The Art of Arcane Dueling

Mage Duel - Nature and Destruction by Gjaldir

 

[!] A public document is printed in Sutica. It may make its way around the world for anyone else to view and use. This document seems to be a set of rules on a small game of dueling.

 

 

To show one's ability in their respective evocations is considered an honor among mages who take pride in their combative skills. To ensure that such a duel is done safely and fairly a fine set of rules and guidelines have been created and agreed upon by various parties - This concept would then be named “Arcane Dueling”. To duel is to not only test a mage's ability in the arcane but to put it to practice. One may be a long time mage wise with age however they may be outdone by another who certainly has the chance to outwit them. 

Dueling is done by conjuring a weaker variation of one's evocation in specific shapes. These shapes determine not only the power but the speed and angle that these spells are sent at. Due to the nature of the shapes despite whatever evocation has been used one shape of fire may outdo water. This allows all mages to compete in an even fair battle of wits.

 

A field should set set where two mages may stand ten or so steps away from one another and ready themselves. They will begin to prepare their spell and upon the count of three they will both send their spells at one another at the same time. Typically in a formal event there is a referee to ensure that both spells are fired at the same time.

 

The Rules:

There are five shapes that one may create lesser evocation in. These shapes are “Spheres” - “ Discs” “Bolts” “Beams” and “Arc”. 

 

A Chart of all Dueling Spells

 

Spheres will break: Bolts & Arcs

 

Discs will break: Spheres & Beams

 

Bolts will break: Discs & Arcs

 

Beams will break: Spheres & Bolts

 

Arcs will break: Beams & Discs

 

 

• If the mages cast the same spell they will collide and have a forceful standoff. Both players would roll to determine who can withhold the spell and win.

 

• The mages shall conjure their evocation shapelessly and upon the count of three cast forth their spell as a particular shape. The mage struck successfully and thus lost the first round of the duel.

 

• These spells are to be rendered harmless only able to apply little damage else the other duelist will be disqualified. This would be small burns, cuts or being knocked over.

 

• Participants should be ten steps away. They will send their spells out at the same time when indicated and before they must both announce they are ready.
  • (This is best done by pre-making your emote of sending your spell out, then someone counts from 3. Upon "Go" both parties with paste their emotes in at the same time to ensure its done fairly.)

 

• There will be three rounds. The first one to win two of the three rounds will be deemed the winner of the duel.

OOC Disclaimers:
This is a flavorful game of 5 way rock paper scissors. A quick game that allows Voidal Mages to have some fun and quick duels without complexities and too much thought. 

This will all be cast with the “Create Art” spell - it is a flavorful way to duel one another. These shapes will not provide any advantage in legitimate Combative Roleplay. This also means your persona will need at least one Evocation or a wand enchanted for such to participate.
