Mrs. Case

MRS. CASE (AMELIA): Appears in all books. When first introduced, she is the principal at the boys' school, Dampier Middle School. She is very secretive and always hints that she is “watching” the boys. In the second book, it is revealed that she is actually possessed by a Nocturn named Zaghnal the Wraith-sickle. Inevitably, the team of Rome, Julian, Camela, and Krysta cross paths with her and fight until they are able to exorcise Zaghnal from her. At that point, she joins the allies and vows to act as the caretaker for Camela and Krysta. In the third book, Mrs. Case divulges her secretive history with the Rider family. With both her and Jericho Rider letting everyone know of their familial ties, the group confirms the theory that only the Rider family bloodline can bond with dragons using the elemental Talismans. In the past, she studied under Mr. Jones's mentor and was his prized student while Mr. Jones left to pursue his idea of closing portals.

Talisman:  Wielder of the wind Talisman, Fujin's Teardrop. Her use of the wind Talisman grants her air and wind manipulation abilities such as flying on breezes and creating concussive wind blasts in the the form of various, purple orbs. Due to the combination of her wind Talisman and her vast experience with spells, she is often referred to as the most capable sorceress in the world.

Associated spells:  Her spell book Alakazam contains many spells, but only some have been seen thus far. Deadbolt can take any piece of metal and magnify its innate qualities such as durability and size to be used as a veritable shield. Dreamweaver's basic principal is to create a dream for someone sleeping.

Trivia: Mrs. Case's first name is Amelia, but is sometimes referred to by Mr. Jones as the cryptic "A.C" for Amelia Case.

Zaghnal the Wraith-sickle's occupation of Mrs. Case is the first time in the series we see a Nocturn's ability to possess a race of the Earth realm. This is also the first time the darktouch curse is brought into the series.

Mrs. Case is also the first human to perform The Great Synergy with multiple dragons as opposed to a solitary one. She is bound to the three wind dragons of Beacon (Stratus, Marin, and Skye).
