The Beginning

Synopsis Ayesa (Carmina Villaroel) and Garam (Zoren Legaspi) escaped from Saladin, the world of wizardry where only men are allowed to practice magic. The couple decided to live with the mortals thinking that it was far enough to be discovered by the "salamankas" (magicians). But they were wrong. Meanwhile, in Saladin, Markadam, who embraced black magic, tried to escape from the abyss of the ocean. The elders of the magic land presumed that it was Ayesa and Garam who tried to help Markadam to escape. The elders then summoned the "Umbras" (nymphs) to hunt Ayesa and Garam. The Umbras succeeded.

Magic is in the Air

Majika - the latest tele-fantasy series being offered by GMA7 looks promising with a star-studded cast headed by Angel Locsin (Mulawin, Darna) and Dennis Trillo (Mulawin, Darna, Etheria). Based on teasers, the new series combines storylines from Narnja and Harry Potter. Compared to Encantadia and Etheria, this new series will be less violent for it targets a younger audience. So far, the costumes are good but not as impressive as those of Encantadia/Etheria. The hair make-up of Eddie Garcia and Eddie Gutierrez needs improvement because it's very obvious that they are wearing fake hair. Their long hair should look like its really growing from their head. They should take note of the hair of Legolas (Orlando Bloom) in Lord of the Rings. Legolas' hair looked credible with Orlando Bloom. Let's wait and see how this new TV series will hit the ratings and how it will fair with Encantadia/Etheria.
