## Synopsis

A determined student enters an academy where magical skill decides who advances, even though he cannot produce a spell himself. He refuses to surrender the goal that brought him there and builds his path around swordsmanship instead. Lessons and rivalries expose how poorly he fits the school's idea of talent, but trips into the labyrinth beneath the academy give him a different way to prove his ability. Against dangerous creatures, quick movement and a blade can matter as much as magical power. Wistoria: Wand and Sword follows his attempt to rise within a system built for mages, keeping the premise accessible and the larger goal mostly ahead of him.
