Beacon80
You sitting in your seat, watching the furious exchange of magic in the Arena below. Your nose wrinkles as you catch a whiff of sulfur, and you hear a small cackle from underneath your seat. Just as you're about to check it out the cackle turns into a screech, and you are engulfed in a pillar of black flames. The pain is excruciating, but the security detail manages to save you. You're taken off to the healing ward for treatment.

Leafsnail
You sit back and let your mind enter the space between spaces. Your eyes turn to the Arena, and you follow the lines of power fueling his spells. There you find a strong aura of
Darkness underlying his power.

Mr.Person
You cast a quick clairvoyant spell and set it to track Neruz. However, he seems intent on watching the duel and you notice nothing interesting in his actions.

Org
You cast a quick summoning spell, and a Fire imp appears underneath Beacon80's seat. You whisper a dark curse at it, and it explodes into a column of screeching black flame. Beacon is rather badly burned before the flames can be extinguished.

Duel
-------
ExKirby walks out into the Arena on the North Side to the cheers of the crowd. He raises his wand aloft and Crimson runes of power form in a circle at his feet. The runes glow bright and begin to swirl around him until a red tornado of energy and air swirls about him.
Apostolic Nihilist walks out into the Arena on the South Side. He raises his staff high in the air and slams it on the ground. Orange runes of power erupt from the ground, and large chunks of earth rise up into the air about him.
As the Marshal of the Games lets loose a blast of multi-colored light to signal the start of the Duel ExKirby jabs his wand forward, and the whirlwind rushes towards Nihilist. The Orange mage holds his staff out before him, and bright runes flare into a shield around him. As the winds die he makes a quick motion with his hand, and a chunk of earth hurtles towards ExKirby. The crimson mage slashes with his wand, and the stone is sent crashing off to the side.
Exkirby then slashes upwards with his wand, sending a cloud of red-tinged dust and air billowing around his opponent. Flickers of orange light shine through the dust, but before Nihilist can launch a counter-attack ExKirby sends another blast of wind in to strike from the side. The orange light weakens, but as the dust settles you can Nihilist unharmed. He cracks his staff on the ground, and a tremor runs through the arena. ExKirby leaps into the air, floating a few feet above the ground to avoid the roiling wave of rock headed at him. As he floats back down, he spins in a wide circle, bright crimson arcs of air flashing out from him to slam into the bright shields around Nihilist. The orange wizard staggers a bit, and his counter-attack flies wide and crashes into the walls of the arena.
The crimson mage presses the attack. Arcs of red-tinged air slash downwards from the ceiling. Each one barely glancing off of the orange runes to explode in a cloud of dust at Nihilist's feet. The orange mage steadies himself, and spins his staff over his head. Chunks of rock float up from the ground and shoot forwards. The crash against crimson runes, rock after rock splintering into a thousand shards around ExKirby. Finally, his runes can take no more and he takes a direct blow to the chest.
Rolling with the blow, ExKirby rises from a crouch, on hand clutching his ribs. But his wand is already moving, complex runes sparking in the air around him. A great whirlwind appears around Nihilist, dust and fragments of rock slamming against his protective runes as he struggles to keep his feet. ExKirby makes another motion, and the whirlwind intensifies. Suddenly, Apostolic Nihilst bursts upwards out of the top of the whirlwind, riding a great slab of earth. He kicks downward, and points his staff at ExKirby. The slab rushes downwards to crash into the crimson mage's runes with a deafening crack. The runes buckle, and ExKirby is flattened by the slab. Alive but pinned, it is obvious that he is helpless and the Marshal calls an end to the Duel.
Apostolic Nihilst glides to the ground to thunderous applause as the healers rush forward to take ExKirby out of the ring. Oddly, you can see the Marshal and the healers having a quick and heated discussion before the Marshal finally waves for them to continue.
As all of this is going on, you hear a high pitched scream. Turning, you see an imp underneath Beacon80's seat vibrate rapidly for a moment before exploding into a great tower of dark flames. Poor Beacon80 is badly hurt in the flames, but the quick work of the security detail saves his life. He is gently levitated away by the healers and taken to the Ward.
Looking up at the glowing Announcement Board, you see the following Statements:
ExKirby, Subtle Wizard of forbidden Dark Magic has lost a duel and is removed from the Tournament!
Beacon80, Wizard of Fire has been injured by a rogue imp and is removed from the Tournament!
