Jan 15th 2022 update: Now added a discord server for the arena, for discussion, and even for role-playing in the world of Sithesia. Competing warlocks now have the opportunity to either duel here or in the server.
*NEW:* Rules amendments added in red, including dice rolls.
The audience shoots to their feet and roars as you step onto the warm sand of the arena. The flags flutter overhead as you see a thousand people watching you. This is your moment to show your skills as a pupil of the fabled Academy of Arcane Arts. Now it’s only a question of how you will perform . . .
Welcome to The Arena! This is where you can test your mettle against fellow academy pupils. The rules are as follows:
- Keep it clean and respectful. An academy pupil treats his opponents with honor, giving the standard courtesies. That of course includes a bow before and after a fight, as well as showing one’s stripes.
- Pupils are expected to use the full trigger phrase of the spell they are casting, as well as name of the spell. Example: “I slap my wrists together with the First Offensive, shouting, Annihilo!”
- All offensive spells shall be cast feathered, meaning at diminished strength. This is practice dueling only!
- Choose a time to duel, being mindful of time zones.
- Choose a nickname when in the arena. Augum, for example, would be called Augum “The Hood” Stone.
- Choose an element. Available elements are: fire, earth, water, air, lightning, ice (healers do not duel, and necromancy will not be an option at this time).
- Agree on degree level for all contestants prior to the duel. Available degrees are 1 to 9. This matters because you will not be allowed to cast spells of higher degree (for the purpose of simplicity we will not account for people training beyond their degree).
- Dice rolls: Roll a twenty-sided dice (“D20”) to cast a spell/strike an opponent. Add your degree level to the roll. A roll of 14 or higher hits. If the opponent chooses to dodge or parry, they must roll higher than you (they too will include their degree bonus). Tie rolls go to defender. Centarro adds +4 to all rolls. Shields add +2 to all defensive rolls. Elemental Armor allows for two free hits before destruction. Feel free to use online dice rollers like this one.
- Example: A 4th degree warlock smacks their wrists together, incanting, “Annihilo!” He/she then rolls a D20, getting a 10. They then add their degree, scoring a total of 14, which would strike. But their 2nd degree opponent chooses to block with a summoned shield. They roll a D20, getting an 9. Adding their degree and the shield bonus, their total is 13, which means they failed to raise their shield in time and the First Offensive struck true, scoring one point for the caster.
- GOLD EARNINGS: Each duel participant receives 5 crowns, regardless of who wins. The crowns must be honestly tabulated at home using the honor system, but you may appoint someone among you to hold the title of “Treasurer”. It will be that person’s responsibility to keep tabs on everyone’s earnings.
The earnings can be used to purchase the following:
5 crowns – A Potion of Trickery that, when consumed, takes away an opponent’s point. Costs one action to perform. Can only be consumed mid duel.
25 crowns – A better quality practice weapon, earning +1 on all strike rolls when using it.
35 crowns – Ring of Tempering: reduces all non-spell physical strike attack rolls by 1
35 crowns – Ring of Striking: adds +1 to all physical attack rolls (non-spell attacks)
35 crowns – Ring of Absorption: adds +1 to all defensive rolls against mind attack spells
35 crowns – Ring of Consternation: opponent suffers -1 on all mind attack defensive rolls
40 crowns – Circlet of Luck: +3 on all “Rolls to Succeed” (see below)
40 crowns – Circlet of Retrial: Once per duel, you may ask for a re-roll of any one single roll
50 crowns – A shimmering elemental robe that penalizes all castings cast against the wearer, endowing a -2 penalty on all opponent’s strike rolls (physical offensive spells only, not mind spells).
100 crowns – The purchase of an arcane Dreadnought weapon of your choosing (can be an axe/sword/bow/staff etc). You also get to name it. +3 on all strike rolls, and has the ability to cast First Offensive through the weapon (for 3rd degree+ only).
Author’s request 1: Come up with a list of items. Have Attendant Atticus email them to me. Feel free to suggest amendments to the above too.
Author request 2: what sort of mechanics would you like introduced for penetrating a shield / Mind Armor / Elemental Armor due to strong attacks? And how would attacking using a fist / foot factor? Think it over/playtest some ideas, and get back to me in due course with specific mechanics.
Author request 3: What sort of mechanic would you like to introduce that is house-specific? Perhaps certain off-the-books spells/abilities only available to those houses? - RULES CLARIFICATION: Second Offensives (always cast tempered) result in two points being awarded if both strike true. Chances of both striking are as follows: should attempted defenses fail, defender rolls a D6. If it is 1-4, the attack is successful and attacker is awarded 2 points. If it is a 5 or 6 defender manages to sustain one of the two attacks, but dodges the other (imagine one hitting a leg and the other the ground, or one the torso and the other zipping underneath an arm, etc).
- RULES CLARIFICATION: Strength: Should a physical attack be successful under the influence of Strength, the attacker is awarded one extra point. Further, all non-attack Strength attempts that relate (like flipping someone, lifting something, etc) using dice rolls gain an additional +4 on any D20 “Rolls to succeed” attempt rolls.
- RULES ADDITION: D20 “Rolls to succeed“: Any player may use an attack to attempt something not as yet discussed. At that point, the player is asked to honestly self-assess the difficulty of accomplishing the feat, and roll a D20. For an easy feat, they must score a 10 or higher. For a moderate feat, 14 or higher. For a difficult feat, 18 or higher. A successful moderate feat earns the attemptee one extra crown at the end of the match. A successful difficult feat earns them an extra two crowns! [Author asks the players to play test this and “feel” it out for balance issues]
- 2 ON 2 DUELS: You may now duel each other in team pairs! All participants will get an automatic 8 crowns per person. Initiative is rolled each round using a D20 (twenty-sided die). To cut down on text-based messages, this may be accomplished by the master of ceremonies/appointed score keeper/one of the participants. Highest goes first, with ties going to the person with more points that round. If a tie still remains, those involved in the tie are to each roll a D20 until one gets higher than the other. Further, the winning team is each awarded two extra crowns per person. [Author asks the players to playtest 2 on 2 and get back to him (perhaps via Attendant Atticus) on how to improve the mechanics].
- [OPTIONAL CHALLENGE]: Start dueling at 1st degree. After every duel, you graduate one degree. When you hit the 10th, you can choose any degree (between 1-9) to duel with. A request from the author: if the community comes up with a rank title for those who complete this challenge, have Attendant Atticus email me with the resultant decision and I will amend the rule here to make it official, allowing for people to use the rank in their name.
- Agree who goes first. Take turns. You can roll a dice to add randomness.
- You can cast one spell per text post. The person reacting MUST do the following however: react to the spell cast at them, and cast a counterspell / make an action.
- Possible actions:
– Cast a spell, such as summoning a shield or weapon, summon elemental armor, Disarm, a First Offensive (feathered of course), etc. etc.
– Block with shield / parry with practice weapon (practice weapons can be retrieved telekinetically from the carts that are wheeled out prior to each duel, costing one action). Weapon classes: spear, sword (short/long), dagger, axe, halberd, club, bow & quiver (3 arrows in quiver allowed max), any other reasonable weapon you can imagine.
– Move to engage opponent in hand-to-hand combat (or with weapons)
– Move away from approaching opponent
– Dodge / duck / jump over the spell / twirl aside / (the audience roars for greater creativity!) etc.
– Slash / thrust / slice / jab with weapon (etc). Can also throw the weapon.
– Telekinetically bend the arc of an arrow / fireball / thrown object. Available only to 5th degrees and up.
– Battle ‘port away (available only to 9th degrees and up)
– Reflect a spell using Mirror of the Dragon (available only to aspirants who have passed the Arcaner trials and have subsequently gone through the training. Will flesh out rules in due course). - [OPTIONAL RULE] You can use up to two dodges per battle, so choose wisely. After your dodges have been used up, the opponent’s spells strike true (as long as they roll a 14).
- Each opponent can withstand one hit to their Mind Armor before future spells blow through. At that point, the defender must roll a six-sided dice (known as a “D6”) Alternately, the Master of Ceremonies can be the dice roller. Results as follows:
-A roll of 1 means the attack is successful and does full damage to the mind (1 point awarded, combatant must role-play how it affects them). So if it’s a Sleep spell, the person struck is put to sleep and the duel is over then and there.
-A roll of 2 means the attack is somewhat successful and does half damage to the mind (1 point awarded, combatant must role-play how it affects them)
-A roll of 3 means the attack is a partial glancing blow, and does no damage, but a quarter of the effect is felt by the person sustaining the attack (no point awarded).
-A roll of 4 means the spell crumpled against the pupil’s Mind Armor (no effect/damage)
-A roll of 5 means the spell crumpled against the pupil’s Mind Armor (no effect/damage)
-A roll of 6 means the spell crumpled against the pupil’s Mind Armor (no effect/damage)
All pupils are expected to report their rolls honestly. That is the way of honor that all pupils who hope to last in the academy shall obey. And losing a duel can be just as fun as winning one. After all, everyone learns from a loss and becomes slightly better not just as a pupil, but as a combatant. Losing builds characters more than winning. - First to three solid hits wins! (This will keep the duels shorter). [OPTIONAL RULE:If no one is waiting in the wings to duel, both opponents can duel to five points]. But if a pupil believes he has been outmaneuvered in an incredible fashion (let’s say they believe their opponent was being particularly imaginative with their attack) then that pupil may do the honorable thing and bend the knee.
