| A police squad led by Detective Amino arrives at a warehouse, where workers are being attacked by strange creatures. When rookie Detective Rinko Daimon and the police are outmatched by the Ghouls and their leader Minotauros, a youth named Haruto Soma arrives at the scene. Identified by Minotauros as a wizard, Haruto transforms into the figure Wizard to swiftly dispatch the Ghouls and break one of Minotauros' horns, forcing the Phantom to retreat. After summoning his Plamonsters to search for Minotauros, Haruto is confronted by Rinko. He explains to her that humans with magic potential, known as Gates, are being targeted by Phantoms, monsters that emerge from Gates who have given in to their own despair. Demanding more information from him and seeing him as a potential threat upon revealing that he has a Phantom inside him, she arrests him. At the police station, Rinko is informed by Amino—who now wears a bandage around his head—and the police chief that they are dropping the case due to their inability to handle the threat. On her way to free Haruto, Koyomi passes by both Rinko and Amino, and detects a strange aura within the latter. The Blue Unicorn Plamonster breaks into Haruto's cell to deliver him a message from Koyomi, warning him that Amino is the Phantom they are seeking. After deducing that Rinko is the Gate, he promptly uses the Small Magic Ring to shrink himself and ride on Blue Unicorn to break out of jail. Meanwhile, at a park, Rinko explains to Amino that she became a detective because her father was a policeman himself. Suddenly, Amino grabs Rinko's locket and slaps her to the ground before revealing himself to be Minotauros and stomping on the locket, forcing her into despair. Haruto and Koyomi arrive to intervene; while Koyomi looks after Rinko, Haruto transforms into Kamen Rider Wizard to battle the Phantom. Kamen Rider Wizard uses his Land Style and Hurricane Style attacks before finishing off Minotauros with Flame Style's Strike Wizard Rider Kick. When Rinko's body begins to show signs of a Phantom about to emerge, Kamen Rider Wizard places an Engage Ring on her right hand and enters her Underworld to neutralize her inner Phantom Jabberwock using his Winger Wizardragon and the WizarSword Gun. No longer a Gate, Rinko wakes up on a park bench and looks at the Engage Ring on her hand as Haruto takes Koyomi back home. |||||

| At a park, Medusa and Phoenix summon the Phantom Hellhound to target another Gate within the premises. As Hellhound attacks Shunpei Nara and a group of children, Haruto intervenes and transforms into Kamen Rider Wizard to battle the Phantom. After Hellhound retreats, Shunpei approaches Haruto and asks him to make him his apprentice. Haruto refuses, but finds himself being chased by Shunpei all over town. Shunpei finally corners Haruto at the Donut Shop Hungry, and he tells him he wants to help people with magic, but Haruto explains that the world does not need any more wizards and tells Shunpei to keep dreaming before he walks away. Meanwhile, after being questioned by Superintendent Masanori Kizaki of National Security Bureau Section Zero for her involvement with Kamen Rider Wizard, Rinko goes to the Antique Shop Omokagedō to look for Haruto. There, she meets Koyomi and Shigeru Wajima. Koyomi explains to Rinko that six months ago, on the day of a solar eclipse, she and Haruto were kidnapped along with many other Gates to be forced into despair during a sacrificial ritual. While nearly everyone was consumed by their Phantoms, Haruto fought to contain the Phantom within him. After the eclipse, a mysterious person donning an orange mask and a white robe laid an unconscious Koyomi next to Haruto and granted him the Wizardriver and the Wizard Rings. As a result of the incident, Koyomi lost her memories of her life from before the event while Haruto became a wizard, vowing never to let anyone become a Phantom. Later, Shunpei picks up a children's book at a library when he is surrounded by Hellhound and a platoon of Ghouls. As a Ghoul corners him against a tree, he closes his eyes and points his finger at it, suddenly casting a weak flame-throwing spell before Haruto arrives at the scene. Shunpei is told to run, but he is in shock from casting a spell, and Rinko jumps in to save him from another Ghoul. Kamen Rider Wizard disposes of all the Ghouls before he chases Hellhound on motorcycle. During the chase, he blasts the Phantom into a warehouse with his WizarSword Gun. Minutes after running for safety, Shunpei comes to the realization that he himself can wield magic. |||||

