Mispolm is a recurring character and boss in the Mana series. It is part of the eight Benevodons, a group of fearsome & powerful creatures who once laid waste to the world. Mispolm rules over the wood element.

Background[edit]

Since time immemorial, Mispolm roamed the land of Fa'Diel along with its seven other siblings, causing chaos and destruction on their path. When the Mana Goddess came upon Fa'Diel, she wielded whe Mana Sword to the horrible beasts and sealed them into their respective Mana stones. Then, she transformed into the Mana Tree deep inside the Sanctuary where the blade laid on her knotted feet. Meanwhile, the benevodons waited in slumber for aeons until Mana power began to wane as the Mana Tree started to wither.

History[edit]

Trials of Mana[edit]

Mispolm appearing

The shift in Mana was further accelerated by evil factions around the world longing to wield the Mana Sword's power. An emissary of the Goddess was sent from the Sanctuary to the human world in hope of finding someone suitable to defeat the enemy and restore the world back in shape.

A Chosen one was selected by Faerie to gather the elementals and wielding the fabled blade against the evil forces who sought to release Mana power contained within each stone to open the portal to the Sanctuary of Mana. Aided by their comrades, their ultimately failed to prevent their enemy to use the sword to break the seals on the Mana Stones, ushering a new era of despair. Faerie pleaded the party to defeat each benevodon before they combine into an indestructible chimera and they started venturing all over Fa'Diel to locate them.

Mispolm was found deep inside the Woods of Wandara where it tried to destroy the party with its murderous pumpkin bombs. The monstrosity was thankfully defeated by the Chosen and its allies.

The Mispolm's Ring can be found near the benevodon's lair in the remake. It reduces wood-elemental damage inflincted by enemies by half.

Children of Mana[edit]

Illusia Isle fading along with the Benevodons

The recent Mana Surge turned Mispolm into a Malevodon by combining it with Lightgazer to create Galem. The monstrosity was fought in the Starlake as summoned by the Mana Lord, but was eventually defeated, turning the two benevodons into their original states.

Some time after the incident, Dryad told the protagonist to ask Mispolm about various topics concerning the world. The hero headed back to Wonderwood to meet with the spirit of wood and had their questions answered.

At the end of the game, the eight benevodons joined forces to seal Illusia Isle from being found in the mortal realm. It is hinted that the island is was becamed of the Sanctuary of Mana in Trials of Mana.

An optional quest only accessible by completing the game makes the protagonist warp deep into the Cosmic Rift to meet with the eight benevodons for the last time. They gift them the ultimate Gem called Mystic Blessing.

Heroes of Mana[edit]

Roget and crew discover the Mana Stone of wood in Chapter 13: Have-nots Unforgiving right as Flamekhan and Falcon sparred in a duel in the middle of the Woods of Wandara. The mana spirt Dryad appears next to the stone and decides to join the group after chatting with Gnome.

Players can later summon Mispolm by building an Altar of Wood once for each mission. The benevodon deals 400 damage with the added sleep effect to enemies in range.

Rise of Mana[edit]

Mispolm & Zable Fahr are featured as bonus bosses in the mobile phone game Rise of Mana, in which two protagonists from warring species of the Spirit Realm, the divine Rasta and the demonic Daruka, must share a body and learn to cooperate in the physical planes. The demons are all fought in the scion realm.
