October 2024 Archmage Tournament


Calling all Mages! Come out and test your mettle against your peers,
and see who gets the honor of facing our current Archmage!

Late entrants have no more than 5 minutes to arrive.
Seeding will begin at 8:05 pm; casting will begin at 8:10 pm.
Format will be determined by the number of entrants.




Seeding

Determined by the most recent Ring of Klytus (RoK) rankings.
Early registration will be cut off on Friday, October 18th at 9:55 pm ET.
Any late registrants or walk-ins will be ranked below early registrants.
Registrants tied with the same ranking will be seeded by WoL.




Prizes

First Place

The Right to Challenge Our Current Archmage

You are the best of the night! Now go test yourself against the best of the best!

(( Please post the details of the eventual challenge as a response to this thread. ))


Second Place

The Keeper’s Blessing

First Option for Use
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.

— or —

Second Option for Use
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 duelist, ranked Enchanter or Apprentice, 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.

(( Should second 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. ))




All participants will receive a Dreamlight Companion to take home.



Once bonded to its new holder, this little satellite will orbit their person and cast off a gentle glow of moonlight to illuminate paths in dark places. It can also be directed ahead or behind to scout for its holder. When not in use, it is small enough to be slipped into a pocket for safekeeping.


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





(( The Archmage tournament is open only to registrants of Mage or Mage Emeritus rank.
(( In the interest of keeping things running smoothly, we have a 5-minute limit for each round’s casting. If you have an urgent/extenuating circumstance and require more than 5 minutes, please alert the caller, your opponent, and the others in the room so they know you need a little more time and will return as soon as possible. Thanks! ))

I am not entirely sure I can make it, as I have a quest obligation this weekend. But I understand that you would prefer we sign up and not show up, than to show up without signing up. So I'm signing up! See you there, hopefully!

At the request of the Druids,the Archmage and I have rescheduled our challenge for Thursday 10/31, still at 10 p.m. it is their hope that this will provide the mystic energy needed to finally drive the Shadow from Twilight Isle.

After further evaluation the Archdruid has asked that the Challenge be moved back to its original time to coincide with the new moon.

Friday 11/1 at 10 p.m. As one of the Wardens of Twilight Isle, Dris will act as caller.