- For added fun, a third person can play the role of the Master of Ceremonies (Think Lucca Giovanni from the book Clash). This person’s sole job is to dramatize the events before them. They will also be the judge of the tournament, assigning points, making rules calls, etc.
- You’re welcome to suggest rules / amendments below. Due to the limitations of a text-based duel in this site, we will all have to be a little patient and forgiving in how things flow. A pupil is expected to do their best and to use their imaginations, as they are the most potent weapons they have. Good luck to all combatants!
The scene: The crowd stirs anxiously as the combatants meet in the center of the sandy arena. They are bare of foot and wearing the color of their respective degree. It is a [Master of Ceremonies chooses weather] day, and people have paid good money to see quality practice duels. In attendance we have academy arcanists, always keen to see how students are progressing. We have two high-degree healers as well, eager to help combatants injured in the fray [Master of Ceremonies may role-play what they do]. And of course, we have representative heralds from the Blackhaven Herald, the Antioc Herald, and the Academy Herald (Cry Slimwealth may be in attendance). And they like to gossip.
The heralds have been seen chatting together, in fact. Speculation has been mounting on whether or not everyone would get a glimpse of the fabled trio, who have been said to be interested in the events. Everyone is hoping to get a visit from one of them, although they are quite busy people these days guarding the kingdom. Perhaps in due course . . .
If you don’t get here soon Alex. You. Shall. Forfet!!! I am sorry.
Wait what happened? I was on a trip for 4 days, so I had no updates from here.
Ohhhhhh… never mind continue duel. your turn. on last page. read it but replie here.
Uhm ok then.
GUYYYYYYYYYYYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I just found out the dueling name of Ana Aticus Stone!!!!!!!! Its the black eagle!!!!!!!
How?
Was it in the trainer on the poster while looking for the black castle key what book?
Her schedule. On dueling club it said black eagle above it. Though i may be wrong. am i right Mr.Bronny
That’s Black Eagle Niterra Bladorang (I think that’s what the name is, hard to read). She’s a Black Eagle from the royal guard and teaches the dueling club. After all, the Black Eagles are master duelers.
Oh, my bad.
Anyone up

Har-Dee-Har-Har. Very funny.;)
Wait Alex. You did the wrong nickname. You did The Hood.
oh oops typed the wrong thing. my mind was thinking the cold and my hands typed the hood oops
Score: John:2: Einar:1
It is a clear sunny day. And it is 97 degrees outside. And the bell just struck 11 times(I Think this is correct)so it is 11:00
I will be master of ceremonies!
Treasurer Devon, you ready to duel?
I calmly walk into the arena, ignoring the curious looks people shoot my way, I bow and flash 1 ring of ice silently, waiting for my opponent.
I stroll in across from you, strutting with a confident head bob, until I stop. I summon 1 crackling ring of lightning and bow the bow of a royal, before saying, “You first,” in a voice amplified by the Master of Ceremonies.
I reach behind my back attempting to grab a sword with telekinesis unnoticed by you, while running forward and attempting to punch you in the face.
NATURAL 15 for grab sword so 16
NATURAL 16 for punch so 17
Oh wait, was the master of ceremonies supposed to roll for us?
No you do.
ok
I’m just going to write my totals each time.
I got a 19 against the sword and a 12 against the punch. My instincts warn me of something, and I duck to see a sword fly over my head, but that left me vulnerable to your punch. I then yell “Shyneo!” and grab you with the Shock extension. That’s a 16
Assume I added my degree too
For the shock, A NATURAL 17 i cant believe it so 18, i see the shock coming and expertly twirl around while taking control of your hand. I then try to yank all of the carts up into the air with telekinesis.
taking control of your hand: 14
yank carts: 16
Umm… A cart is quite heavy and we’re first degree, not to mention Telekinesis on multiple objects is very advanced…
Anyways, A 19 on the carts and a 15 on my hand. I just laugh at you and try to shock again, following up with a kick. 17 for Shock, 13 for kick.
NATURAL 20 FOR SHOCK!
natural 6 so 7 for kick.
I saw your shock coming and jumped back from our tangled position so your shock fails, and I say, “Never try the same tactic more than once unless if it succeeds” but as I was distracted, your kick connects with my shin and pain shoots up my leg. I reach forward with a hand and try for a desperate attempt to grab your leg with telekinesis, all the while dropping down and conducting a perfect sweep.
16 for grab
17 for sweep
ooooh my luck is on a hot streak
PS: i hope i dont jinx my luck
I, too, am extremely lucky and roll a Nat 20 and got a 7 as well. So I let your Telekinesis pull my leg out from under me, but I go with it and use the momentum to do a back handspring and, much to the crowd’s amazement, kick your jaw mid-flip. I then attempt Shock again, muttering, “It work some time.” A 18 for the flip-kick thingy, a 12 for Shock.
I do have a question before me and Treasurer Devon duel, is it possible for a pupil to master two elements? Other than their own and necromancy.
If you mean master as in earning the master rank in both, probably not, and if so it would be Krakatos. However, Mrs. Stone demonstrates the ability to learn multiple elements. We are aware of her healing abilities, but in Valor with the Henawa, when the Henawa demand a “magic” fire, Mrs. Stone lights it, obviously using an albeit low degree fire spell. However, Mrs. Stone explains that to be extremely difficult as it goes against the grain of arcanery.
I meant just showing talent in both elements but thank you
Ah, ok
Wait. Who is doing the 2v2 besides me and Atticus?
Me and Sincus
Kaladin, since I can’t log onto here very often, can you give me a call for when we’re planning on doing this?
I will be master of ceremonies
2 questions regarding stinckroot. Remember my question about it devon?I would look back at it.
1:What happened when you-Know-Who swallowed it? I forgot.
2:What happens when it is burnt.Would it knock them out?
I don’t know who swallowed it, but I can find both answers in Arcane. Leera once put stinkroot in the drinks and spirits at an Academy banquet, causing everyone to rush to the bathrooms, which we can assume how horrible that was. As for burning it, Augum tossed stinkroot into a fire in Arcane after reviving Leera with it. I remember it had a nauseating smell, and burned like oil, but not enough to render someone unconscious.
SPOILER ALERT IN SERIES 1!!!when August competed in the Anioc Classic. And Lee when in Restricted area.
Sorry outo-correct Augum competed in the Antioc Classic.
I don’t know what scene you’re talking about in the Antioc Classic, but when Leera was in the Restricted area, she got nauseous, and a bit loopy.
What are teams?
Would anyone want to duel 1st degree?
Few things
1:I opened my guild. It is Dueliers United.Crest:Half blue half green. Motto:wit is the key to victory
2: I royaly challenge Cincus,Atticus, and Phobos to a duel. At their earliest convienece.
3:Also, we are all second degree right?
Uh,1 sorry I have not been able to duel with a first degree so if any one elSe is I’m up for a duel before the kaden phobos and cincus duel,Though I might add that I’ll try to answer as soon s possible as i sometimes have things going on.
The Antioc Attendee guild*
Motto:Knowledge is power
Not accepting new members currently
Crest:In the works
*All are welcome even not library ranked people,though if your rude like Bowlander or Sido or most of the SouthGaurd twins you can not join**.
**Though even if you are not a bowlander,sido,etc type of person you still can’t join at the momment.
Sorry autocorrect
Yes, I’m second degree. I’m not 100% sure what times I’m open to duel, though.
P.S. It’s spelled Sincus, not Cincus
Umm hi? I have literally left this site for a month and I don’t know why. I’m pretty sure I missed just over 700 comments lol. Anyways good to be back and with all the new rules and dueling options. :)
I know the feeling,dude.
I feel you man
Anyone want to duel?
Sure, when do you have time?
I’m free almost whenever, you choose. I’m Eastern Time
Alright, maybe tomorrow at some time? I’m also Eastern time
Actually, I don’t have time tomorrow, but I do have time on monday, if that’s fine with you.
Yeah, that works
Can you do like Monday at idk 3? I’m actually not sure the exact time yet, but maybe 3
Yeah, three will work. Might be a bit late but…
Alright, maybe like 2 because I have stuff to do in the morning.
Just wondering, what does the Darkness spell do? Does it make the opponent roll with disadvantage?
The Arena is still under construction. Come up with a suggestion and maybe it will be implemented!
I would agree, but that’s really up to Mr. Bronny
Attendant Atticus and Kaden “WildFire”, would you be available to do a 2v2 battle tomorrow with me and Voidspawn, with teams decided randomly? Also, Treasurer Devon, could you please give me and Voidspawn 5 crowns for the battle that we just finished?
Yep
By the way, I think that using a weapon of any kind to make a melee attack should add a +2 bonus to attack rolls, like shields do with defense rolls. Otherwise, there’s no point in grabbing a weapon when you could just deck them.
