The story of Skylanders Imaginators takes place long ago when the Ancients used a mysterious power known as " Mind Magic" to create everything in Skylands. With it, they conjured into existence anything that they could imagine! However, they soon learned that in the wrong hands, it could be very dangerous, and so they sealed it away so that it could never be misused.
