Description

While digging in the palace gardens outside the Crystal Castle, Princess Adora makes an amazing discovery: She uncovers a gold and silver chest, filled with mysterious beauty treasures, including an interesting hinged conical hand mirror, and a ridiculous looking winged, horned headdress. Adora’s friends Glimmer and Castaspella are dazzled and grateful at the princess’ find, but a suspicious Castaspella, knowing of Catra’s jealous lust for anything that belongs to Adora, secretly places a curse on the mirror. Sure enough, the chest soon turns up missing, and the sneaky she-cat is the culprit. Stealing back to her cottage in the Dark Forest with her ill-gotten goodies, Catra intends to enslave all Etheria with her beauty, enhanced by these fabulous relics. But when she gazes into the hexed mirror, she receives a horrible shock: the image staring back at her is that of a twisted, shriveled hag! Meanwhile, Kowl has discovered the treasures have vanished. This (apparently) is a task for She-Ra. Using her staff, Glimmer quickly guides the band to Catra’s cottage, where they find the devastated feline, spellbound and practically catatonic at the loss of her youth and beauty. When a magical bolt from the Sword of Protection has no effect, the princess of power realizes that even stronger sorcery is at work here. Castaspella confesses, and at She-Ra’s urging, removes the curse. Catra transforms into her cat form and disappears into the forest. A repentant Castaspella learns the lesson that playing tricks on others can have dire consequences, and vows to think twice before again using her magic in anger.
