Employing mana without spells is supposed to be impossible, but there's one person who can do it. Monica Everett had no choice but to develop a whole new form of magic of her own, because she is so painfully shy that she is often rendered unable to speak when in the presence of others. Her spell-less magic has earned her the nickname 'The Silent Witch' and she has gotten so good at it that she has earned a place as one of the Seven Sages, the top mages in the Kingdom of Ridill. Being as shy as she is, she prefers to remain alone but is drafted to serve as a bodyguard for the Second Prince at Serendia Academy--without his knowledge.

Silent Witch
(One episode watched):
Episode one sets up the premise: Monica is a first-class witch with a disability that is both painful and laughable. We are told that in worst-case scenarios she may vomit or faint in the presence of strangers (though I have a feeling that that will never happen). She doesn't find herself in such a situation in episode one, so it wasn't clear how seriously to take this problem. She'll be pretending to be a servant of Lady Isabelle Norton, a high-ranking young noblewoman, (maybe daughter of the King himself?) who knows who she really is and promises to treat her in a very realistic (i.e, unpleasant) manner. Her job, of course, will be to protect Prince Felix; why he needs such an extraordinary bodyguard isn't made clear. There's a fairly lengthy bit about how a magical brooch which was made to help keep track of the Prince malfunctioned; this must have been included for some reason. This scheme might just work because for all her fame Monica has always avoided attention as much as possible and most people have no idea what she looks like (and she's only 16). She'll be accompanied by her cat familiar. Episode one left me feeling undecided about this show; it wasn't clear how seriously I was supposed to take Monica's social anxiety, and it is about the only personality she has so far. The scheme to insert her into the Serendia Academy might be fun or it might not. As I often say, in order to be a success the first episode of a new series has got to leave me with some questions that I want answers to, and in this case I can't really think of any. But I suppose it was good enough to be worth watching episode two.
