Chase besucht die "akademische Zauberkunst-HighSchool" und hatte den Auftrag erhalten, eine Maschine oder einen Roboter zu bauen, der auch ohne Magie funktioniert. Wie das Schicksal es jedenfalls so wollte, ist Chase (ehrlich gesagt) nicht der Begabteste in diesem Bereich und bastelt sein Roboter-Flughörnchen "Patch" mit ein paar unbemerkten Fehlern. Die Folgen: wenn sich der Fehler wieder 'mal bemerkbar macht, bleibt Patch hängen (weshalb er gleich mal umfällt) und kann sich für einen kurzen Moment nicht mehr bewegen. Hinter dem Rücken seiner Schwester Abigail, wendet Chase nun doch Zauberei an, was aber noch mehr Folgen mit sich zieht (und keiner diese bemerkt): Patch hat nun zwar "Leben" in sich, aber zudem auch einen "kleinen" Dachschaden, wodurch er sich Groooosses vornimmt und seine verkorksten Pläne, so schnell es geht, in die Tat umsetzen will..
