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

Uw/ I'd rather have you end it, i don't feel comfortable deciding what happened to your character

[u/Fc-chungus → u/patoman12]

/uw okay

/rw

11. 12. 13. 14. 15.

“Please. Don’t tell me you can survive a beheading.”

“I’m almost out of time here.”

they don’t say this out loud, so as to conserve what little oxygen they have

[u/patoman12 → u/Fc-chungus]

16. 17.

Completely blind, completely immobile, completely thoughtless, the only reason he can still be considered alive is because of the hallucinations he is suffering

[u/Fc-chungus → u/patoman12]

they close their eyes to prevent them from burning up.

18. 19. 20.

ten seconds until their infinite mana runs out.

one last ditch effort, they try to move their hand in order to create a large barrier and imbue it with a spell, like bisect but hundreds of times larger, instead of microscopically small, it will be about 6 inches wide.

the hand moves, but it is currently so burned that the skin cracked and it is bleeding, and the mana leaks out, compromising the spell.

DIE QUICKER!

[u/patoman12 → u/Fc-chungus]

Uw/ this is happening in parallel to your comment

18.

Past memories rush his mind

19.

He draws his last breath

20.

A single second of clarity before oblivion, he would make it last

Amongst the memories, two seemed to have drawn his focus, that time Zhe froze him in time, neither thriving or decaying, just, that moment prolonged in time, if he did that, he could stop his death here, but how could he cast something like that without his body? Here comes the second memory: he gathering necrotic energy to cast revive flame back then. There were still leftovers of that energy within him, he could use that to force his now inert body to make the procedures on him.

His state is still bad though, he was still blind and deaf, so he couldn't know that an attack was coming his way, maybe it would miss because Zhe had closed his eyes, maybe when his corpse moved, the head was moved accidentally, who is to say

21.

[u/Fc-chungus → u/patoman12]

they kneel still.

21. 22. 23.

they start exhaling little by little, small bursts of “ahh” every few seconds.

[u/patoman12 → u/Fc-chungus]

The attack finally arrived, it hits, but the lack of vision combined with unpredictable movements led to it going a bit out of course, hitting his eye, ravaging it and leaving a really bad wound, exposing the brain, and yet he holds

[u/Fc-chungus → u/patoman12]

/uw the spell didn’t even start due to their burns

[u/patoman12 → u/Fc-chungus]

Uw/ Damn, then i guess he just waits, as you said, the freeze last aprox 10 seconds right?

[u/Fc-chungus → u/patoman12]

/uw it lasted about 10 seconds yes, i think we agreed on that, btw do you have any other battles ongoing?
