Summary[]
A magical mirror is stolen from a local museum and Demona uses it to summon the mischievous trickster, Puck. She wishes the human, Elisa, no longer existed, but this ends up turing her into a gargoyle. She then wishes for Puck to remove the humans from Manhattan. However, she sees he turned everyone into a gargoyle. She then wishes for him to undo his mistake, but this turns the Manhattan Clan into humans. A series of events leads to Puck's mischief being undone (humans are turned back into gargoyles and vise versa) and him granting Demona human form during daylight, much to her displeasure.
