Nova is a location in Magical Starsign. It is the planet of the light starsign, existing inside the sun of the Baklava solar system. Nova shares the same physical space as the dark planet Shadra, but in another dimension that connects to Shadra through the Starway. It is a tiny planet made of limestone that contains Sparklin Palace, the abode of the queen of light who created the world. Nova is also home to luminites, the queen of light's loyal subjects, and Dancing Fruits who parade around Sugarleaf Plains. To reach Nova, one must abandon their physical body either by projecting their soul, or by using the etherealization process.

History

| Reason: Needs to be completed |
Nova was among the first planets of the Baklava solar system to be created by the queen of light, the personification of the big bang. It formed at the heart of the universe inside the Baklava system's sun, where the first consciousness split into a consciousness of light and another of darkness.
After ages of creation and destruction, the people of wood were born from a tempest, carrying all the power of those who lived before them. They sang a song that shook their world, and the sun emitted five streams of light that gave power to the planets. The wood peoples' king, named Vermicelli, soared between the planets and set foot inside the sun, where he met the queen of light. The queen joined Vermicelli in song, encouraging him to sing against his own self-doubt. Overwhelmed, Vermicelli fled to a cave where he sang the song of the end. His melody rained chaos upon the Baklava system, until the people joined the light of the five planets to create Kovomaka. The queen then created life for Kovomaka before sending it to the far reaches of outer space.
Millions of years later, Shadra experienced a peak in magical energy while orbiting the sun, causing a new sun to form around it. Shadra's sun was absorbed by Nova's, overlapping each other in parallel dimensional spaces. The moment they merged, the Starway, Phunnel Pit, and Glissini Caves were spontaneously created to bridge the gap in dimensions. However, the rift at the bottom of Glissini Caves was sealed shut by an obstruction of mass and plasma, but could be opened again with planetary energy.
Trivia
- Nova's Japanese name Shary (シャリィ Sharyi) is also the name of a potfolk from Torūna Village in Magical Vacation. However, it is more directly translated as Shari in the English fan translation.
- According to Fondue, Craaken's teachings state that the land beneath the sun's atmosphere is actually habitable. Only the atmosphere is hot because it is made of plasma, a form of high-energy matter produced from water, wind, and fire.
