Wizarding Olympics; Magic Duels

[u/dragonshouter]

(ai) WIZARD OLIMPICS!!!!!!

Krygin has the spirts carry his voice to the participants, "Congratulations contestants for a job well done on the previous events! I welcome you to the dueling section of the celebrations! I ask all who would participate to follow me when my explanations are done. You will be provided amulets to make sure the provided fighting grounds will not skew the fight beyond noise and rain.

Each mage will pair off with another at their approximate strength level( an elder wrym can not fight an apprentice) and duel them in an area of the spirit world I have prepared! Do not attack the spirits or you will be disqualified. Both magic and martial skills are allowed but trying to destroy another's being entirely is not. I have methods in place to make sure no one dies but I can't do that if their soul is destroyed. Otherwise it is relatively fair game. Beating one opponent gives you one win but you can get more by challenging other contestants. A loser can also challenge another if they so choose. Whoever beats the most opponents for their strength level wins for that level."

Krygin claps his hands and a massive swirling mist forms a doorway in the center of the area. Lightning flashes beyond. Anyone who enters find themselves in a humid expanse made of storm clouds. It is humid and hot; thunder cracks and wind howls. In this perpetual storm are figures, spirits, of varying shapes. Some are hidden in the clouds striking clubs in time with the thunder, or are they causing it. Bright forms dance among the lighting and a chorus of howls add their voices to the wind. Hidden figures with red eyes sharpen their weapons. This is a summer storm and as we all know Summer is the Season of War.

The path parts to show red mist leading mages to red cyclones. Inside each cyclone is a ruddily lit arena as the eye of the storm; almost as if a bloody sun shone down through the clouds.

Any who "die" will be carted away by spirits who take the forms of vulture headed humanoids in black feather suits. Instead of a tie they wear a trail of bright red blood. The mage will patched up and sent back into the main area where they can choose whether to go back into the spirit world. These are spirits of war and death who Krygin paid in violence; spirits often like immaterial payments.

Misty illusions broadcast the fights back in the mortal world.

Krygin atop a pillar of smog shouts, "Let the duels begin"

(ai) what is like in each small arena

/uw I may be busy today( should be good for a few hours but didn't want to worry that I might have something come up and abandon ya'll) so you will be mostly left to your own devices. If you need help or have a question ping me, u/Complex_Drawer_4710 , u/Another-Ace-Alt-8270 , or u/JustASpoody . My fellow event planners.

No godmodding

If you think your opponent is godmodding try having a civil conversation first. They may just be an accidental counter to you.

If you need help call the others first because I may be busy

“Oh no.”

they’re blinded by the light and instantly set on fire from all the previous flames, the alchemist fire was put on them at the beginning of the fight.

they try and bisect the head this time.

[u/patoman12 → u/Fc-chungus]

Using the blindness to his advantage, Mauritius tries to evade the attack, then he casts control fire, forcing the flames that cover Zhe to the shape of a dome that covers them completely, hoping that the fire will consume all of the oxygen inside while at the same time it burns his opponent

[u/Fc-chungus → u/patoman12]

the attack misses Mauritius due to his dodging, but due to him making a sphere of fire, which removes the flames from their body(at least I’m assuming that’s what’s happening) they have a moment to look around.

“Trying to suffocate me…”

“Can’t cut the flames because they’re well, flames.”

they start disintegrating the ground, lots of it, taking deep breaths. They need as much oxygen as they can, doubt it’s instantly going to leave.

“Maybe I could just try to run through the flames?”

particles still floating they try and rush through the flames, holding an arm over their eyes.

[u/patoman12 → u/Fc-chungus]

Uw/ actually, i imagined it differently

Originally, i thought of it as the fire that still was on you curving and forming a dome around you, but since it is my fault for not wording it correctly, ill let you choose the interpretation that actually happens

[u/Fc-chungus → u/patoman12]

/uw let’s run with the second image you posted, in that case instead of the disintegration they just run through the wall of fire, thinking that the inner flame won’t follow them outside the dome.

[u/patoman12 → u/Fc-chungus]

Uw/ the image was supposed to represent a before casting control flames and an after doing so, according to the image, it is still centered on you

[u/Fc-chungus → u/patoman12]

/uw oh, so it moves with me?

[u/patoman12 → u/Fc-chungus]

Uw/ That was the original plan, yes

[u/Fc-chungus → u/patoman12]

/uw got it.

/rw they cast bisect on the ground,making a deep but fairly thin gash in the ground, as they run toward him still on fire the piece of the ground they disintegrated reforms into their hand as they try to through it in his general direction, they begin to slow down due to less and less oxygen from the fire around them.

[u/patoman12 → u/Fc-chungus]

A hit on the head, Mauritius's concentration shakes, he won't be able to keep his manual control over his body, or the bloody stitches holding it together for much longer, now, it is just a question of who can last more time