After doing a short demonstration in front of the camera, Shunpei is offered a spot on live TV before Haruto finds him. At the Hungry stand, Shunpei tries to show off his power in front of Haruto, but to no avail. Upon remembering that Hellhound breathes fire, Haruto realizes that the Phantom survived and is playing mind games on Shunpei. Though Haruto tries to explain it to him, Shunpei accuses him of keeping him down before he walks away. Meanwhile, revealing he had faked his death through his ability to hide in shadows, Hellhound assures Medusa and Phoenix that a new Phantom will be born the next day. Later that night, at Omokagedō, Haruto ponders on his argument with Shunpei before Wajima reminds him of how they met six months ago, when Haruto and Koyomi traced the origin of the Flame Ring to Wajima and asked him to craft more rings to battle the Phantoms. Given a new Wizard Ring and told that it might help light the way for him, Haruto's conviction is restored. The next morning, Haruto receives a phone call from Rinko about Shunpei on TV. Realizing that Tajima is the Phantom orchestrating Shunpei for the fall, Haruto rushes to the TV station to save Shunpei as he is publicly humiliated on national TV when his "magic" fails on him. Delighting in his target's misery, Hellhound reveals himself before entering Shunpei's shadow to force him into incinerating the Forest Wizard book to completely send him to despair.

Just as Caitsith attacks Eisaku at a conservatory, Haruto arrives to intervene while Rinko shows up to bring Eisaku to safety. After a lengthy battle, the Phantom retreats. Later, Haruto and Rinko explain to Eisaku about his situation as a Gate, but Eisaku is more concerned about his upcoming piano competition and is not worried about being attacked.

When the youth is about to eat, Manticore and his Ghouls make their move when Haruto intervenes. With the youth forcefully dragged off by Rinko and Shunpei, Kamen Rider Wizard proceeds to defeat the Ghouls before turning his attention to Manticore in Land Style. However, faking a retreat, Manticore poisons Kamen Rider Wizard with his stinger before assuming his human form, predicting the wizard's slow and antagonizing death. Elsewhere, not appreciating help from Haruto and focusing more on his ruined meal, the youth is treated to donuts as he coats them in mayonaise, much to the owner's dismay, before he accepts the strange combination. Feeling the donuts are not enough, the youth ditches Shunpei and Rinko as the two learn of Haruto's condition and return to Omokagedō. With Red Garuda watching him from afar, the youth encounters Manticore as he gives him a free fortune to find his despair. But the youth's upbeat personality and ideals confuse Manticore before Haruto and company arrive with the Phantom forced to assume his true form. With the youth enjoying the turn of events, and Haruto unable to transform due to the poison draining his mana, he introduces himself as Kosuke Nito while revealing himself to be the "ancient wizard Beast" upon revealing a Magic Ring on his person. Once transformed, Kamen Rider Beast defeats the Ghouls and devours them for their magical power before donning the Chamelo Mantle to fight Manticore. Though inflicted with Manticore's poison, Kamen Rider Beast uses the Dolphi Mantle to wash the poison off of himself and Haruto before donning the Falco Mantle to finish the Phantom off and eat him. With Haruto wanting to confirm his Phantom consumption, Kamen Rider Beast instead thinks Kamen Rider Wizard is also hunting Phantoms for their magical power and warns him not to meddle with his meals, again, before taking his leave. |||||

Kamen Rider Mage deals a severe blow on Medusa using her newly gained Holy Ring, but the Phantom refuses to subside, until she is mortally wounded by Wiseman, who is revealed to be no other than Fueki himself. As he transforms into the White Wizard, Fueki claims that Medusa has already fulfilled her purpose as all this time his objective was not to turn Gates into Phantoms, but into wizards instead, and with Yamamoto now able to become one, his plans are near fruition. Upon this revelation, Haruto and the others watch in shock as Medusa perishes before them. |||||

