Dealing with anxiety and an advisor who insists that she uses Digimancy, a combination of magic and technology, she accidentally creates Anne, a talking skull that narrates her inner thoughts. While trying to fix Anne with a mage candidate named James, they discover that magic students needing disability accommodations are disappearing. With no help from the school, Dorothe and James will have to rely on each other to find the missing students.
