    That was part of the original story as the villain Zxaxz fell prey to the rings' power as well (and the first six issues discussed whether or not it'd happen to Erica), but it rings hollow with her brother Roy becoming Spellbinder Supreme without issues. Poor Erica She reminds me of Amethyst, Princess of Gemworld, but unluckier.