As a blue-colored Kamen Rider Mage replenishes Koyomi's mana, Mayu is attacked by Gremlin, who intends to kidnap her, just to be driven away by Haruto and Nito. Haruto then decides to look for Gremlin at Sora's apartment and upon meeting him, he learns from the Phantom that he intends to have at least one wizard in his possession to use as a bargaining chip against Wiseman. When Rinko approaches them, Gremlin flees without further explanations and soon after, Rinko is informed that Kizaki has finally awakened from his coma. Koyomi awakens in an unfamiliar house where she finds a photo of herself and Fueki and upon reading his diary, she discovers not only that she is his daughter, but she had died from an uncurable disease, while Haruto and Rinko also learn about it from Kizaki. After obtaining Fueki's address from the officer, Haruto leaves alone to confront him. Meanwhile, Yuzuru appears before Nito and Mayu but acts strangely before them, revealing himself as the blue-colored Kamen Rider Mage who easily defeats Nito and kidnaps Mayu. At Fueki's house, Haruto learns from him that he obtained the power of magic upon creating the artificial Phantom Carbuncle and implanting it in his body. He also reveals that with the power of Haruto and the other wizards, he intends to reenact the Sabbath to gather enough mana to revive Koyomi using the Philosopher's Stone that is stored inside her lifeless body. With Haruto unwilling to cooperate, Fueki commands Yamamoto, who transforms into a green-colored Kamen Rider Mage, to attack him. |||||

| Haruto defends himself against Yamamoto's attacks until Koyomi appears and the Green Kamen Rider Mage takes advantage of the distraction to defeat him. Meanwhile, Nito awakens at the Omokagedō who were informed by Shunpei about Mayu's kidnapping. Mayu awakens beside Haruto at the White Wizard's altar and learns from Fueki that both Yuzuru and Yamamoto are not acting on their own accord, but are being controlled by him instead. Now in possession of all four Wizards, Fueki makes preparations to begin the new Sabbath. Nito, Shunpei, and Rinko look in Fueki's house for clues about where he could have taken Haruto and the others when Gremlin appears before them. As the four wizards are restrained in separate points around the city, Haruto agrees to cooperate with Fueki to save Koyomi, until he reveals that the first Sabbath failed to fully resurrect her because he used ordinary Phantoms as pillars, thus not gathering enough mana for it. However, Haruto's awakening as a wizard gave him the idea to strengthen the ritual by using wizards instead of Phantoms to activate it, extending the range of the Sabbath to encompass the entire Tokyo area and gather mana from all Gates within it, but at the cost of turning them into Phantoms and killing the rest of the population, just as Gremlin had speculated to Nito and the others. Despite Haruto's pleas to stop it, Fueki makes use of the ring he obtained from Wajima, the Eclipse Ring, to bring forth a solar eclipse onto the city and start the Sabbath. All humans inside the area of the spell start suffering with its effects, except Nito, who confronts the White Wizard by himself as Kamen Rider Beast, but is once again defeated. However, in a last effort, Kamen Rider Beast Hyper uses Fueki's Hamel Cane to destroy his Beast Driver and break Beast Chimera free. The Phantom devours all of the mana released by the Sabbath and stops the ritual, before it bids farewell to Nito, fleeing to parts unknown. Enraged by Nito's interference, Fueki is about to kill him when Haruto appears to confront the White Wizard. |||||

The children escape using Kamen Riders Double, Fourze, Faiz, and Kabuto; while Kamen Riders OOO and Decade are the children's getaway drivers. Before departing, Kamen Rider Decade questions Haruto if this is the World of Wizard, only for Haruto to refute the claim. Later, Haruto passes by an alternate version of the Omokagedō, where the world's Wajima explains to him that the children are beginning to transform into monsters. While watching over the children, he learns that the little girl's name is Koyomi. Suddenly, Amadum summons Haruto and explains that he needs the Rider Rings to prevent the monsters spilling into a new world.
