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!

It was my honor and privilege to officiate this match between Archmage Salvador Delahada and Keeper of Water Gillette Brooke.

The first match of the challenge moved quickly with Gillette, the Keeper of Water, trying to find her feet. Salvador dominated throughout this match. Gillette scored one point in Round 2 which saved her from a shut out. Despite calling on the Tower of Water in Round 5, a comeback was not in the cards for her.

Gillette rallied in match two to give the Archmage a run for the money. She brought water and lightning out to play. Unfortunately for the challenger, Sal has long since learned to command sand and lightning which provided an excellent counterbalance.

The Archmage opted to not use Ring Olympus for this challenge. By virtue of winning two matches in succession, Sal retains his right to continue as Archmage and Celestial Keeper.
