August 2024 Archmage Tournament

[Claire Gallows]

It's that time again!

The June Archmage Tournament will be held on Sunday, August 18th at 8:00pm Eastern! The format will (likely) be double elimination (depending on entrants), and late entrants have no more than 5 minutes to arrive. Seeding will begin at 8:05pm, and casting will begin at 8:10pm.

Seeding will be based on the most recent RoK rankings. Early registration will cut off on Friday, August 16th at 8:55pm ET. Any late registrants or walk-ins will automatically be ranked below early registrants. Registrants tied with the same ranking will be seeded by WoL.


Second place will also take home an additional prize in the form of the Keeper's Blessing.

Keeper's Blessing

1. Allows the wielder of this grant the ability to use a special one time use Elemental Fury crystal within a challenge against a Keeper. This crystal will allow its wielder the use of Elemental Fury up to three times within a challenge (should the challenge go to 3 full duels). The power of the Elemental Fury Crystal can only be used once per match. The Keeper's Blessing is available for use until the next Archmage Tournament.

2. Allows the wielder to submit the Blessing to the Duel of Magic staff to be redeemed for a Challenge Grant that can be awarded to any non-Sorcerer duelist of their choice. This grant will allow its wielder to challenge one of the four elemental keeper titles so long as the keeper is not under a grace period. This grant must be used within 14 days.


All participants will receive a Fortune's Flower to take home. These magic flowers are said to bring good luck and are often given as gifts at weddings. You can pull off and drop one of the flower's five petals. When you do, there is a 10 percent chance that the petal glimmers in a flash of light as a rune is burnt into it, recreating the effects of the "augury" spell. When it does, 1d6 new "fortune's flowers" grow at that petal's location after 30 days if the ground is suited for growth. The plant has no seeds and can't be repotted for travel. An unpicked "fortune's flower" regrows one flower every year. Once picked, the flower can survive up to 7 days before it withers and dies.

Please post your registrations as replies to this thread. Good luck everyone!



(( Should 2nd place go to a current Elemental Keeper, they can only select the second option to give the grant away, and cannot select the EF crystal since they're already a Keeper.

This is a reminder that we do have a 5 minute casting limit each round in order to try and keep the tourney from running too late. In the case anyone needs more than 5 minutes for an urgent/special circumstance, please alert the caller, opponent, and the room so that they know you need a few minutes and will return asap. Thanks! ))
