Silas Cragmore refused to conform to the strict upbringing laid out for him by his family.
He enjoyed the freedom magic provided, though more times than not, it landed him in trouble. One relative or another came to his aide and each time he swore he'd follow the Cragmore code of magic.
It never lasted.
After a nasty battle with a large group of hungry goblins, Griselda and Esther bound his magic. Silas was furious and swore he'd undo their spell.
He did by sweet talking a witch into removing his bonds. He returned to Merrihaven in a rage and got his revenge by turning the sisters into slugs. For good measure, he set them on a rock in the sun. Everyone knows slugs dry out in the sunlight.
The sisters did their best to get off the rock, but without hands or mouths to change themselves back, the situation became dire. Griselda started to pucker. Esther's tail end started to smoke.
Luckily, Fuster and Cragge were watching from the window and were able to get the sisters inside. The sisters were returned to normal, but by then, Silas was long gone.
