To a deafening cheer Leafsnail arrives from the North once again. His golden sword held high in one hand as his cape flutters behind him. As he reaches his starting circle he stabs the tip of the sword into the ground. A giant Blue rune of glowing fire erupts from the ground around him, with the wizard standing at the center and bathed in shimmering blue light.
Toaster strides in confidently from the South. His garnet robes a sharp contrast to the blue of his opponent. The click of his staff and the slap of his sandals echo about the arena, strangely amplified. When he reaches his starting circle he sweeps off his tall gray hat and bows to the crowd. As he turns, glowing Garnet runes spill from the hat and dance in the air around him.
At the signal from the Marshal the two mages explode into action.
The runes floating around Toaster spin forward, becoming a flurry of red-tinted cyclones rushing at Leafsnail. The blue mage’s rune explodes around him, the wave of fire dispersing the cyclones but falling short of his opponent.
Quickly following up, he slides a hand down his blade and casts a glowing blue blade of fire at the garnet mage. Toaster dodges to the side, but only barely in time. Blue fires smolder along his arm for a few moments before his defensive magics extinguish them. With a grimace of pain he sends a wave of air flowing out at Leafsnail. The blue mage raises a wall of fire, however, and the dark wind does little but fan the flames.
As his opponent wards himself with his shield Toaster continues his attack. Stretching his staff upwards the garnet mage spins it around in a complex pattern. A great wyrm of swirling red mist appears and circles around the arena. Leafsnail looks on in horror as its gaping maw descends upon him.
As his opponent is swallowed whole by the apparition the garnet mage slams his staff on the ground. The wyrm vanishes in a roar of wind. Leafsnail is sent hurling into the air to land heavily on the arena floor. He struggles to rise, but soon collapses back in pain.
After a few moments the Marshal calls the match over, and the Healers rush out to tend to the fallen wizard.
Toaster, meanwhile, walks out of the arena to the cheers of the crowd.
