In `Upside-Down Magic, a Disney Channel Original Movie, 13-year-old Nory Boxwood Horace discovers she can flux into animals, and her best friend Reina Carvajal can manipulate flames. Together, they enter the Sage Academy for Magical Studies. Reina`s expert ability to harness the power of fire lands her at the top of her class of `Flares,` but Nory`s wonky magic and proclivity for turning into a `Dritten`-a half-kitten, half-dragon-lands her in a class for those with Upside-Down Magic, otherwise known as UDM. While Headmaster Knightslinger believes the UDM`s unconventional powers leave them vulnerable to dangerous and evil `shadow magic,` Nory and her fellow UDM classmates set out to prove that Upside-Down Magic beats right side up.