I go on the offensive right off the bat, punching you in the face with telekinesis. I got a 17+1=18, which is a hit.
You can’t punch me in the face with telekinesis. Ignoring that, I roll a 9+1=10, failing to dodge it. Your fist connects, and I feel my nose start to drip blood. The score is now 1-0.
I reach behind me and summon a short sword from the weapon rack with telekinesis. I raise it and prepare for your next attack.
(Before I did my first action, I did the show stripes and bow. I forgot sorry) I dash backwards, out of range of your shortsword, then reach out with telekinesis to pull a halberd from the weapons rack.
Ignoring the breach of etiquette that you un-did, I flash my two rings of water and begin to attack. I run forward, and make a slice at the arm that you’re summoning the halberd with, hoping to interrupt your concentration. Unfortunately, I get a 3. (From now on, just assume that I include the +1 in my numbers) As I swing, “Your Highness” whacks my sword away without any effort, and he finishes summoning his halberd.
I attempt to knock the sword out of your hands my halberd. I got a 15 (assume I included the +1 as well).
Unfortunately I rolled a natural 1, to get 2. The short sword flies out of my hand and leaves me vulnerable to attack. Because l got such a horrible roll, I miss my action staring down with disbelief at my sword lying in the dust.
“Let me show you who the real champion is,” I say, thrusting forward with my halberd. I got a 12 on my attack roll.
I neatly step to the side (no roll required because it was less than 14) and try and use his momentum to yank his halberd from him with my telekinesis. I got a 17. “Apparently ‘Your Highness’ isn’t so royal after all,” I say. “Maybe this will pay you back for all your family’s inflated taxes and trumped-up charges.”
I got a 15 on the dodge, so you succeed. The halberd is yanked out of my hands, though just barely. My fingers graze the shaft as I try to reclaim the weapon midair. Backing up away from Phobos, I pull a shield from the weapon rack with telekinesis, holding it out defensively.
Unfortunately for you, shields only defend in one direction. I pull a club from the weapon rack behind you and slam it into your behind, with another roll of 17. I think I detect a squeak of pain from “Your Highness”, and I waste no time in saying so.
I ROLLED AN 18! Watching Phobos reach a hand out to me with telekinesis, I roll down onto the ground, narrowly avoiding the club, which continued into Phobos’ waiting hand. Phobos tosses the club over his shoulder, not caring about it.
I bring my foot up, smashing it into your nose with a roll of 20. Phobos’ front teeth drop out, and a loud crack comes from his nose (if I hit, of course.).
Sadly, I rolled a 13, which would mean that I got hit. My teeth do not drop out (whatever he would like to say), but he does score another hit to the nose. The score is now 2-0.
Sensing defeat, I honorably bend the knee and concede this match. Before I leave, I call out over my shoulder, “While you may have won this match, you have not and will never crush my spirit. I will continue to help my family against your oppression in any way that I can.”
nou. On a side note, I have attained my 2nd degree!
GG
This uppity little kid’s house has been annoying me and my family for too long. It’s time to put him in his place in the only way that matters. In the Arena. Of course, since he’s only first degree, I’ll have to temper my spells as if I was one as well. Sincus Vitalis, I formally challenge you to a duel.
Since I am the challenger, you go first.
I accept your invitation. Prepare to lose.
Name: Sincus ‘Your Highness’ Vitalis
(If you recognize that first name, then you have a very good memory. If you don’t, look at page 556 of Honor’s Price)
Birthday: 19th day of the 4th month. Born in the year 3335 (or something. I don’t know what year I want) after The Founding.
Appearance: Tall, olive skinned, with medium length red hair and teal eyes.
Degree: 1st Air
Personality: Confident, determined, decisive.
History: My parents were killed in the Solian/Canterran war, so I was orphaned at a fairly young age (the year 3344 P.F. (Post Founding). Augum was 18 when the battle took place, and he was born in the year 3326 P.F.). I lived on the streets in Blackhaven for a couple years, until I showed a talent with arcanery. A Canterran nobleman by the name of Gareth Vitalis found me using wild arcanery, and adopted me (for who knows what reason). He soon introduced me to the Academy of Arcane Arts, where I learned how to control my powers. I quickly learned that I was adept at fighting, perhaps due to living on the streets for the majority of my life. After attaining my first degree, I went to Antioc for my dueling debut.
All of this is open to change. I threw all this together in 30 minutes, so I’ll probably be changing it over the next little while.
Kaladin16, you ready to fight? (Remember, you’re tempering your spells to 1st degree strength.)
Sure, let’s fight. Also, I don’t think that it’s so long after the events of FoaRD.
I DON’T CARE
Present day continuation of Kaden”Wildfire”
I am walking in a cold and slightly snowy night. Sudennly i hear multiple thwomps. I wonder were all those people are going this time of night. i walk in the forest to my little cabin. I hear rustling leaves. Then i hear more thwomps and no less than 5 assasians apper in front of me with 1-2 rings of water on there armes. Then another thwomp and an old bullie appeared in front of me. His name was Aiden. He was colder than his own element,Ice. And now he is 3rd degree and he looks reading to blow my head off.And his last name was…
Too be continued…
A lot of huge fire balls fire into the center of the arena filling it with steam. When it dissapates you see me standing facing the entrance were my enemies will emerge from with a slight smirk on my face.
P.S. I am not the person that sent the firballs. Remeber i am PRETTY wealthy.
Alex “The Cold” Runi
*Update*
Alex walked around his training room, waiting for his instructor to arrive. He glanced at the old dusty clock hung on top of the door. His instructor was one hour late. Could something have happened to her? Alex waited until his instructor finally arrived 3 hours late and took him to a lake. It was one of the few lakes in Ley. “Today we shall begin your training for the Arcaner Trials.” She said. “Bu-” Alex began. “I know, but you have to do it to succeed in you task.” she interrupted. “I understand.” Alex murmured. “Let us begin your lesson.” his instructor said grandly.
TO BE CONTINUED…
I’m sorry Mr. Bronny if this conflicts with your story, I didn’t mean for it to conflict with that. i was just saying the lake because like it probably has a nice view.
And also the instructor thing. It probably will conflict with your story once i reveal who it is.
that was me sorry
And also i said the lake because it connects to Alex’s element.
Ooh, suspenseful. I think we all are wannabe-Arcaners lol
Hmm perhaps
Also, do you think the plot of mr. bronnys next book will be conflicted by my post?
Frankly, it doesn’t matter. We just do what we do, it doesn’t matter if it conflicts. Make Jez your mentor, go to Ley, be an Occi… maybe not that one, but you get it
What were you going to say occi something?
Also for going through a shield and elemental armor, I think maybe physical attacks, since spells bounce off them unless if it’s powerful enough.
Hey Kaladin, are you maybe free this weekend? (but thats if you want to duel)
Also i am now doing the dodge thing. See rule 19.
Also another thing Mr.Bronny just said was that Anna will get some(drumroll)…. …. ….. Arena scenes
YES! We can finally see the Arcane Artist in a 1v1 duel!
Yes!!!
P.S. i would of been better if there was a ! in there.
YAY!
Good match,
Would Kaldin,kaden and Devon want to do a 2v2?
Why not?
Sure, who’s team am I on? Also, can we do it second degree?
Boy, it’ll be nice to have some spells you can use in combat 😉
Good idea kaldin,let’s do it tomorrow,also I forget but what are people time zones mine is pdt
Hey Kaladin wanna be on the same team?
I’m Central time, will switch to Pacific time on a week. Kaden, I was thinking we randomly decide teams. (See my other post)
Does anyone else want to do a 2v2 please try to respond in the next couple of hours,also I’m fine with whatever teams,we could roll d4s each player gets assigned a number 1-4 roll two times the 2 first numbers are on one team and then do that again if a reroll happens of a number already used then reroll
Better idea to decide teams: I roll a d3 to find my teammate, and the other two link up. Then again, it’s getting kind of late in my time zone. Either we do it soon, or we do it another day.
What do you mean?
If I roll a 1, I team with you. If I roll a 2, I team with Atticus. If I roll a 3, I team with whoever else decides to play.
By the way, I won’t be available at all tomorrow, but should be able to battle sometime on Friday. Does that work with everyone? Also, can I get some suggestions of arena names for my brother?
Ok depends on the element but
Fire,The Blazer,Ablaze
Water,Arcane Fire Fighter
Earth,rooted,
Ice The a Frost Walker
Air ???
Lightning,zap
Sorry on how unoriginal some are but it was on the spot.
I need to say 3 things. 1 i rolled a 1 for team 1/ 2 the name zap has been taken i think. 3 an air name would be the tornado.
I rolled a few times after for fun and i got 1-7
If only you could have had that kind of luck in the battle! :P
Treasurer Devon, Kaden and I just finished our battle, and I did a moderate feat. Will you write it down that he got 5 crowns and I got 6?
Sorry for got my plus 1
So 6 each, got it. That was a great duel by the way, guys, especially with only the 1st degree! Sorry about your luck Phobos.
Yeah. Also could i buy stinkroot from the town we are in.
Umm… what? Surely you aren’t going to… eat it?
