Equally Morgana attempts to impale Veronica by possessing her from within, Balthazar stops her by imprisoning Morgana and Veronica in the "Grimhold", a magic prison in the shape of a nesting doll. Before dying, Merlin gives Balthazar a dragon figurine that will identify the Prime number Merlinean, Merlin'due south descendant and the only ane able to defeat Morgana. While he searches for his descendant throughout history, Balthazar imprisons Morganians, sorcerers who endeavour to release Morgana, including Horvath, into successive layers on the Grimhold.

When Balthazar gives Dave Merlin'southward dragon figurine, the statue comes to life and wraps itself around the male child's finger to form a ring. When Balthazar goes to recollect a book meant to teach magic, Dave accidentally opens the Grimhold, releasing the imprisoned Horvath. While battling for possession of the Grimhold, Balthazar and Horvath are imprisoned in an aboriginal Chinese urn with a 10-year lock expletive. Dave is then ridiculed past his classmates when he claims he saw magic, but to find the shop empty. He is faced with severe bullying, and is misdiagnosed with hallucination caused by a "glucose imbalance", whilst still keeping the ring.
10 years later on, Dave, now 20 years old, is a physics student at New York University, and meets his childhood crush Becky. He immediately becomes smitten with her, and repairs the transmitting mast of the radio station she works at after it is struck by lightning. The ten-yr imprisonment expletive of the urn ends, releasing Horvath and Balthazar. Horvath pursues Dave and the Grimhold. Balthazar rescues Dave, riding an animated steel eagle adapted from a Chrysler Building gargoyle. Dave initially refuses to aid Balthazar, having been under psychiatric care since their first meeting, until Balthazar agrees to leave later finding the Grimhold. They track the Grimhold to Chinatown, where Horvath has released the side by side Morganian, Sun Lok. Dave defeats Sun Lok, and Balthazar retrieves the Grimhold.

Morgana, if freed, would cast a spell called "The Rising", which would revive sorcerers from the dead and enslave mankind. Equally Prime Merlinian, Dave will go powerful plenty to cast spells without his ring (a focus, which for any other sorcerer is the merely style to channel their magic), and is the just one who can stop her. Despite Balthazar's disdain of his relationship with Becky, Dave convinces to allow him to run across her for a date. Dave tries to use magic to clean his lab, only loses command of his blithe cleaning mops, which forces him to cancel his date with Becky. He is saved because of Balthazar's intervention and, disillusioned, decides to give up on magic, until Becky unknowingly changes his listen. He returns to his underground subway lab, just equally Drake and Horvath try to impale Balthazar and steal the Grimhold. Horvath, having no more than use for Drake, casts a parasite spell and steals Drake'southward magic and his ring.

He threatens to kill Becky, therefore forcing Dave to surrender the Grimhold and his band. Balthazar goes afterward Horvath in Battery Park, sure that Dave, without his band, volition be killed. Horvath releases Morgana, who begins the Rising Spell while Horvath animates the Charging Bull sculpture and commands it to attack Balthazar. Dave arrives and stuns Horvath with a Tesla coil tied to Balthazar's car while Balthazar's eagle flies away with the bull. Becky disrupts the Rising Spell, stunning Morgana. Balthazar takes Morgana, body and soul, from Veronica into himself, just Morgana escapes and tries to incinerate them. Dave attempts to cease her without his ring and succeeds, proving that he is the Prime Merlinean. Morgana shoots plasma bolts at the 3 and overwhelming Balthazar and Veronica's shield spells, kills Balthazar when he bodily intercepts a bolt meant for Veronica. Dave makes another, larger Tesla coil out of the square's lamp posts and ability lines to overwhelm her and then fires a plasma avalanche, which finally destroys her.
