But, my powers were still here. Well, sort of.

But, now I was here in a strange world, different people, unusual customs...
I didn't even know if my spells would work here - or if they burned witches at the stake - or tortured non-witches.
And, on top of that I was...

The body disappeared, the witnesses forgot their stories. And I had 24 hours to solve the mystery before all the evidence vanished.

Because I'm damned good at figuring things out. You don't have to have a string of degrees behind your name to figure...
