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. ))





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! ))

Merry Holidays, Twilight Isle!

Now that I've had some time to recuperate from my victory, and all the not necessarily related partying that happened thereafter, I hereby invoke my right as the winner of the December 2024 Archmage Tournament to issue challenge to Doran Ilnaren for the Key to the Citadel of the Stars and title of Archmage!

Let's dance, Doran!

This challenge happened tonight and it was very exciting!

The challenger was Sheridan 'Dris' Driscol, taking his most recent shot at grabbing hold of the Celestial Key. Defending the title tonight was Doran Ilnaren, looking for his first defense of the Archmage title.

Exercising his right as Archmage, Doran opted to fight all fights in the specialty ring, Olympus! Alighting to the heights of the great ring, both fighters used their musical magic in what felt as much like a concert as a magic fight!

Dris jumped on the board in the first fight, and steadily built up a lead with three unanswered points through the fourth round! Doran got on the board in the fifth and started to claw back until things were tied up in the ninth round! The Archmage's onslaught didn't stop there, with Doran hitting match point just two rounds later. But with a powerful musical dragon, Dris surged past and took the win!

FINAL: BardGallant def. Doran Ilnaren, 5 - 4 in 12 rounds.

Doran was first on the board in the second fight! The fight remained close through four rounds before Doran started to pull away. By the sixth round he'd amassed a three point lead and hit match point! With a symphonic climax, Doran took the win!

FINAL: Doran Ilnaren def. BardGallant, 5.5 - 1 in 7 rounds.

Bard was back on the board first in the final and decisive fight! By the third round he'd built up a tidy lead, but Doran fought back, crooning his way to the top of Olympus. He hit match point in the eighth round! And while Dris held on for one more round, Doran ultimately took the win and secured his first defense of the Archmage title!

FINAL: Doran Ilnaren def. BardGallant, 5.5 - 3 in 10 rounds.

Congratulations, Doran on the defense! And well fought Dris!