I don’t know, could you explain that please?
Its a secret but for an advantage. But 1 peice of gold. I have an idea.Evil laughing.
Ok… um, sure? I’ll mark one stinkroot, but I’m scared
You should be.Mwahahaha!!!!
I bow and flash my rings. I summon a sword from a pile the run back a few steps.
I flash my rings in response, then reach out and use Telekinesis to try and take your weapon. I rolled a 13, add 1 for my degree bonus, and it’s a 14, which hits.
I roll a 3+1 so 4. my weapon flies to your hand. Dont think thats a point. I summon another sword then pull your foot both with telekeneises(spelled wrong).
Ummmmmm… I don’t think that you can do two things with telekinesis for one action. It’s fine this time, I just need your roll so that I can defend.
Also, do you think that yanking your sword counts as a moderate feat? My roll would have succeeded, either way.
I roll a 5 for yank.
Also i meant that i did 2 actions and they were both telekeneises. I think we have 2 actions.
According to rule 17, “You can cast one spell per text post.” If you look, it says that on your turn you react to your opponent, then take an action. But we’re going to ignore it this time and just move on.
I got a 2+1=3 on the yank, so I fall prone. I reach out and grab your leg, trying to yank you down with me. I got a 4+1=5, so it failed.
I think you got a point for knocking me down, so that’s 0-1.
Also I got an extra crown for the moderate feat of yanking your sword.
I roll a 6+1 to block your 5 Then i cast shine and set my sword on fire.
WHAT WOW HOW DID YOU LIGHT YOUR SWORD ON FIRE?!?!?! (sorry I’m a little overexcited) I stand up and whack your sword hand with the flat of my blade, hoping to get you to drop it. Unfortunately I got another four, so I don’t put in enough power to hurt.
I hold the sword out and use telekeneises too blow the fire at you. If that is not possible i just whack you.
I roll a 16 for the attack so its 17.
Also i set my sword on fire with shine.
I mean it sets flesh on fire it could set wood on fire i think. Buttt now my sword is burnt out. I summon a club from behind you to hit you and i roll a 9+1 so 10.
P.S. Use the one in the rules section thats what i am using.
Also do you wanna go to 5 points?
I rolled a 8 so it hits me so its 1-2 i try blinking it out then i blindly try to trip you with telekeneisis.Then kick with my foot. Rolls are 20 for trip and 11 for other thing. Also not everything is moderate i think though it is up to highest ranking person here because Mr.Bronny is not here.
I blink the sand out of my eyes. Trip you telekeneticly. Then kick you with my foot. Rolls: trip:20(Yes!) kick:11(eh)
Sorry I was thinking
I didn’t know you could do that with Shine. Anyways, I try to parry, but I only roll an 11, so it fails. You now have 2 points and I have none.
I try again to attack with my sword. I roll a 2+1=3, so it misses, BAD. I’m going to find another dice roller ;D
Since I’m two points behind, let’s go to five, yeah. ;) As far as I know , nobody’s waiting to fight. Since your roll of 10 is less than 14, you automatically missed. I feint with my sword before kicking sand in your face. I got 17+1=18, so it hits (unless you dodge it).
If it didnt send tell me.
So you tripped me with the telekinesis, because I got an 8+1=9. You can’t do two actions on your turn, though. Anyways, attacks fail if the roll is less than 14 including the degree bonus.
The score is now 3-1, your lead.
I use my telekinesis to pull a dagger from the weapon racks, and pull it at your back. I got 5+1=6, so it shoots past you without hitting you. Hopefully, it distracted you.
I glace at it momentarley then summon the dagger ad go to stab you. Well its a wooden dagger but you know what i mean.
I rolled a 18
Wow I guess I’m just unlucky today. I got a 9+1=10, which means that you hit again. The score is now 4-1.
I attack again with my sword (probably futilely), and roll… an 8+1=9. Typical. I miss again. Your turn.
Sorry about your luck. I attempt to kick you. And roll a 12 so 13.
Awesome, you missed! (Awesome for me, not you) I punish your arrogance by slicing with my sword. I get an 8, so 9. Another miss lol.
I punch in the stomach and roll a 18 so 19. so there is a good chance it will hit.
I got 10 so 11. I respectfully bend the knee and concede the victory. Good game! That was fun!
I bow and say “Good job. You would of bested me if you werent so unlucky. Smart moves.”
And devon gives us our coins. Me:8 Phobos:6. I think its that because i just counted all of the times we rolled 14+.
In light of Kaden and Phobos now dueling, can I ask everyone to specify when you succeed a moderate/difficult feat, that way there are no disagreements on gold?
Okay
By the way, did yanking the sword out of his hand with telekinesis count as a moderate feat? (see above)
Kaladin16 vs. Kaden “WildFire”
I rolled a 12 for initiative.
I rolled a 19 for Initiative.
Ok, you go first. What do you do?
Does anyone want to duel 1v1, first degree? Phobos is itching for a battle. I’ll be checking this page throughout the day, so please respond if you’re interested.
Sure if Atticus 2 more people volunttear for Atticus’s thing.
While we wait for others, could we 1v1?
sure.
Ok. I’ll start a new post, roll to see who goes first!
Wanna do up to 5?
Scratch i didnt see your thing Kaladin. Yours is better.
Also this was an Auther challenge. You should call people who finished 1-9 challenge should beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee:Master dueler!
I like Master Dueler more
I think for 200 gole you should be able to buy a dreadnought sword like Lee’s. But it can do any spell.
….
Good luck doing…400!!! Battles
yeah BUTTTT it is powerfull. But it will go down to 150 then.
Hey would anyone want to do a 2v2 I’m doing the 1-9 chalk as well
I would, but it looks way more complicated than 1v1’s. Maybe after I’ve at least done my first match. Speaking of, would you be available to battle sometime tomorrow?
I will duel. But i would prefer 1v1.
Are you available today to battle 1v1? First degree? Nobody else is currently dueling, so it should be fine.
Hey everyone! I just added a large update to the arena rules (see new portions in red). These are based on suggestions passed on via Attendant Atticus (and a couple others who took the time to email me). I wasn’t able to implement every suggestion, some for balance reasons, others due to time.
I also haven’t had a chance to read over how things have been coming along as I’ve been incredibly busy with publishing/editing. I have three major audiobook companies vying for the rights to Anna’s first book, which is exciting. Further, I told Attendant Atticus about how the book is progressing (he is free to copy/paste what I said in a comment wherever).
Anyway, I hope you guys are doing well and I hope these rules clarifications/additions can add some spice to the fun. Play test them and enjoy yourselves, and get back to me in due course with suggestions! Particularly feel free to come up with specific items, their names, their crown costs, and what they do. Same goes for abilities available only to certain houses.
Good luck, everyone, and happy dueling!
Cool, that cleared up a lot Mr. Bronny
I’m doing the 1-9 challenge as well
I am doing 1-9 challenge as well.
I would like to duel as well, also doing the first to ninth challenge, (which I think the title for should be Rising Star). Just FYI I’ve never dueled like this before but we’ll see how it goes.
Hello,welcome,please state you degree,nickname,element and if you want to you can create a backstory for you character.Im going do the 1-9 challenge as well
Phobos “The Tide” Rathbone
1st Water (for now)
Phobos is a distant descendant of Attyla the Mighty, but he isn’t evil. While some of his family have been evil, he doesn’t like how his entire family is mistrusted because of the actions of a few. He wants to become a necromancer Arcaner to prove that necromancers can be good too. He will take the Torment Trial once he is high enough degree and it is an option.
Heyyyyy I’d love to duel you some time, but can you like state your name and degree and stuff? Oh, and im doing the challenge too
I’m free all day Tuesday, would that work for you? 1v1 first degree, with the new rules?
*Gulps* I forgot to refresh this for a week. So I didnt see this message, so sorry. Is it possible for us to duel another day?
Wait kaladin as in magic misfits kaladan? Its another magic book.
P.S. I don’t know were my computer is so im using phone.
No, Kaladin from Brandon Sanderson’s Stormlight Archive. Another book series.
Also do people have ideas for weapons=gear you should be able to get vis the shop?
Yes! I forgot to mention this, but spell scrolls! You can for 10xDegree gold, and goes up to the 11th degree. Or, you know, whatever Mr. Bronny would want to do.
Ooh,good idea,I think we should maybe even have a elemental bracelet,that increases your elemental attacks by one or two,a strength arm band that increases physical attacks and a thing to help ward mental spells.Also the spell scrolls shouldn’t count as a spell on your turn due to how expensive they are,I mean a first offensive would be 30gp so 6 matches whereas frenzy would be 100 gp so 20 games.
Also, shouldn’t there be a little more earning for the winner?
A telekinesis training cube. You get it pre-set to a weight level, and it increases your degree boost when using Telekinesis, by training with it out of battle. For example:
Quill/+1/20 crowns
Inkwell/+2/40 crowns
Etc.
Change specifics as needed.
