### English Version

Master of overlapping shadows

Friendship that bloomed in a moment

Beyond the sky of cause and effect

A flower of swords for the hand

Where will you go after overcoming your mistakes?

Embraced by emptiness

Settled deep inside my heart

The monsters wake up

To evil

The blade of revenge―

To the good

A death of salvation―

My hands are soiled

Which one should I cut?

Stand up

Stand fearlessly

Give me your life

To the victory (starting) that I cling to

An offensive move

To the stigmata that cannot be healed

The shadow of my mother who never returned

Rubbed by the distorted silence

A lie poured into my young heart

The chain-like bondage of sin

The magic that bites into

A world like the abyss

No one can take it away

I won't give up anything anymore

Justice alone cannot save us

(Now) Let's become evil for the sake of our lives

Uneven sword petals

We have surely bloomed

(Lonely me)

Master of overlapping shadows

Friendship that bloomed in a moment

Even if it comes down to cause and effect

The proof of life will not disappear

Athame

An **athame** in the world of *Reign of the Seven Spellblades* is a short sword carried by most mages as a combination sidearm and magic focus.

## Description

An athame is normally a short sword between thirteen and twenty-two inches in length meant to be wielded in one hand. Beyond this they vary wildly in form from one mage to the next: they may be either curved or straight, and be either single- or double-edged. Most have cruciform hilts, though some feature handguards.

A trained mage can both duel with their athame, a practice known as sword arts, and cast spells with it in place of their white wand.

Nanao Hibiya, who trained as a samurai in her homeland of Yamatsu, was considered unusual for preferring a katana over twenty-five inches long. Two-handed swords were rare enough in the Union that there were no standard dueling rules to account for them.

Few mages were capable of wielding two athames at once. The only one in living memory who could manage this effectively was the late Chloe Halford.

## History and controversy

Athames are deeply intertwined with the invention of sword arts. In the year 1132, the High Sorcerer Wilf Badderwell was killed in a fair duel by a nonmagical swordsman. Prior to this, carrying a sword was considered dishonorable; however, the death of Badderwell forced mages to rethink this position.

In the 1530s, Professor Frances Gilchrist still despised the use of athames, arguing that even though they made mages safer from nonmagicals, they also led to an increase in mage-on-mage violence. She believed that mages should favor magical solutions for close-in defense, such as the use of familiars.

Wilf Badderwell

Manga

**Wilf Badderwell** was a High Sorcerer of the early 12th century.

## Background

In 1132, Badderwell fought a duel with a nonmagical swordsman. Despite his skills as a mage, he was slain by his opponent before he could cast a spell in his own defense. Mages' postmortems of this event led to the realization of the "one-step, one-spell distance": a radius within which a weapon can strike any mage faster than they can cast a conventional spell. This in turn led to the invention of sword arts.

Penguin

Frost (Sister)

Freeze (Sister)

HybridWings

Penguin is a dragon created by User:UpsideDown Gravis63

## Appearance

Penguin has a white underbelly and horns, baby blue wings and spikes, and pale sand-blue scales.

## Backstory

### Early

When penguin was two, his mother died. Snowfall made his sisters promise not to kill for the throne yet, since none were ready. In the meantime, the IceWing council was in place for queen. Sapphire, his oldest sister, didn't ever bother him. She only ever said, "Go away, I'm preparing," or "I'll make a great queen if you leave me alone." Frost was nice, but really annoying. Penguin liked being with her, but only sometimes. Freeze, his youngest sister, was the nicest to him, and those two were always with each other. Penguin sometimes wished he had a brother, but Freeze always put him in a good mood.

### War

During the IceWing Queen War, Penguin sided with Freeze, his favorite sister. Nothing was in his way, except for one dragon... Ameythyst. Both of them went at each other in the heat of the battle (or the cold of the battle, since IceWing stuff). Eventually, the two became friends, and got all three sisters to form a new council, to have them all be partly queen. They decided with that, and all live in harmony.

### Travel

Penguin went on a mission once, and heard of this new school in SkyWing territory, and wasn't sure if he should go. His first cousin, Winter, didn't like SkyWings to much, but Penguin wanted to go. Sapphire decided to let him go, but Freeze and Frost wanted to go to. Sapphire took over as queen, but promised that the council would reform once they were all together.

