Visionaries: Knights of the Magical Light

 In the desolate realm of Prysmos, a once-advanced society crumbles as technology falters under the oppressive grip of darkness. When the planet's three suns align, their sinister rays obliterate all machinery, plunging civilization into an abyss of chaos. With the vestiges of civilization crumbling, the populace turns to ancient sorcery as their last beacon of hope.

From the ashes emerge the Visionaries, knights torn between opposing ideologies in a world rife with despair. Divided into factions—the noble Spectral Knights and the malevolent Darkling Lords—they vie for supremacy in a land fraught with treachery and peril.

Under the shadowy guidance of the enigmatic wizard Merklynn, the Visionaries are lured into a deadly competition where survival is the ultimate prize. Amidst labyrinthine traps, malevolent creatures, and the ever-present threat of betrayal, the chosen few emerge victorious, each adorned with a mystical totem adorning their armor—a reflection of their innermost essence and a conduit to transformative power.

Among them, some are bestowed with enchanted staves, vessels of arcane might activated by whispered incantations. Though their power wanes with each use in the bleak animated series, the comic's twisted reality grants them boundless potential. For those bereft of these mystic artifacts, the ability to infuse vehicles with sorcery becomes their grim alternative—a dark sacrament inscribed upon the toys' packaging, yet never realized in either medium.

In the grim pages of the Star Comics series, the female warriors wield shields, channeling arcane energies akin to their male counterparts' staves, in a world where survival hinges on the mastery of forbidden magic amidst the encroaching shadows of Prysmos.

Adorned with the totem of the Lion, he embodies the valor and majesty of his lineage, while his power staff channels the potent magic of Wisdom.

Distinguished by his solitary mustache among the ranks of the Spectral Knights, Leoric stands as a formidable figure against the encroaching darkness, with his primary adversary being Darkstorm. His vocalized incantation, "Whispered secrets of a shattered age, I summon you: renew this sage!" invokes the ancient knowledge and sagacity that he wields to combat the forces of chaos.

With the Lion as his emblem and Wisdom as his guide, he confronts the challenges that beset his kingdom with steadfast determination and unyielding courage.
