Winx Club - Episode 323

The Wizard's Challenge (The Water Stars in the Nickelodeon dub) is the twenty-third episode of the third season of Winx Club.

Synopsis
The episode begins with the Winx discussing whether to experiment with the Water Stars first or go shopping.

They agree on to do the experimenting first, then go shopping later. At the lab, they noticed that the Water Stars aren't activating.

Stella suggests to hit them with a burst of magic, yet that will bring out a negative reaction. Layla then thought of trapping the Water Stars into a Morphix ball, then transfer the energy. However, Bloom summons the Water Star with her Dragon Fire, yet Musa tells her that if it can defeat Valtor, then it could defeat her as well.

Later on, the Trix encounter Valtor who looked down because the fairies, specialists, and witches were teaming up together. He admits to want to spell himself into oblivion, in which Darcy voluenteers to, but caught his attention to continue in collecting spells, specifically from Alfea.
