Riana arranges it so that Paul can live and work in her village, but he finds the work in the fields unnecessarily difficult. Riana explains that things must be done according to the Spellbinders' instructions. Paul becomes skeptical about the Spellbinders' powers and soon realizes that they are using science, not magic,to appear powerful. The power suits that they wear have some kind of electrical energy. Paul tries to explain to the local Spellbinder, Gryvon, that he is from another world. He shows him things he has brought from his world and asks for some help to get home, but Gryvon accuses him of breaking Spellbinder law. Paul gets an opportunity to show off his unique talents by making fireworks to save the village from ravaging Marauders, but Gryvon takes him away to be judged.

Riana and her parents protect Paul from the inquisitive Summoner by telling him that Paul is Riana's cousin. Paul attracts the attention of Gryvon, the Summoner's son and apprentice, when he creates some labour-saving devices while working in the fields with Riana, and again when he saves the life of Riana's little brother who nearly drowns. Picking up a Spellbinder broadcast on his radio, Paul wants to observe the Spellbinders when they cast a 'powerful spell' to bring an end to a blight affecting the villagers' crops. When he sees a Spellbinder flying ship spraying the crops, Paul tries to explain to Riana that the Spellbinders aren't magicians - they are using science. Hoping the Spellbinders knowledge of science can help him get home, Paul explains to Gryvon that he is from another world and asks to be taken to the Spellbinders' castle to ask for their help. Unfortunately, Gryvon doesn't believe him. Later, when the village is attacked by Marauders, Paul scares them off using fireworks he created to demonstrate his knowledge of science to Gryvon. For using his 'magic', Paul is imprisoned. Paul wants to prove he's actually from another world by showing off his video camera but Riana's little sister has taken the tape. Locked up, Paul sees an opportunity to plead his case directly to the Spellbinders as he wanted but doesn't anticipate being banished to the wastelands. Meanwhile, Katrina believes that Paul has somehow been pulled into another dimension. Despite having a hard time convincing anyone else of her theory, she is determined to prove it to be true.
