Does anyone remember this show? It had to be British, aired in the US in the 1980s on Nickelodeon as part of a show called The Third Eye.
There was this wizard/magician named Rothgo. He had a mortal enemy named Belor. She somehow took a big part of his magic called the Nidus, which made him super powerful.
Belor wants to control the nidus, but she can't while Rothgo is still alive. He grows weaker all the time whenever he uses his powers.
As a last ditch effort, Rothgo puts out a big call for help that attracts 3 children. He didn't mean to get kids, but he did. He soon finds that working together, the children would have the ability to retrieve the nidus for him.
The problem? The nidus is trapped in the past, so the kids enter a labrynth, which can send them any time that Rothgo chooses.
Rothgo exists in all these time periods, but due to the whole feud with Belor, doesn't know who he is. But once the kids find him and speak his name, he has memories of the future, and can help them.
The nidus can only be seen in reflection, so you need a mirror to see it.
Belor exists in all these times too, but she knows who she is and everything that's going on, and of course her goal is to deny the nidus and make Rothgo in the present use his remaining energy so he dies.
So when the kids get close, she can move the nidus to another era, and Rothgo makes them follow.
The show only aired 7 episodes, but I found out recently that there was more than 1 season. In the US, we only saw the one season.
I bring it up because I just found the show in its entirety on Youtube, able for anyone who remembers to watch.
So I'm in the middle of a run, 3 episodes into the first season.
