Nathan Westwind has presented the framework for a new and exciting form of Wand Combat for Wizard Duels.
I am attempting to gauge interest for a Spellcasters Duel, either in a Bracket or more traditional "grand melee".
The rules would be a modified "Caldarian Style", specifically:
-Entrants must be capable of casting earth or celestial spells.
-Ritual Effects, Battle Magic Scrolls, Weapons, Armor, Alchemy, and Alchemical effects are prohibited.
-Circle of power, and self cast prisons are prohibited during the competition.
-All High Magic is to be allowed. This allows for Celestial Armor, where Arcane Armor is otherwise disallowed.
- Entrants may not have any spell protectives active on them before the start of any event. Protectives may be kept from one match to the next.
Incapacitated entrants are considered eliminated, and will be removed from the field immediately. They may not be brought back into the competition by fixing their incapacitation.
Incapacitation will be considered any and all of the following - unconsciousness, bound, webbed, confined, imprisoned, dead, paralyzed, sleeping, Silenced (unless capable of using a weapon in a competition where allowed) High magic is allowed to be used to remove an incapacitated condition from oneself, but must be done immediately upon receiving the effect. "Possuming" of any kind is disallowed.
Strict Caldarian rules allow for the use of wands. However, given that there is a separate Wand oriented competition, I will be disallowing the use of wands in this contest. If there is sufficient outcry, wands can be reinstated.
Also, Tar'Navaria seems to be able to grant magical abilities or gifts from the vary land itself. Use of any of these powers would be disallowed in this competition.
This will be one of the following:
-Ladder style single elimination tournament with random starting positions for each round, Random bye on first round only if necessary. (my preference)
-More traditional "Grand Mages Melee" with all entrants on a field with defined parameters.
I am unsure of local laws and customs for your Festival. If this competition violates no local laws I wish to find out who I need to speak to, in order to get permission to run this. My goal is to impact the scheduled events a little as possible by running this myself, foregoing my own entry.
If permission is granted, I will likely charge an entry fee with the prize money being split as follows: 1st place gets half of pool. 2nd place gets one quarter of the pool, with the remaining quarter being given to a charity of Baron Ivan Drake's choosing.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions.
Thank you,