I rolled a 11 and 3 18 and 26 I have to use all my elemental armor then I run towards you cast elemental armor then try to hit you with my spear then tried to kick you an NAT 20!!! So 35 and then a 8 so 23
35- for the spear 23- for the kick
Sorry that’s me
I bested the kick with a total 25, but did not best your spear. It slips past me and sinks into my side, and I push it out. Holding a hand over the wound, I bow and say “You best Einar. Olishia must teach Einar her skills someday.” I have quite a shocked expression, as Einar thought himself unbeatable.
Good job Attendant! That was cloooose
I bow in return flash my stripes for the final time until they dim then I say”,Good job,your dueling and arcane prowess astounds me”,.
Side note remember what you must do as treasurer.
Also I’m buying a potion of trickery
Ok
I don’t know. But I know we need to pass the Squire test, and Mr. Bronny hasn’t set rules for that yet.
I roll a natural 20!!!! Yes 29 then I roll a 11 so 22 then I run towards you in front of you I try to kick you then I run a bit back and cast Shield,the kick roll was 8 plus 11 so 19,Be prepared I have some new tricks up my sleeve,been rereading the 4th FoaRD book.
A 10, giving me a 23 against your kick. I trace you, incanting “ paralizo carcusa cemente!” and punch you. Totals: 25 Paralyze, 28 punch.
Uh what should the rules of Mimica be???
I roll a 15 so 30 I dodge then for the paralyze I rolled a 13 so 28 then I run up to you whilst running I cast strength and punch you in the neck and kick you in the shins,the neck hit is 14 so 29 and a 12 so 27.
Wait, Centarro does a +4 bonus on top of your +9 degree bonus for +11, but you were doing +15, so that punch would’ve hit.
No shield does plus two on defensive attacks.so 9+4+2=15
Oh, forgot you cast Shield.
Ok, I roll a 18 and 14 for 31 and 27, so I dodge both of your attacks, mutter about how this duel takes forever, and make a sweeping motion with my legs to try and knock you off your feet, simultaneously snapping off “Flustrato” with a jiggly hand motion. That’s a total 27 for Confusion and total 23 for the kick.
I rolled a 15 so 30 and a 13 so 28 then I cast strength the run towards you and try to hit you by the neck for a roll of 12 then try to kick you in the shins for a roll of 12 so 27.
When you guys are done dueling, you wanna due me? Just FYI I’m doing the first degree all the way to nineth challenge
Wait whats the score?
A suspenseful 2-2
Amy: Ezia “Vio” Elysium
Age: 16
Degree: 9th degree warlock
Element: Ice
Birthdate: November 16th
Personality: Friendly, loyal, hard working.
History: My parents were slaughtered by the legion
You wanna duel?
That was…unique.
Very
Exactly
Ok Attendant, and that was a looooonng break.
I let the hit thunk into my lightning armor and incant “Virtus vis viray!” and punch your guts. I rolled a 14, so that’s 27 (I cast Centarro earlier).
I rolled 8 so 17 it hits I use my armor then I run and punch you in the face then twitch my ringer and a wooden club comes at you I roll a 17 for the punch so 26 and a YES A natural 20 so 29 for the club
Also quick check what’s the score
Kinda unsure, think it’s 1-0.
I rolled a 5 and 12, so the punch shatters my armor, then the club hits me whilst exposed. (1-1) I then grapple you and try to bring you to the ground, also incanting “SHYNEO” and trying to shock you. Totals: 25 Grapple, 28 Shock.
Uh I rolled at a sixteen so 25 it’s a tie and a natural 20 so I get away from the shock but because of the tie I’m unsure for the grappling.Anyway I then use telekinesis with the fallen club and then try to attack with my spear for the club I roll a 10 so 19 and for the spear I rolled a 3 so it does nothing.
i say you should re-roll for grapple.
I think ties would work like partial hits, but no point.
Regardless, I kick your face and use you as a springboard (sorry, gotta hurt) to jump back. In midair, I slap my wrists together and yell “Annihilo bato!”
Kick: 19, now 32. Second Offensive: 15, now 28.
For the kick it would be impossible to beat,so I didn’t roll for the kick however the second offensive I rolled a thirteen so I use up the rest of my armor the I do duel telekineses with the club and a wooden sword at you I roll a 18 for the club and a 6 for the sword so 27 and 15 so the sword does nothing.then I try to pierce your right leg with my Icey spear for a roll of 20 so 29
I rolled a 15 and 8, so 27 (tie) and 21 (dodge), so I duck down but the club scratches my shoulder. Then a 5, or 18, for the spear. The spear sinks into my thigh and I use my Strength induced muscles to snap it in half, taking the pointed end and trying to stab you before it disappears. That’s a 16, so 29. I then say, “voidus occa” with a hooked fingers gesture, rolling a 12 so 25.
1-1
I’ll wait for Devon’s opinion,maybe I should reroll but get a plus two bonus as it was a high number but I don’t know.
I think you should just reroll
Ok John. We’d do that now, but it’s way to late. Maybe Mr. Bronny will add that to the rules.
ok lol
im confused you tried to dodge you rolled a 21 so the club hit,then the spear hit you that would make me at either 3 or 2 points also I roll a 1 so the spear hits??? Then the blind spell I use one of my free hits,then I cast summon minor wall and make it curved around me but as it’s starting to form,I Pick up the fallen club and the wooden sword and throw the club at you for a roll of 5 so nothing happens then I run and jump into the circlulure enclosure of ice mind that it it 1 1/2 feet thick so you couldn’t brake it also it’s 6 feet thick.
Oh, yeah it’s 2-1, but now 2-2 I guess,
I snap “Impetus Paragro” and appear next to you, ramming my fist into your face with a 12, total 25, and run off.
I got a 25 including my degreethen I summon my elemental armor and hit you with a wooden sword the roll. was a 15 so 24
I rolled a 12, so a narrow escape with 25. Then I again incant “Voidus occa!” and kick your chest. 15, now 28, for Blind. 5, now 18, for the kick.
I ran to hit you but I barely had to move due to the circle of ice
I rolled a 19 for the blindness so it barely hits me so I use my last saving thing then I rolled a 10 so 19 then I cast centarro and try to hit you with the sword for a roll of 4 so 15 then I try to kick you with a roll of 10 so 21.
7 and 15, so 20 and 28. I duck under the sword and jump aside. Then I incant “Voidus occa” and make a roundhouse kick. Total 27 for Blind and 20 for the kick.
Alex “The Cold” Runi
Age: 15
Degree: 7th degree warlock
Element: Unknown to everyone except him and his mentor.
Birth Place and Date: Ley, July 7th
Personality: Cold and unforgiving, extremely hard to connect with him. He tries to avoid anyone and sets up an emotional barrier around himself. The people around him are usually surprised by his combination of wild nature and excellent planning.
History: Little is known of Alex’s parents, but what is know is that they went to Ley in search of knowledge and came back years later with a young boy named Alex Runi. Alex’s parents shed little light on the pregnancy in Ley until they day they died. That day Alex’s parents told Alex that during the time in Ley, his mother entered a stage of sudden pregnancy and had Alex a few days later. Alex showed his first sign of Arcanery at age 10 and learned his first degree wild at age 11. Alex was a quick learner, but learning wild takes time so Alex did not receive his second degree until Age 13. As Alex often travels to and back from Ley in order to learn Ley spells, the Leyans have offered to be Alex’s mentor. At after earning his second degree, Alex had enough of learning wild and accepted a mentor, but as Alex was secretive of many things, he convinced his mentor to never tell anyone of his element until he was ready. At age 15, under the guidance of the Leyans, Alex was a 7th degree warlock, though he knew many spells above 7th degree and was ahead in strength for all his spells. And he was ready to enter the Arcaner trials. But Alex surprised everyone around him but suggesting that he wait until he is 10th degree. At the moment, Alex is training on his mental armor to strengthen it past 14th degree.
Does anyone want to duel?
Hello! Looking forward to dueling you sometime!
Since you didn’t say your element… let me guess… ice?
I haven’t really decided yet, but ice was one of the options
Neat backstory,perhaps another ice warlock…
I thought he’s the cold because he is cold.Look what it says right before his Bio. Thats what i meant.
Hello John!!! Always nice to see new people get on. Love your backstory, quite a bit of mystery in there. I cant currently duel, but I’m excited to see how you do in the famous arena of antioc!!! Good luck and may the odds be ever in your favor!!
Thanks Nathan
Hello John, and very interesting back story. Very mysterious in the fact that he was able to get to Ley. Cant wait to figure out what your element is :)
:)
Ahhhh! So many new people with all different elements. This is going to be very interesting as there will be more duels now :)
Thats close to my birthday. Not giving exact date.
I meant mind armor when i said mental armor.
I have invinted a new combo! It is INSNLY pwerful. And only first degrre. Whenever i use it i will give more details.
Ok gonna add my (Fake) Last name. Flametouch. Its a family name that comes down for generations.
