Knowledge tells Arzon of the Eternal Spring which would do just this, Reekon goes back to the Darkling Lords and tells them that this is their weapon that most troubles Leoric, among others. As the Spectral Knights travel to the spring, the Darkling Lords attack and force the others away from Leoric, ...

Reekon and Mortredd are seen in the Dagger Assault by a man of Khemir, a ruined city that relied on robot slaves and whose people have never worked for themselves and are not eager to start. Arzon and Feryl see this but Reekon tricks the Khemirites into attacking them, so on their way to tell the other Spectral Knights the Capture Chariot is damaged and Arzon injured. The Darkling Lords promise to supply the Khemirites with slaves in exchange for their allegiance, and Darkstorm has a group disguised as poor wanderers enter the Spectral Knights' castle to let them in. ...

Cryotek abruptly suffers a disease Fletchen can't heal. When they try to leave to seek Merklynn's help, Ectar and Feryl's vehicles don't respond to them then Feryl sickens, Galadria catches it, and Leoric's power staff won't work. Fletchen tells Leoric that those without magical powers are immune, so he warns Witterquick and Arzon away and has them go to Merklynn. Lexor is already there with Cindarr since the Darkling Lords are also suffering, and blames him. Merklynn reveals that the illness will eventually kill all who use magic, and finding a dragon's claw and ...

Merklynn persuades the Spectral Knights to capture three of the wizards who escaped the Wizards' Jail after Darkstorm's betrayal - Falkama, Wizasquizar, and the possibly-good Bogavus - before one of them stumbles upon the Lost Shrine and gains extreme power. They scour the Anarchy Zone as recommended, and Ectar uses his police-officer skills to interrogate a former criminal dwarf into telling him how to find the trio. They succeed in locating each, but Reekon sees them on their return and the Darkling Lords sabotage their vehicles and attack. They release Wizasquizar ...

Though the Spectral Knights have insisted they don't want pay for returning the wizards, Merklynn gives them a crystal which will alert them to any foe's approach. But, after leading an attack which fails because of it, Darkstorm discovers that it can't detect anyone wearing the Cloak of Concealment. After getting it from a carnivorous plant in exchange for a shipment of meat, the Darkling Lords have Reekon don the jacket and enter on a tour of the Spectral Knights' council chamber where it is kept, and he is able to steal it. Ectar, who as a detective caught Reekon ...

Two knights and two lords stumble upon the long buried tomb of the Sun Imps. Merklynn warns the Visionaries not to open it but Lexor tricks Cindarr into unleashing the Destruction spell. After their escape, the Imps wreak havoc all across Prysmos, but only during daylight. The Spectral Knights and Darkling Lords are forced to work together to catch each Imp in a different way.

After an accident dancing with Galadria and misunderstanding some well-meaning remarks from her, Ectar, and Witterquick at a feast, Cryotek jumps at the chance to help Arzon and Feryl remove some debris from an eagle's nest. The Darkling Lords, responsible for the slabs' falling in target practice, attack on return, and capture Cryotek and start to remove his polar-bear totem. He manages to drag Cravex into the Magical Dungeon with him partway through, and the Darkling Lords try to undo the process. When Cryotek escapes, he steals Cindarr's staff - and, as Galadria ...
