Hundreds of years ago, invaders from the sky ravaged the land and almost destroyed the world. To repel the invaders, five mages joined together and casted a powerful barrier to ward the invaders away, atop a huge tower, the "Mercedes Caulis", becoming known as the first "Magia Vander". The Regarden Magical Academy is focused on training magicians, including those strong enough to become Magia Vander themselves and continue the legacy of maintaining the barrier that protects the kingdom. |

Will Serfort is a student from Regarden who swore to become a magician strong enough to be accepted into the Mercedes Caulis and reunite with his childhood friend, Elfaria Albis Serfort, the youngest magician ever to become a Magia Vander. However, Will has no magic aptitude at all, having managed to progress on his studies so far with the perfect scores on written tests and the extra credits obtained from hunting monsters in the school's dungeon, but only a few people know his true power, as what he lacks in magic, he makes up with his swordsmanship, capable of defeating powerful monsters that even the stongest magicians have difficulties against. As Will keeps pushing toward his dream, he makes friends and enemies along the way while showing his true powers which shake the very foundations of the world. |

:The main protagonist, he is a sixth year student at the Regarden Magical Academy shunned by most students and faculty due to his lack of magical aptitude. To make up for his lack of magic, Will trains his body and swordsmanship in the dungeon, becoming capable of countering any opponent's attacks after witnessing them once. He later discovers that he has the power to infuse his sword with magic in order to strengthen his attacks. While he normally needs another person to cast the magic for infusing, he eventually learns to infuse it himself by drawing power from his memories and able to replicate any magic sword he wielded before, albeit with less proficiency. |

Wistoria: Wand and Sword (杖と剣のウィストリア, Tsue to Tsurugi no Uisutoria) is a Japanese manga series written by Fujino Ōmori and illustrated by Toshi Aoi. It began serialization on Kodansha's shōnen manga magazine Bessatsu Shōnen Magazine in December 2020, with its chapters collected in 10 tankōbon volumes as of June 2024. The series follows a boy with no talent for magic, working his way up in a magic school with his swordsmanship skills only, seeking to reunite with his childhood friend. An anime television series adaptation produced by Actas and Bandai Namco Pictures premiered in July 2024.
Plot
Hundreds of years ago, invaders from the sky ravaged the land and almost destroyed the world. To repel the invaders, five mages joined together and casted a powerful barrier to ward the invaders away, atop a huge tower, the "Mercedes Caulis", becoming known as the first "Magia Vander". The Regarden Magical Academy is focused on training magicians, including those strong enough to become Magia Vander themselves and continue the legacy of maintaining the barrier that protects the kingdom.
Will Serfort is a student from Regarden who swore to become a magician strong enough to be accepted into the Mercedes Caulis and reunite with his childhood friend, Elfaria Albis Serfort, the youngest magician ever to become a Magia Vander. However, Will has no magic aptitude at all, having managed to progress on his studies so far with the perfect scores on written tests and the extra credits obtained from hunting monsters in the school's dungeon, but only a few people know his true power, as what he lacks in magic, he makes up with his swordsmanship, capable of defeating powerful monsters that even the stongest magicians have difficulties against. As Will keeps pushing toward his dream, he makes friends and enemies along the way while showing his true powers which shake the very foundations of the world.

To make up for his lack of magic, Will trains his body and swordsmanship in the dungeon, becoming capable of countering any opponent's attacks after witnessing them once. He later discovers that he has the power to infuse his sword with magic in order to strengthen his attacks. While he normally needs another person to cast the magic for infusing, he eventually learns to infuse it himself by drawing power from his memories and able to replicate any magic sword he wielded before, albeit with less proficiency.