A Present Day Continuation of the Bio of Adriticus “The Vortex” Valdwen:
One day Adriticus got a letter, within which was an anonymous challenge for a duel to the death. He decided to accept the duel and started girding himself for what could possibly be one of the biggest fights of his life. When the time came, he walked to the arena and registered in. Adriticus walked out onto the arena floor, noting the slight breeze and fluffy clouds above. He noted the large crowd, not able to make out even one face. The ground rumbled with the roar of the crowd, and than confused silence. Adriticus looked about, searching for the source, when he realized that his opponent had come out. His opponent was someone he hadn’t seen in over 4 years, but had thought about every day of his life. His opponent was none other than his twin, aggressive and straight to the point. He had never told anyone of his twin, the thought too painful. His breath caught in his throat while his twin glared at him. He could barely hear Giovanni, the master of ceremonies, reading off the rules. Giovanni looked between the two of them, hesitated, then yelled one word.
Well this sounds interesting
Indeed ;)
A Present Day Continuation of the Bio of Daveed “Lightning Strike” Valdwen: Daveed decided the defeat had to be public. However, he realized that his twin would never duel him voluntarily, so he decided to write an anonymous letter in order to draw him out. He sent the letter, and later heard that his twin had accepted the duel and was now training. So Daveed followed. Soon the day came to prove himself a true Valdwen. He walked out into the arena filled with roaring civilians awaiting the death of the loser. Each boom of the drum took him back to his childhood, reminding him of the abu-NO. It was training. Necessary training. It made him strong. As Daveed walked out, he noted his surroundings, as he always did before a duel. He noted the rumbling crowd, and how it abruptly cut off in confusion, the realization that these two were at the very least related hitting them. Most rewarding was the look of confusion and the consecutive look of recognition that flitted across his twin’s face. Daveed felt something stir inside him, something he had only felt about arcaneology. It was such a bizarre concept for him, the only way to understand it was to stop it. He could barely listen as Giovanni stated the rules, hesitated, and then said one final word.
Welcome Tyler good luck in the arena.
Name: Daveed ”Lightning Strike” Valdwen
Appearance: tall, slightly tanned (white), male, currently 16, 8th degree studying 9th, brown hair, green eyes.
Knowledge: 8th degree training on 9th, rather sizeable amount of knowledge on arcaneology for on 8th degree, dueling strategy.
Character: exotic, wild, explicit, serious, a fighter, a yearning for knowledge that is suppressed by his family, low self-confidence
History: Daveed Valdwen was born into a fierce family of lightning warlocks, so independent that they refused to live in their kingdoms, Tiberras, cities and villages. This family was infused with wildness brought on by it’s rich lightning element, and was very abusive to each other. Because of the wild tendencies of the lightning element, the family was very strict with arcanery, requiring every child be an advanced dueler and they are of the lightning element.
Daveed acquired his arcane talent at around the age of 12, and after a couple weeks of studying, started working on his elemental spell. To his great relief, he was indeed of the lightning element. However, his twin did not show the lightning element. Daveed’s parents were very angry, and the conflict ended with his twin being banished. This of course ripped Daveed’s heart in two, but this was quickly stomped out by his cruel and abusive family.
Daveed continues on in life, rapidly advancing through the degrees as was usual in his family. There was much talent in his family, but that talent had corrupted his family (including himself) and raised they’re pride to obscene levels. His family conditioned him to there way of life, and to view the world as they did. So when Daveed started showing great interests in arcaneology, his family quickly beat it out of him.
Or so they thought. Daveed quietly pursued his study at any time possible, using the excuse of improving his dueling skills in order to acquire study material. He absorbed anything he could get his hands on, and quickly became the leading knowledge of arcanery in his family. He would stay up late studying, and he always had a thirst to figure out how it all worked.
In this family, when one turns 16 they are required to go on a quest. Daveed’s quest was the hardest ever, but that is because his family expected him to be the greatest of them even as they beat him raw. So, when Daveed turned 16, and had trained enough in teleport, he was sent to track down his twin brother and dispose of him. So he followed the footsteps his twin had taken 4 years ago.
These footsteps led him, surprisingly, to a Solian academy.
Welcome to the Arena! Amazing backstory and cliffhanger lol. All that dueling skill will come in use here.
Thanks for the warm welcome
Hello! As a fellow lightning warlock, I look forward to dueling you!
Well this could get interesting :)
I dunno if I wanna do my own guild but I have a motto anyway. “Evading an attack is just good as any other defense.”
Lol I also made a crest.
https://docs.google.com/drawings/d/1sVQvB8D1aLZCcQ6zvW3LBwDV9lqh9A9jd1ik7RlIgdY/edit?usp=sharing
I might make a house, I’m not sure yet. My motto would probably be something like “individuals create unity”. Idk, just a thought.
Also, did anyone else notice the “perhaps in due course” at the end of the section where Mr, Bronny is creating the arena setting?
Yea, Mr. Bronny Is prob gonna come onto the arean with the nickname “Augum “The Hood” Westwood” or whatever.
My guild is called the Duelers Unite! Motto is Strength and speed is the key. The crest is a half blue half green that saye the motto.
I rolled a 5, so that’s 18. I dodge your kick catlike (1-0). Then I slap my wrists together and incant “annihilo bato!” with a 7 so that’s 20. Than I do a drop-kick style high kick to your chin with 12 so that’s 25.
Ahem… Attendant?
I rolled a natural 20 I dodge by rolling to the ground and I jumped up and rolled an natural 18 so I dodged,then I cast summon elemental armor while invisioning pure clear ice climbing and covering my body.I then run towards you and jump mid jump I attempt to punch you I rolled a four so 13 doesn’t do a thing.Also on the matter of logistics uh when did you go to ley,to learn centarro.I just realized none of us should be able to cast it.
I think that matter is overlooked because Mr. Bronny put it in the rules.
I got a 3 so that’s 16. I jump aside and then cast “armari elementus totalus” and thick lightning coats me. The I knew your face with a total 24
Ok what I knew your face mean???????
Sorry, on mobile. Meant knee your face
sorry busy week I rolled a seventeen,as i dodge the attack I cast summon weapon which is a spear and try to hit you right now I’m like three feet away.I rolled a 10 so 19.
Name: Adriticus “The Vortex” Valdwen
Appearance: tall, slightly tanned (white), male, currently 16, 8th degree studying 9th, brown hair, green eyes.
Knowledge: 8th degree studying 9th. Given up much of written word/math/history studies in pursuit of quick advancement and startagem study.
Character: Sarcastic, Slightly forgetful, generally a little too relaxed and tends to not take things as seriously as they should be taken, Very intelligent, Musician, Can be arrogant at times, Rather “gullible” or susceptible to other people’s beliefs. He uses his sarcasm to put up a wall about his past.
History: Adriticus Valdwen was born to a family of fierce lightning warlocks in Tiberra in the country, as this family definitely did not enjoy being ruled. His family even dreamed about starting their own kingdom, ignoring the improbability of it lasting more than a day. Yes, Adriticus’s family was insane, driven mad by the influences of the lightning element and it’s wild tendencies. Adriticus had always been a little calmer than his family, and because of that he suffered much verbal and physical abuse. Needless to say, when Adriticus started his arcane training and developed tendencies in the element of the air, his family was not pleased.
Adriticus first exhibited his standard arcane talent at age 12, as was usual for this family. He trained in his first degree for roughly two weeks before starting on his first elemental spell. However, when he was at last successful with the spell, it did not show up as crackling lightning but as a glowing swirling rush of wind around his palm. This of course stunned his family, and, when Adriticus refused to forsake the air element, they banished him from their family.
Adriticus went to the tiberran capital in search of work and a mentor. He was able to attain enough money to take his first degree test and pass. Soon after, he got apprenticed to a 11th degree air warlock captain in the Tiberran army. From him Adriticus learned not only the arcane arts, rapidly advancing through 5 more degrees in 3 years with a focus on arcane combat, he also taught Adriticus discipline and order. At age 15, having just earned his 6th degree, Tiberra was invaded by the legion. Adriticus’s mentor was sent off to the front lines, and Adriticus followed as his squire.
One day, during a fierce battle on the Tiberran front, Adriticus’s mentor was killed in a monstrous explosion. Adriticus was then captured after putting up a fierce defense. As he was being transported to Blackhaven, Adriticus managed to escape and snuck away. He traveled for days before he came upon some ruins in Ravenwood, close to Springthaw lake. There he rode out the legion war, becoming more Solian than Tiberran, though he still missed Tiberra and wished to travel back he knew it was impossible.
He decided to go to the Solian Academy of Arcane Arts after the legion war, earning his 7th and 8th degrees. When the canterrans started taking warlocks to assist in digging out Orion, Adriticus was able to hide in a little-known classroom. Once he heard the sounds of battle in a distant hallway, particularly a cacophonous crack of thunder, he decided it was time to go help. He prowled the hallways, taking out any canterrans he could find. He was trapped in the academy with all of the other students when the dome went up and began training in teleport.
He starved with Solian students. He suffered with Solian students. And like all of the other Solian students, he almost died. When they were freed and nourished back to health, he started training to fight the canterrans and push them out of what he now felt as his kingdom. Due to his intelligence and fierce dedication to the craft that had been pounded into him by his family, he was one of the few successful with the frenzy spell. So he fought in the battle of the Tallows.
