 Independent Witch Hat Atelier Wiki

Mystical ruins, sometimes referred to as magical ruins, are locations throughout the Zozah Peninsula warped by forbidden magic. For practical and safety reasons, only witches can access them.

History[edit | edit source]

Most mystical ruins were formed prior to the Day of the Pact as a result of what is now forbidden magic.[1] Due to the inherent danger present in such locations, only witches are permitted access.

The Pointed Cap Witches hold each of their Pentacle of Proving trials at a different mystical ruin to help impart the lessons of history upon young witches, and to hopefully dissuade them from repeating the mistakes of the past.[2]


Examples of such mystical ruins include:

The Dadah Range[edit | edit source]

The location of the first Pentagram Test: The Consent of the Crown.[3] Many ages ago, the King of Dadah wished to look down upon all else, and selfishly transformed the mountains into floating spheres high in the sky.[4] The mountain peaks can now only be accessed via magic.

The Serpentback Cave of Cape Romonon[edit | edit source]

The location of the second Pentagram Test: The Sincerity of the Shield.[5] A cavernous maze created by the ancient people of Romonon to prevent unwanted people from accessing the wealth of their city.[6] The now damaged path prevents myrphons from accessing their breeding grounds without magical intervention.[7]

The Shadow Forest of Thristas[edit | edit source]

A silverwood forest transformed ages ago into a perpetually dark[8] and miasma-filled ruin when the Dark Witch of Thristas attempted to raise the dead.[4]

The Smoky Wastes[edit | edit source]

An unknown, ancient location somewhere in the far north.[4]

The Gaping Maw of the Zozah Straits[edit | edit source]

An unknown, ancient location somewhere in the east.[4]

The Staircase River[edit | edit source]

A river near Qifrey's Atelier that was massively damaged during a rescue attempt by Coco,[9] when she unwittingly used blood magic.[10] It is unclear whether the damage done is irreparable.[11] Like other mystical ruins, access by Outsiders has been barred for safety reasons until further investigation and/or stabilization can be completed.[12][13]
