Wistoria: Wand and Sword Episode 7 recap
The episode commences with Elfaria's aide-de-camp, Sarissa, asking her to review a list of the potential talents recommended by the Ice Faction's scouts. The faction feels among the talented mages, Julius Reinberg has the highest potential to become Elfaria's successor.
Following that, the episode switches to the Grand Magic Festival, where Will Serfort faces Julius and his teammates. The ice mage casts a smokescreen and attacks Will from all directions. Soon, the boy realizes that there are five Julius in the stadium.
The ice mage makes one of his clones explode in front of Will to immobilize him. The episode reveals that Julius's spell is called Ars Weiss, which lets him create living ice sculptures of himself.
Apparently, the spell belongs to El Glace Frosse, a set of 12 secret ice magic arts crafted by Elfaria Albis Serfort to get recognized as a Magia Vander. Ars Weiss is the first spell out of the 12 ones. The episode reveals that Julius Reinberg learned the spell by himself.
Though he can only use a fragment of their power, Julius thinks he has reached the heights of a Magia Vander. Soon after that, he badmouths Elfaria, which infuriates Will. The boy charges at Julius, but the ice mage traps him in his ice cage and drops Xelunea Caulis, a devastating ice attack on him.
Yet to Julius's surprise, Will Serfort survives the attack. The magicless boy counters the Ice mage's spells and incapacitates his two team members. Suddenly, the ice clones fall apart. It is revealed that Julius hasn't mastered Ars Weiss.
He could only maintain the clones through his teammates' amplification magic. At the same time, Julius finds out from Will that Elfaria created Ars Weiss at the age of two. Will's revelation turns the world upside down for Julius as he feels humiliated.
With a heavy blow to his pride, he summons eight clones instead of four. However, Will reveals that he used to tackle ten Elfaria clones in childhood. The episode then shows Will Serfort swiftly eliminating each ice clone before landing a powerful punch in the original Julius's face.
Will's performance shocks the spectators. Yet, even though he wins against Julius, Wignall's team gets to the crown first and thus emerges victorious in the race. The episode ends with Will and Colette sharing a smile over the turn of events.

On the other hand, after defeating Julius in battle, Will gets flooded with invitations from all around the school to join his party. In all these invitations, a girl calls Will to town where he is confronted by Julius and Sion. Is this a sign of their challenge to Will after he humiliated them in the tournament?
