July 2016 Archmage Tournament

[DUEL Specter]

The July 2016 Archmage Tournament will be held on Sunday, July 17th at 8:00pm Eastern! The format will most likely be double elimination (depending on entrants), and late entrants have no more than 5 minutes to arrive. Seeding will begin at 8:05pm, and casting will begin at 8:10pm.

Seeding will be based on the most recent RoK rankings. Early registration will cut off on Friday, July 15th at 8:00pm. Any late registrants or walk-ins will automatically be ranked below early registrants. Registrants tied with the same ranking will be seeded by WoL.

Please post your registrations as replies to this thread. Good luck everyone!

((It's worked well, so we will adhere to a 5 minute casting limit each round in order to try and keep the tourney from running too late. Exceeding 5 minutes once will result in a friendly reminder from the caller. Anything after that will result in a mis-cast, meaning no spell was invoked and the opponent's spell scores for maximum damage. After a mis-cast, the duelist is still not allowed to use whatever spell they most recently used. That way the mis-cast does not serve as a type of disengage. In the case anyone needs more than 5 minutes for an urgent/special circumstance, please alert the caller, opponent, and the room so they they know you need a few minute and will return asap. Any questions, you know where to find me. Thanks!))

Out of two competitors... Twilight Isle's newest Mage, Lilith, wins two out of three against former Archmage Xanth Van Bokkelen!

First match: Xanth wins 6-5
Second Match: Lilith wins 5-2
Third match: Lilith wins 5-1.5

Get to work on scheduling that challenge and good luck to everyone!

The Archmage and I have agreed to meet on Friday the 22nd at 10 RT (ET). The Anvil's calling.

[DUEL Specter]

( Lilith has the magespell of immolation which is currently not listed on the standings. Please link this notice to the chat before the challenge starts so that both caller and Rachael know of the spell. )

[DUEL Anvil]

From beneath the chosen ring, a rumbling overtakes the Isle. A thunderous sound precedes the mountain that bursts forth, rising just above all the other rings as the ground around the peak drops deep into the earth, creating a mountain's depths all around the ring and casting an ethereal, celestial light across the others. Clouds and thunder, lightning and wild tempests surround the ring and fill the pit where earth, air, fire, and water all come into being and play a part in the overpowering forces that the Archmage and his/her opponent clash with. Endless tiny, faintly lit stars float listlessly across the battleground of the Archmage; most powerful of the casters.

He makes his way back to the couch and turns on his headset. "Welcome to tonight's Main Event! Lilith is taking her challenge gained at the last tournament and putting it at Rachael's feet. I am The Anvil... and I bring to Ring Olympus... Fire!

(Bat Outta Hell .def. Rachael Douglas, 5-3.5 in 9 Match 1 AM Challenge!)

"I need to make this a little more interesting up there." He's leaning towards Rena and reaching for the hammer that fell under the table. Concentrating hard on it, as the illusion of a small black hole appears in the ring and starts the tiny stars to swirling around it!

Olympus Two 15: Once upon a time, there were two powerful wizardesses! They came from two different places. They asked if anyone was crazy enough to officiate a match between them... then they went to the funny farm and found The Anvil! 

Lilith has high hopes of being elevated! Rach has the duty to put her down!! With all her will, Rachael attacked that would be... that upstart!
 
Then the fog rolled in and well nobody saw what the heck Lilith did but she was the one standing in the end! (MW/FF)

(Bat Outta Hell .def. Rachael Douglas, 5-4 in 15 AM Challenge Match 2)

Within the ring that tiny black hole expands exponentially sucking in all that comes close, including Ring Olympus, leaving the fighters standing in just a normal old ring again!

Congratulations Lilith on winning The Celestial Key!

Well Reigned Rachael!

[Rena A Cronin]

As promised...a bit late...but there was a delivery to the Celestial Tower to Andrea. She would have to watch the movies to figure out what Jochin was talking about though.