Now Adriticus is studying his 9th degree as the kingdoms recover from the war. He studies strategy along with his element, and yearns to prove himself as an officer in the slowly rebuilding Solian army. A new dream has been kindled as well, one he never saw himself doing until three heroes attempted it. Adriticus shoots to become an Arcaner, no matter how long it takes. It is his dream, and he will fight for it like he did his kingdom.
Sorry it’s so long guys, got a little carried away :)
Also I tried to make it as logical and fair as possible but if you see any errors let me know.
Bruh, that puts my story line to shame. Scroll down for a little bit and you will see mine. But that story line is basically gone now as I started at 1st degree again due to new optional rules. Anyway, I’ve read through basically every comment and haven’t seen your name. Are you new?
I’m not new. I haven’t talked on here much except for near the beginning, but I’ve been on this website a while. So my dueling character is new but I’m not
@Adriticus cool. @Kaden, IKR
Dude, that putes EVERYONE’S story line to shame.
Didn’t mean to put anyone’s story line to shame, just got a little carried away :)
its okay. What I meant is it was AWSOME!
Thanks Karen:)
AHHH MEANT TO PUT KADEN NOT KAREN SORRY
Its okay. I am not mad. Though i understand your reaction couse of attendant. But were all good now, right Attendant?
what happened with the Attendant Kaden?
Er… I got upset when HE called me Karen. But now we made up.
I probably wouldn’t be to happy if someone called me Karen either ;)
Thank you for understanding. Though it was a typo. I hope.
Yes, twas indeed a typo
Name:Attendant Olishia Cavanaugh
Nickname:The frozen
Age:17
Degree:9
Element Ice
Parents:Presumed Deceased
Home:Black Haven,Antioc Library room 208
Knowledge:
First, did you just forget to put name attendant? Second, why do you have 0 knowledge if your 9th degree ice?
Idea! I think if you go higher than 25, exept for this duel since its in progress,It is unblockable.
sorry meant: it should be unblockable.
Good idea
that seems pretty fair
I calmly stroll into the center of the arena, despite my heart pounding with a thumps of the mighty drums. I tap my throat and whisper “amplifico” then roar “Come and get me, Olishia!” Then I bow and flare nine lightning rings upon your arrival. I then calmly incant “Centeratoraye xao xen!” then surge forth and try to grapple you (the thing where I lock my legs around your neck). I rolled a 14, so that’s 27? (that’s big)
After I bow I do the calculations and then I do frenzy quickly then exit out of the spell once I moved then I kicked you in the stomach and rolled a 8 so a 17 that lands a hit score 1-1 also after this I’m doing the degree challenge 1-9 degree
Rules 8/9 say that we counter roll. So you roll to try and best my attack roll, and I do the same to you.
Ok your so lucky I rolled a 15 so 26 and you rolled a 27
Also guys i am 1st degree. After every match I go up 1.
Yea, I’ll restart to 1st degree as well… Hey! Remember that whole story line I wrote about about everyone and me and Kaden getting to 5th degree. Yup, just threw that in the trash. Anyway I agree with Kaden on treasurer thingy. Sorry Attendant you already have a rank. Also, you literally get mentioned in the instructions of the main Discussion Page. You and Devon are like the main people here so both of you should have a ‘rank’.
New Bio: (Joke)
Aeris has been born. He has a mentor who teaches him first degree. The mentor dies in a legion raid. Aeris scouts about searching for someone to learn arcanery from. Being young and stupid he didn’t realize he could learn wild. He found his way to Antioc after the war and found Olishia Cavanaugh who was a attendant and the Antioc Library. He dreamt of working there and Olishia is helping his dreams come true by spending no time what-so-ever working with Aeris, leaving him at 1st degree.🙃
Rude! First you say i am not main! I mean they are mainer(I dunno) but so am I! Plus you just basiccaly threw me in the trash!
P.S. I am just joking.Mostly;).
Ik sorry. As I put in the bio, (Joke) Mostly ;;)
Hey you wanna duel after this one?
Yea sure. I would say what time but I guess we will just see when Einar and Olishia finish.
Hope my part is a joke….Also I think right now the vote just Devon,Devon,Devon and Devon,Nathan and marek and his sister all have not voted.I voted for Devon by the way.
That last sentence of the bio killed me hahahahah
I’m working on a bio right now so I’ll publish that soon
I’d probably vote for Devon too. I think both people would do great but just to spread the power a little bit I think Devon would be a more democratic choice.
I probably won’t get too involved in these duels due to scheduling. Especially around the school year the times where I can actually get on and duel is very… sporadic(? I think that’s the right word). I do love watching you guys duel though, and the creativity is amazing. the Attendants’ spectral ‘port attack was… unique… However I don’t think you would have been able to teleport back out. Very creative though
@Attendant yea it is just a joke because I can’t really make a good story line of you helping me because I’m still first after the reset lol.
I’m resetting as well.
I vote Either Attendan or Devon as Treasurer. Cause Attendant is well Attendant. And Decon is DM.
Would the treasurer be in charge of tracking the gold?
I bet you would both be very good! But i gotta give my vote to Devon actually. Because Atticus is an Attendant already. I feel like it would not be fair if you can be it too.
Sorry Devon, meant to add that.
That’s cool. I, too, uh.. vote for me?
Nice try!:) But no. You can not vote for your self. You can do me though!;)
Yes they keep track of what gear and gold people have.
As requested, added new dice rules for casting/striking/dodging/parrying!
Also added the ability to win coins. Please see the above ;) Happy dueling!
Ok Attendant. I stroll into the arena, bow deeply, and flash nine lightning rings. After that, I sprint forth and snap “Flustrato” while jiggling my hand. With the other hand, I ran it into your gut
I’m going for a K.O let’s see I use one of my dodges for the mind attack then i stumble back from the hit and cast spectral teleport but inside of your body in that split second I pull on the first thing I see which is your heart so ya
I… uh… think that would kill you. You’d appear inside me momentarily but still die like Malevalent. If not, these are practice duels and aren’t meant to kill.
Forgot to say though, that was quite creative
No she telaported in not not spectral also there are healers as well as I teleported inside of you not into you I had been studying the body for this technique as well.
I’m not sure I understand, but regardless we aren’t supposed to kill in practice duels. How about a redo, this time not killing?
Ironic, the only Ohmian (Ohmian?) is the one who kills.
Restart you go first
I it would be ohmish
I double checked when bridge gets sabby they mention it’s an ohmish husky.
Oh, Ohmish, got it. Ohmian sounded wrong on so many levels. I’ll make my move up top.
My name messed up and in my first thing when I teleported I also bowed and flashed my rings
Uh…VIOLENT! We should be a bit more tame.
Sorry messed up name:(. Was going to do THIS name.
Idea Devon. Maybe you should not start with the best dueler. You should work your skills. I have no doubt you will put on a fight(And i personally think you’ll win). But you need to earn some publicity. So if you win get MORE famous. Eh,eh?:)
Huh? You mean I should duel some others before Attendant Atticus? Or am I misunderstanding. If so, yeah I’ll do that. See who else is available.
yeah thats what i meant.
Sorry for ignoring your advice Kaden. I was going to follow it, but then Attendant Atticus wanted to duel… Einar can’t back down.
Ok!:) Makes sense Einar!
I realized something everyone! We should of done scores for attacks! A one was supposed to be score! I rolled 6 for BLOCK. But since Devon won the duel fair and square(Plus Definatly outsmarted me)i was just pointing that out for future duels.
By the way you are a natural dueler Devon! And very creative too! How’d you come up with that Seal trick? I MUST KNOW YOUR SECRETS!:)
Well, I’m quite honored Kaden. You put up quite the fight too!
Anyways, my creativity comes from multiple things. I take inspiration from duels and fights in Mr. Bronny’s books (I planned something like Malevalent’s Teleport-suicide but safer with a weapon, didn’t use it though). I also was studying other duels before hand, seeing what y’all came up with yourselves. I take non-combative spells from the spell list also and think about obscure uses, such as I did with Seal. But my most effective no-longer-secret trick is to imagine the character I created and place him in duels. I know he’s creative and know what style he favors, but let him do all the work as I take note. If you don’t understand that, I can rephrase it.
Yep, those are my secrets Kaden! Happy to help a fellow combatant.
I understand. And very smart of you too!
Devon would you be up for a duel,I got some secret ideas…
Good game Also good techniques can’t wait to see what einar has in store for his next duel.
Me too, Attendant. Right now, I believe he is sitting on horseback in the middle of nowhere, a book on arcanery and another on dueling open before him on the horse’s neck, as he sits in silence, contemplating revolutionary techniques.
I believe Einar, in his love of battle, would be willing to ‘Port back to an arena to duel another tough combatant. (What time?)
As of right now Olishia is taking a meditation retreat at ohm and is talking tom ning telepathically,I can duel tomorrow at like 12:30 but are we still fighting or not?
Yeah sure, you’re Pacific right? If that’s so, we might end up finishing the duel later, but I’ll definitely be able.
Actually my retreat just ended so I can do the battle I teleport into the arena and start meditating,using my knowledge I gained from the retreat.