Theodore McFarlane

* Light Novel Design
* LN

**Theodore McFarlane** (セオドール＝マクファーレン, *Seodōru Makufāren*) is an instructor at Kimberly Magic Academy.

He is Michela McFarlane's father.

## Background

Theodore McFarlane is the head of the noble house of McFarlane, one of the five oldest families in Yelgland, and among the elite in the Magical World.

He is well-known for the travelogues he writes, which are popular even among nonmagical people.

## Appearance

McFarlane sports the traditional blond curls of his family.

## Personality

McFarlane has a categorically un-serious personality and can't resist antagonizing people for his own amusement.

## Abilities

* **Striking Strength:**

* **Stamina:**

* **Intelligence:**

* **Range:**

* **Durability:**

* **Speed:**

* **Magic capabilities:** McFarlane's silly behavior belies his incredible capabilities as a mage. When attacked by an enraged Chela, he knocked her unconscious with a single wordless spell.

## Techniques

* **The Second Spellblade - Creumbra, the self-racing shadow**

> McFarlane is one of a handful of people able to use a Spellblade. Known as the self-racing shadow, this Spellblade works by moving slightly over 50 percent of the caster’s proportional existence to the far limit of their spatial magic, thus creating a doppelganger, something the world doesn’t allow. Immediately, the world begins to correct the phenomenon and merges the two doubles, converging at the position with the greater proportional existence, being the doppelganger’s position. The resulting force of the correction is normally too much for the body to bear and would kill the caster, creating a massive explosion. However, should the force be contained and focused into an attack, it creates a blow that cannot be withstood, delivered without even a flick of the blade. The attack is so strong, it evaporates the target instead of piercing them.

### Official Yen Press Synopsis

As the battle to determine the strongest first-year heats up, Katie comes to her friends with a daring proposal—to build a secret base within the labyrinth! Having a shared workshop would be a great boon for each of their personal projects, but the dark corridors under the school are a perfect spot for an ambush.

Daitsch

## Additional Info

**Daitsch** is a country in the world of *Reign of the Seven Spellblades*.

## History

An unnamed mage of Daitsch once attempted to magically duplicate himself, which caused him to be consumed by the spell in spectacular manner. He attempted to shift half of his mass to another nearby location, which caused a massive explosion that obliterated him, his manor, and much of the surrounding countryside. Mages studying the aftermath decided the Daitschean had accidentally discovered a previously unknown frenetic principle: a violation of the world's natural laws to which reality itself massively overreacted.

Theodore McFarlane was able to exploit the Daitschean mage's efforts in order to invent the Second Spellblade, "Creumbra, the self-racing shadow".

## Trivia

* Daitsch is likely the equivalent of Germany (or possibly the Netherlands) in the world of *Reign of the Seven Spellblades*.

Kimberly Campus Watch

The **Campus Watch** is a group of students at Kimberly Magic Academy.

## Members

* Alvin Godfrey

* Carlos Whitrow

* Lesedi Ingwe

* Tim Linton

* Ophelia Salvadori (Former)

## History

Due to the nature of the school, instructors at Kimberly are not allowed to assist in any cases of missing students in the Labyrinth until eight days have passed. After this long, most of the missing students will likely be found dead, if they are found at all.

The Campus Watch was created by Alvin Godfrey in an attempt to protect the weaker underclassmen of Kimberly Academy from the dangers of its Labyrinth. It is an unofficial, voluntary organization entirely run by students without support from the Kimberly administration or instructors.
Battle of Diama

The **Battle of Diama** took place in the year 300 of the Old Calendar between the ancient nation-states Rumoa and Kurtoga.

## History

Diama was said to be a clash between "*two famous generals deeply connected by fate*".

Rumoa's general attempted to lure his opposite number into a trap, but Kurtoga countered this by placing a force of swordrhinos at the front of their army. The Rumoans foiled the attempt by opening gaps in their lines for the swordrhinos to harmlessly pass through.

Rumoan infantry broke through the first line of Kurtogans but the second, composed of Kurtoga's best troops, held firm and began to push the enemy footmen back. At the same time, Kurtoga withdrew their cavalry to lure the Rumoans' away to the sides. Unfortunately, the Kurtogan cavalry were caught and defeated, and the Rumoans returned to the field and devastated the Kurtogan infantry with a flanking charge.

