Witch War Part 1

Sabrina, the Teenage Witch, vol. 2 #93-94
"Salem's Secrets" Part 1 & 2, Salem reveals his plot to take over the world, and how he realized that he loved Nocturna but only when it was to late. He went with Nocturna and her crew to Island of the Elves in search of the unicorn wand. He tricked a small elf girl into helping him get inside the Invisibility Shield that protects the unicorns. The small elven girl, who was an orphan and had no real friends was friends with the unicorns until she brought Salem and Nocturna inside the shield. The unicorns basically shunned her and made her an outcast. They did not trust her anymore. Nocturna felt bad for the girl, so she offered Seles (the elven girl) passage on her ship and a family. When Nocturna discovered Salem's true plans and how he was using Seles and herself (Nocturna) she turned him in to the authorities.

Sabrina, the Teenage Witch, vol. 2 #85

Sabrina, the Teenage Witch, vol. 2 #80
Sabrina tells Llandra that she is combining 2 seperate spells to make a spell for Narayan to have feet every time he makes contact with air. A spell to give legs to a merman/mermaid is clearly impossible. At the beach in Magic Realm, Sabrina somehow manages to make the transformation spell real and permanent, but had a little side effect. At a Magic Review, Sabrina somehow accidentally let the merman transformation spell slip, and now she is being observed by the Council and the Queen. However, the Queen releases her, but Sabrina makes the decision to quit magic and become a normal mortal instead, almost destroying the balance between the human and the magic realm

Sabrina, the Teenage Witch, vol. 2 #79
Sabrina and her other witch friends learn that on Halloween witches are allowed to use their magic freely in the Mortal Realm, just so long as they don't get caught. They decide to go to a haunted house to have a little fun, but when they get tired of standing in the long admission line Salem convinces them to visit a 'real' haunted house instead.

Sabrina, the Teenage Witch, vol. 2 #77
The Charm school is now ending for summer vacation. Sabrina and her class were going on a trip to Melusa, the city of the merpeople.

There they met Narayan, a teenage merman, and Llandra falls in love at first sight. Narayan gave them a wonderful tour of Melusa until they find the rest of the class again.

Sabrina, the Teenage Witch, vol. 2 #69
During the celebration of Four Blades Day, Sabrina is asked by the Queen to take over one of the lead roles in a play about the events behind the holiday, a failed rebellion against the Queen and the Magic Council. But the events described in the play may not be the truth, as Shinji knows a quite different version of the tale. After the play is over, Sabrina receives a "Dear Joan" letter from Harvey: he is breaking up with her! (But wants to stay friends...)

Sabrina, the Teenage Witch, vol. 2 #68

"Model Behavior": Sabrina & Harvey go on a double date with LLandra & Shinji, but it goes poorly as Harvey falls ill.

After a modeling session with Josie and The Pussycats in which the musicians talk some sense into him, Shinji quits modeling to return to being a student.

Sabrina, the Teenage Witch, vol. 2 #66
"Salem Mania": Shinji's mortal uncle visits from Japan and, upon seeing Salem, decides to market a line of toys and stuffed animals modeled on the cute and cuddly cat. Meanwhile, Amy sows seeds of doubt in Sabrina about her relationship with Harvey.
