Where the Magic Happens is the fourth episode of the second season of Ben 10: Ultimate Alien, and the fourteenth episode overall.
Synopsis[]
Gwen takes the team to a dimension of magic, where their only hope of survival rests with her old foe Charmcaster.[CN 1]
Plot[]
The group is chasing Ultimate Aggregor, who runs toward a door and shouts an incantation. The door glows symbols and opens to a world that looks like it is full of manna. Unfortunately, Four Arms isn't strong enough to keep the door open, and it closes. After Four Arms transforms back to normal, Ben remembers the glowing symbols and writes them down, but Gwen is unable to pronounce the symbols correctly. She does know someone who can read them, and that person is Charmcaster.
When Gwen approaches Charmcaster, she begins fighting Gwen before she could tell her why she came. Charmcaster stops fighting when Gwen mentions Aggregor crossing a portal that looks like it is made of pure manna. Charmcaster decides to help, and she and Gwen go back to the door and Charmcaster says the incantation (Yawatacsip) which is the gateway to Legerdomain, the dimension made up of pure manna.
Charmcaster explains that she was born here and that she and Hex were sent to Earth by Charmcaster's father, who was fighting the ruler of Legerdomain, Addwaitya, but died in battle. Gwen also notices that her magical and Anodite powers and abilities have gotten much stronger and more powerful. Addwaitya's Rock Monsters attack the group and battle them. Ben transforms into Jetray and tries to fight them but cannot fly since the sky and earth are not parallel in this dimension. Ben transforms into Cannonbolt and the Rock Monsters are defeated, but the group encounters Addwaiyta.

Charmcaster crying over hearing her father's voice
Addwaitya tries to kill the group by covering them with rock, but Charmcaster and Gwen free themselves and they flee from Addwaitya. They are then attacked by Addwaitya's stone bat-like creatures, and Ben transforms into Chromastone and they fight the creatures, while Charmcaster prepares a spell that will protect them. The spell works and the creatures leave. Soon, they come across a gap, where Charmcaster hears her father's voice, telling her to step into the gap to reunite with him. Gwen is able to convince Charmcaster that it is a trick, and they move on. Soon, they encounter Addwaitya's guard, Pallorfang.

Gwen and Charmcaster working together
Ben transforms into Humungousaur and fights the creature, killing it by pushing it off a cliff. Addwaitya, angered by Humungousaur killing his pet, attacks them and entraps them in frozen blocks. Humungousaur evolves into Ultimate Humungousaur and frees himself, then fights Addwaitya. The Alpha Rune, the key to all of his magical power and strength, mysteriously disappears and he is attacked by Aggregor, where the Alpha Rune is revealed to be yet another piece of the Map of Infinity.
Aggregor escapes the collapsing citadel and Charmcaster helps the team get out, but stays behind to free her people. The door seals behind them with the runes to Legerdomain completely gone. Ben vows to Gwen that one day, they'll return to help Charmcaster, but for the time being, Aggregor has the third quarter of the most powerful artifact in the universe, leaving the team with only one last chance to stop him.
