Will-o'-Wisp Academy

Will-o'-Wisp Academy of Magic is a recurring location in the Magical Vacation series. It is a magic school in the Material Realm located on the planet Kovomaka, situated at the heart of Kovomaka Kingdom. In Magical Starsign, it also serves as an Amigo Dungeon.

History
Three centuries before Magical Vacation, magic and spirits were not well known among the people of the Material Realm, especially on Kovomaka. An enlightened magician named Biscotti would eventually unleash magic unto the realm, then founded Will-o'-Wisp Academy to propagate the teaching of magic to Kovomaka Kingdom's people. Biscotti had also fused with the enigma king Yuvick around this time, which greatly amplified his abilities. His main interest was the way in which enigmas used magic, and so wanted to learn more despite being incredible powerful already. Soon thereafter, an enigma named Kerendu, who had taken Yuvick's place as the king, seized control of the enigmas and attempted to invade the Material Realm, but Biscotti used his fusion with Yuvick as a way to ward off Kerendu's forces.

Biscotti's plan was to have people from around the world enroll at the academy, and train them until they became full-fledged magicians. Students who graduated from Will-o'-Wisp typically found jobs that served the Kingdom of Kovomaka, the most common one being recruited as a soldier for the royal army. By having skilled magicians on the front lines, the Kingdom had enough power to fight back against anything that posed a threat to Kovomaka Kingdom. At first, Biscotti was reluctant to deliberately make students encounter enigmas and endanger their lives, but seeing as one fifth of Will-o'-Wisp graduates fused with enigmas anyway, he figured that such encounters would help awaken students to their true magic potential.
