but a mage rune familiar to some as that of the Elven wizard Sirion Te'dwa.

Mages of the Sword Coast
I am once again asking you to join me for an evening of mageduels, this time in Warrior's Rest on the Way of the Lion.
Expect a tournament with some kind of reward for the winner. Registering in advance is not required but since pairings will be made before the tournament begins, please be there in good time!
Be there in the evening, 22nd of Flamerule.
Rules and information follow below.
(( July 23 @ 17 UTC - link ))

Mageduel rules:
1) Attack only with spells, including weapons conjured in the duel and magical shapechange.
2) You may hold a magic weapon not conjured for its effects, but not attack with it.
3) You may make use of scrolls, wands and other magic items so long as they do not attack directly. For example, a scroll to conjure a weapon or creature.
4) When you would normally have died, you are out of the duel.
5) When you leave the circle, you are out of the duel. The last to remain inside the circle has won.
6) The duel also ends when both parties declare it to be a draw.
Rules to abide by in Warrior's Rest:
1) Do not cause damage to the establishment in any way.
2) Do not harass or scare the staff and patrons of the inn.
3) No undead and no outsiders.
4) We have been told it would be appreciated if we abstained from casting "evil energy spells" and given the example of Abyssal might, that conjures energy from the Abyss.
The infirmary and its healers are available to us, and the arena has been paid for for three hours. If anybody chooses to stay longer than that, feel free to tell them it was my fault - Sirion
Beginning the duel:
I) Agree on a number of up to 3 wards.
II) After a count, cast your wards or wait as long as it takes you to cast them.
III) Then enter the arena and attack.
Quickening one's wards is allowed but considered by many to be against the spirit of the mageduel.
(( OOC note on AoE spells and damage: RP wise nothing should leave lasting damage or affect anyone outside the duel. But since the room is pretty cramped, you might consider holding back on huge AoE spells cause you will hit the audience OOC xD ))
