In the heart of the kingdom, a magical mishap took place. The royal mage, known for his wisdom and powers, accidentally activated a rare enchantment. Before he could react, he was transformed into an ordinary pair of stockings.

The mage's study, once brimming with arcane energy, now felt eerily silent. The stockings, devoid of any magical aura, lay unassumingly on the mage's wooden desk.

The queen, concerned with the mage's sudden disappearance, decided to investigate. Upon entering the mage's study, her eyes landed on the pair of stockings.

Intrigued by the stockings' intricate design and soft texture, the queen decided to try them on. To her surprise, they fit perfectly and were incredibly comfortable.

The queen went about her day wearing the stockings, unaware of their true nature. Meanwhile, the mage, trapped in his new form, struggled to communicate with the queen.

As the queen moved, the mage found that he could slightly manipulate the stockings' movements. He attempted to guide the queen back to his study, hoping she'd realize something was amiss.

The queen, feeling a slight tug from the stockings, found herself back in the mage's study. She looked around the room, searching for a clue to the strange occurrence.

Suddenly, the queen noticed the magic tome opened on the desk. It was a book on transformation spells, which the mage had been studying before his transformation.

The queen began to read the tome, and as she read the words aloud, the stockings twitched. Realizing the connection, she quickly leafed through the pages to find a reversal spell.

With a deep breath, she recited the spell. The stockings wriggled and shivered as the magic took effect. A flash of light filled the room, and the royal mage stood before her.

The queen sighed in relief as the mage thanked her. He promised to be more careful with his magic, especially with transformation spells. The queen simply laughed, glad to have her mage back.

From that day forward, the kingdom's tales included the story of the queen's magical stockings. And the mage, though slightly embarrassed, was glad his queen could save him from his own magic.
