Hi there
wondered if anyone can help me identify the name of an old cartoon I saw on video in the early 1990's or so. I can really only remember some plot information from two episodes from this show, which had wizards in it.
One episode involved a good wizard i think his name was (Phineas, but i may be wrong) who from memory had to prove his wizardly ability to some wizards council and show his magic, in order to get (I think?) his wizards hat (licence back). Only trouble was he had amnesia, and his friends had to try and cast his spells for him behind the stage so the wizard judges would think he was casting them. The wizard didn't know his friends were helping him backstage though. One of the friends (I think from a potion?) turned invisible and lifted a chair with heavy books on it on the stage, to make the wizard look as if he was levitating it. I think the wizard also tried either to make it rain or make a rainbow appear for the judges as well, i can't quite remember. Anyway, the judges found the cheaters behind the stage casting the spells and the council were going to strip him of his wizarding licence, but i think he suddenly got his memory back and was able to prove his powers by making a fire appear in front of a horse to stop some bad guy, can't remember for what though. (there were individual fields of magic the judges set for him that he had to demonstrate he could cast, elemental magic was one i think, i.e. the fire, and hence the rain on the first attempt.)
Another episode i remember was the good wizard trying to cast a summoning spell on a unicorn, to summon the unicorn to him- the only problem was that another evil wizard was casting the same summoning spell on the unicorn, so this unicorn was half manifested at the good wizards side, and half manifested next to the bad wizard. From memory each wizard then cast magic from their hands at their summoning circles, to strengthen their spell, white magic flowed from the good wizard's hands, and red magic flowed from the bad wizard's hands. From memory, the bad wizard won, and the unicorn eventually was successfully summoned next to the bad wizard.
If anyone knows the name of this cartoon, or the name of the characters in it, or if it's on dvd or video any more, i'd be greatful- One thing i know is it is NOT Dungeons and Dragons, that also involved a wizard and unicorn theme in one episode, but this is a different show.
Thanks for your help
