[edit] Plot Summary

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Three thousand years ago, trollz lived happily in the world of Trollzopolis. All trollz used magic to aid in their everyday lives. They used magic for transportation, communication, and entertainment. That all changed one day when Simon, an evil gremlin, stole most of the magic from the trollz and used it for his own evil agenda of trying to take over the world. It wasn't until ten trollz (five young apprentices and their mentors) rose up to seal Simon away forever using the Magic of the Five, preventing the destruction of the world. However, the damage Simon inflicted still lingered and most of the magic was now gone from Trollzopolis. Only female trollz were still able to cast magic, with the help of special items known as spellbeads. To compensate for the loss of magic, technology and machines were created.

In the present day, Trollzopolis is an urban environment and the citizens rely on cars, Spell Phones, and other gadgets for everyday life. One day, five young girls (Amethyst, Ruby, Sapphire, Topaz, and Onyx) accidentally released Simon from his dimensional prison after they unwittingly use the Magic of the Five. Now, the five girls must find a way to banish Simon back to his prison and prevent him from taking over the present-day Trollzopolis.
