 Three additional spin-off manga were also created (one of them also localized by Seven Seas Entertainment), as were three visual novels.The nobles of Halkeginia are magicians known as "mages" or "magi", and must use a wand or a staff to cast spells.Not all magi are nobles, as some have been forcibly demoted or given up their nobility and use their magic for thievery or to work as mercenaries.
