Writer Jack C.

June Moone was a freelance artist, invited to a costume party at an old castle, stumbled upon a secret chamber where an unknown magical being empowered her to fight an evil presence in the castle.

Saying the words "The Enchantress", her appearance changes from blonde-haired June to black-haired and costumed Enchantress and defeats a minotaur creature from a tapestry. Soon after, she defeats a monster at Cape Kennedy and a mirage of a demonic creature manipulated by a crook.

Madame Xanadu diagnoses that June's loss of control is because she began using her powers before she could control them, the only way to counteract this is not to use them until her aura, which protects her from the evil influences in magic, regains its power. Madame Xanadu gives June a necklace that she cannot remove, which together with a ring to be held by someone else creates a feedback loop preventing the Enchantress from using magic for evil as a temporary measure, she raises an army to destroy the town and perform terror attacks as stated in the first mission.