### The Battle of Hell's Armies

At some point, the second layer of the labyrinth under Kimberly Magic Academy became host to the Battle of Hell's Armies, which eternally recreates the Battle of Diama and is used to test would-be entrants to the third layer. Pete Reston, a habitual bookworm, learned about the battle while doing research and told it to Oliver Horn, who was able to use it to come up with a plan for himself, Michela McFarlane, and Nanao Hibiya to defeat the Rumoan cavalry charge and win the battle.

## Trivia

* The Battle of Diama is based on the historical Battle of Zama, fought in 202 BCE in modern-day northern Tunisia between Generals Hannibal Barca and Scipio Africanus, which decided the Second Punic War in favor of the Roman Republic. The "swordrhinos" of the novel are stand-ins for the war elephants commonly used by Carthaginian armies.

Since first attending Kimberly Magic Academy, he forms a strong bond with the Sword Roses, who support him in his learning about the magical world and becoming stronger in it.

## Background

Pete was born to a nonmagical family. He was admitted to Kimberly on the non-magical quota after passing the entrance exam.

Pete wears a dark colored vest underneath his outer robe.

He is left-handed.

## Personality

He is a diligent and honest person, despite his stubborn and grumpy appearance.

Emma

**Emma** was a nonmagical serving girl who worked for Joseph Albright's family in approximately the 1520s.

## Background

Emma was the daughter of a family who worked as servants on the Albright estate, and was assigned to their heir Joseph as a caretaker. The two of them grew to be friends and regularly played chess. Initially Joseph always won; however, Emma was determined to improve and sought advice from the adults of the house, and eventually she defeated him. However, when Joseph told his parents about her victory the next morning, they punished him with a pain curse followed by a severe beating lasting most of a day. He discovered afterwards that Emma had fared much worse: to erase the perceived shame of their heir's defeat, they had murdered her along with her entire family.

## Trivia

* Joseph's servant was unnamed in the light novel and was only described in exposition. The manga depicts her but doesn't name her. A flashback in episode 1x11 of the anime names the character "Emma".

Its focus lies in techniques deeply rooted in groundwork, involving the manipulation of terrain through territorial magic and adeptly predicting an opponent's actions for effective counterattacks. The names of territorial magic techniques mentioned in the text are those handed down within the Lanoff School, reflecting its emphasis on terrain manipulation and the comprehensive 'Ground Form.' Oliver demonstrates remarkable proficiency as a legitimate practitioner of the Lanoff School, excelling in techniques like "Encounter" and "Hidden Tail," both of which revolve around anticipating and skillfully countering the adversary's assaults.

Vera Miligan

* Student Uniform
* LN
* Anime

**Vera Miligan** (ヴェラ＝ミリガン, *Vuera Mirigan*) is a fourth year student at Kimberly Magic Academy.

A witch who supports demi-human rights.

## Background

Her parents had transplanted the cursed eye **The cursed eye of a basilisk** into her when she was young.While knowing she was 90 percent likely to die, and she still called it “love.” Thus,she showed her love for demi-humans in the same way. Believing the results of her research would ultimately save them, she never batted an eye at the countless sacrifices.

Fought Oliver and his friends over Katie but has since taken an interest in the group.

In 1533, Miligan announced her candidacy for student council president, hoping to continue the policies of Alvin Godfrey. She was opposed by Percival Whalley, a supporter of the old council.

## Appearance

Miligan has gray hair that is cut asymmetrically across her face, hiding her left eye. The rest of it is worn to her shoulders. Her visible eye is gold.

Miligan wears the Kimberly girls' uniform. The girls' uniform consists of a gray collared shirt with black trim, silver buttons, and a necktie in her year's color, coupled with a dark navy blue button skirt. Over this, she wears a black robe with silver trim, and lining matching their necktie. It is coupled with large leather straps that wrap over her right shoulder and reach down at her sides which holsters a wand and athame, respectively.

## Personality

Miligan is a friendly and easy-going person in many ways. She is comfortable around others, sometimes teasing and joking with others in ways that push the boundaries of politeness.

Her belief that what her parents did to her was out of love has warped her ability to show kindness and love to others. Though she genuinely does believe in giving demi-humans civil rights, her methods are twisted and come from a place of believing that they need to measure up to humans to be accepted. This logic and the atmosphere at Kimberly led her to ignore the obvious pain she was putting them through, as she thought the ends justified the means.

In spite of her twisted nature, she is a good mentor to younger students when she takes an interest in them.
