The second episode of the first season of Syfy's fantasy drama series, 'The Magicians,' is titled 'The Source of Magic.' This installment picks up where the previous episode left off with a devastating event affecting Brakebills University for Magical Arts. The students are still reeling from this catastrophe and trying to cope with its far-reaching consequences.

Meanwhile, back in New York City (or more specifically Brooklyn), Julia's introduction into the mysterious world of Hedge Witches continues to unfold. Her journey is filled with challenges as she navigates unfamiliar territory while also dealing with her own personal demons.

Throughout 'The Source of Magic,' themes such as friendship, love, and loyalty are expertly interwoven throughout a narrative that balances action-packed sequences with heart-wrenching moments. The episode's title provides an apt description for the plot developments that will unfold as our main characters grapple with their newfound magical abilities and confrontations with forces beyond their control.

The cast delivers solid performances across all fronts, bringing depth and nuance to their respective roles without ever feeling over-the-top or forced into certain emotional beats. The special effects work seamlessly throughout each scene adding an extra layer of realism to the world-building process being undertaken by showrunners so skillfully here too!

This season has been building towards this moment for weeks now - will our heroes be able to overcome whatever obstacles lie ahead when magic becomes a double-edged sword in 'The Source Of Magic'? Tune-in tomorrow night at 9/8c on Syfy USA or stream it live via their website/app if you missed last week's episode!
