PRIZE POOL
Winter’s Fury
This orb of hardened aether has been enchanted with all the magic and fury of the Winter season. When utilizing it, a spellcaster may invoke spells such as Deep Freeze, Aurora Beam, and Snowblind. Use of the orb chills the air within a small radius, causing visible breath and frost patterns to appear, and frost trails behind the user’s footsteps.
(( This item allows its holder to utilize Elemental Fury (EF) in regulation duels until the next All Ranks Tournament. It cannot be used in challenges. ))
Comfort & Joy
This pair of icy daggers was forged by a legendary faery smith, who has chosen to remain nameless. When used together, the daggers can summon healing light or a swirling vortex of snow to disorient foes. Used separately, each dagger has power pertinent to its name, utilizing protective and celebratory magics.
These daggers always know each other’s location with ten square miles and will gently pull toward each other like compass needles. If separated, they work to reunite. They are strongest when used during the winter season.
Globe of Sanctuary
An enchanted snow globe that showcases a very cozy scene of a snow-covered cabin in the woods. When the trigger phrase is uttered, the wielder is transported into this scene. Inside, it is always the holiday season, and there are self-replenishing rations and firewood. A person or creature can survive for up to a fortnight before the globe must be allowed to rest and recharge.
The trigger phrase is unique to whomever holds the globe.
Frost Phoenix Egg
A rare, magical egg that looks to be made of crystal and features hoarfrost and feather patterns on it. When it hatches, it produces a loyal companion bird that appears to be made of living ice and blue flame. As a youngling, this bird will be able to create small ice crystals, snow flurries, and other minor magical feats. Its power is sure to grow as it ages.
Frost phoenixes are said to only hatch during the winter season. They apparently love holiday sweets and hot cocoa.
Bell of Levitation
This golden bell is etched with winter runes and the likeness of reindeer. When rung, it allows its user to float and glide through the air for up to 10 minutes at a time, leaving a trail of sparkles and snowflakes in the air behind them. Its use has a side effect of turning the wielder’s nose a glowing shade of red, but this effect only seems to last for an hour or so.
Pocket Revelers
A band of tiny, animated Nutcracker soldiers that march around playing festive music. Once they have learned to trust their wielder, they can be used as little helpers to organize or count small objects, spy on friends and foes, and much more.
LAST MINUTE ADDITION!!
Twin Wins Scroll
This scroll functions as a special pass to be used at the end of a regulation night of duels. Every Duel of Magic duel that its holder fought throughout the night will be doubled! The choice to utilize this scroll does not need to be made ahead of the evening, but it can instead be used after any single evening the holder wishes.
The Twin Wins Scroll may be used during the cycle it is gained or during the following cycle. Choose your night wisely, for it can only be used once and a duelist can only hold one scroll at a time
(( To utilize this scroll, duel as normal and when you have a particularly winning night, contact Gatito (Partly Cloudy) or Dris (BardGallant) to let them know which night you wish to double. ))