You choose who goes first ok
A student of the art. Impressive. And a good dueler always studies other warlock’s duels. Well done, Devon. you have the spirit of a pupil of the craft.
Thank you, Mr. Bronny!
Thanks.
i rolled a six for block. you win, good game. If i was not parilized i would bow.
Yes! That was my first duel, and first win! Good game.
I flick my hand and say “Paralizo null,” then bow a deep bow and kill the Amplify spell that I had (didn’t write that in the beginning but it’s the arena) and shake your hand. “Good fight. You strong. Creative. Someday we do practice and talk strategy.”
Thanks! You too! Gonna use the seal trick.Though it might be deffirent;).
Yea that Seal trick was very creative. Also was that your first duel as Einar or your first duel in general?
In general
Cool. Congrats on your first win :)
Thanks
I roll to the side rolling a 2 getting a bit scraped giving you 1 point! The sword comes from behind you then i kick you in the stomach then slame my wrist yelling “Anihilo!”
I rolled a 5 on the sword and a 1 (oof) on the First Offensive. So I twist away from the sword but it left me unaware of your fireball, which blasts into my stomach. I temporarily double over before saying “Obdura del boundera sen,” making a quick tracing motion as I cast Seal on your mouth (eh? Now that’s cool). I then swing my flail again.
Now it’s 1-1
Creative devon! Rolling a 4 i attempt to yank your arm i miss. then i duck rolling 3 so i get partially hit but 0 points. I then sprint at you then summon a spear while pointing it a you while doing a roar cry.(MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) Due to your Seal.
Yeah thanks I was looking forward to using that.
I rolled a three, so your spear grazes my shoulder but no point. I, in turn, make a hooking gesture at your eyes and incant “Voidus occa.” Simultaneously, I bull-rush you (Strength still in effect) in an attempt to knock you across the arena.
I take the mind hit but it doesnt penetrate cause it is my first then i battle port behind you. The i run back a bit and do my best to meditate.
I spin around and charge. While doing so, I yell “Annihilo bato!” and slap my wrists together. Then I swing my flail.
I get up raising my sheild last minute and rolled a 3 i barley block and get thrown back but no point. I yell “summono Arma!” summoning a scythe mid strike parrying the flail and engaging in hand in hand combat(Or in this case Flail and Scythe combat).
How do you like my scythe? Chose it cause i am a future necromancer.
I yank at your scythe and say “Disablo” and your scythe vanishes. I follow up with an attempt to grab you by the neck and slam you to the ground.
Scythe is fancy though. Respect the variety.
I quickly incant “Centeratoraye xao xen” I twirl aside then run back grab a spear and hurl it at you chest.
I rolled a 5 so I duck under the spear and reach out with Telekinesis in one hand to try and shove you to the ground. I let go of my flail and use my other hand to mime crushing an orange, yelling “Dreadus terrablus!”
your strength wares off after telekenieis witch i roll a 2 so you get a point. i dart towards you going left and right dodging fear then as i get up in front uf you i say “Virtus vis viray!” Then punche you in the face.
Score is 2-1
I dart to the left and you miss, as I rolled a 5. I then draw a star and say “Summano elementus minimus” followed by “elementus attack!” The lightning waist-sized elemental charges you while I make a flying leap kick at your chest.
I send the elemantal at you(I think this is like bending ark of fireball. Up to you devon seeing as your a DM) But to be safe i twirl aside were you would of hit me. Then i do a round house kick.
I rolled a 2 and a 3, so the elemental hits me in the gut and I fall (point), followed by your kick which barely grazes my chin (no point). In retaliation, I shove my elemental off me and send it back at you, where it tries to kick your shin. I, however, say “summano arma” and again summon my triple flail, swinging it at you.
Forgot to mention, 2-2 now. Ooh, this is tense!
I port behind you and the elemental then i grab you and the elemantal by the neck(Or whatever the elemantels would be) and shove you at him.
P.S. I cast centarro and strength so thats how i did that.
I rolled a 3, so I flip over the elemental and catch my foot in it, tumble to the ground, leap to my feet, and yell “Annihilo!” as I slap my wrists. I follow up with a swing of my flail. I subconsciously dismiss my elemental.
howd you flip over the elemantal i held you neck? I bend the ark of the lightning bolt back at you than i sent a sword at you with telekeneises(spelled wrong most likely).
Oh, thought you meant you grabbed me and threw me. I guess I slip out of your grip instead? Anyways, I rolled a 3 and 5, so I twirl aside from my bolt and the sword grazes the leg but no points. Now, I snap “Voidus lingua” while crushing at your throat, then swing my flail at your legs.
i Twirl aside both attacks similtamiasly(Wrong spelling two). Then i yank both of your feet fowards hoping to trip you. Then i bull charge you then push you if it doesnt work. If it does i jump on you.
“It” would be my telekenetic trip. For clarification.
I snap “Impetus peragro” and appear behind you, then trace you while saying “Paralizo carcusa cemente” and kick you in the back.
OK you will go first.Limit 9th.
I battle port in position then Bow.
I stand still before flexing all of my muscles underneath my robe and yell “Virtus vis viray!” Then I launch myself forth and tackle you, attempting to pin your arms (idk, roll to see if you escape? 123 no 456 yes?)
Alas it is 6!:( I battle port behind you and then grab a blade from a cart.
I spin around and say “Baka!” as I shove the air, sending the force right at you.
I raise my sheild. I hurl my blade at you but using telekineses so if you dodge it will fly back towards you. Then i run back wards a bit.
I give the blade a Strength-induced slap to send it away and run up to you, saying “Summano arma” as I run, summoning a triple lightning flail that I slash at you with
Hi Kaden, I’m ready to duel.
I strut out of the stone hall and onto the sandy arena floor, wiggling my toes through the sand as I get my bearings. Then I summon nine rings of crackling lightning around my left arm and hold it high, roaring a hawkish war cry.
Once you appear, I also bow.
Yep, looks like midnight was a crash, Kaden (literally, cause I crashed.) See you at 6:30 my time
Though it might be bedtime by then.
everyone check out the discusion real quick.
Ok Kaden, I’m ready to duel how’s midnight my time, or 7PM for you, today?
why midnight. But sure. If i dont make it your time tommorow 6:30
Am or pm? Also, because it’ll be the only time I’m free for long enough for a duel.
6:30 P.M.. But if midnight is the only time i will try.
UHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH who do i duel? I will role the dice! I will duel you both but this is who i will duel first. 3 and under is aeris and the rest are devons.Devon first. Sorry Aeris. But you also just dueled.
Sorry though Aeris.
Wait, so are you dueling me?
yes i will duel Aeris. You first dude.
I will duel youb devon. You first.
All good :)
Hey y’all, who want’s to duel? I’m Eastern Standard Time.
Hey what if we did a two v two duel instead of 1 v I know kaden,Devon,aeris and I all want to duel so we could do a two v two I’m fine with any teams!
i think we should stick to 1v1. atleast i will stick to it. It will be hard to keep track of the duel and Mr.Bronny would have to make more rules so i will stick to 1v1.
P.S. Nice idea though.
I really like that idea but I agree with Kaden. But… that is a suggestion you could email or ask in the discussion posts as he checks there :)
I agree with Kaden. So, what wants to duel?
Sure i will duel you cause Aeris just dueled. And i think you havent dueled before or in a while. You can go first.
Hey anyone up for a duel?
since your newwwww(No Offense) sure just say when.
sorry, also my w button was weird.
Words of Advice from Aeris: Don’t say no offense, that makes it sound more offensive. Also the Arena was only created 2 weeks ago. So everyone is newwwwww. And Ill duel you when you decide to be a decent person =_=
Woah woah woah we’re all decent people here man. I’m sure Kaden misspoke or didn’t look at it from your perspective; I know he would not purposefully be rude like that.
Yeah, i accidently did the same thing to Atticus but it was an accident, right Attendant. Please forgive me:).
haha no. lol. I was being sarcastic. I guess its harder to express sarcasm through texts. Lol sorry if you took that the wrong way or I said it a little rudely.
THANK GOD.Sorry i could NOT tell you were using sarcasam.So you WILL duel me now?
Yea, how bout 4:00 pm today? PST. Is that good?
New Bio: Aeris (The Tornado) Volaris
Age: 15
I’m a 5th degree warlock with the element of wind.
Home: Poleford
Fighting Skills: His main strength is his speed and agility. When fighting he always tries to dodge spells and use disarm instead of blocking or deflecting them. This is because shield is his least powerful spell. He is really good at weapon combat and often pressures his opponents back and hits them with a spell. His elemental weapon is a quarterstaff. He has also learned the Whisper Blade technique of blocking telekinesis.
Bio: Aeris lived in Blackhaven and just got his first degree at age 12 in wind. He had a kind mentor who also worked with Benjamin “Stonewall”. Benjamin was a warlock with the element of earth who always considered defense the best option. Shield is one of his most powerful moves and he learns quickly which helped him reach 4th degree by the time the Legion attacked. Aeris was related to a long line of warlocks who were always kind to the warlocks and non-warlocks alike. Not putting up for the torture and punishment the Legion had, he escaped into the woods. He then learnt his 2nd and 3rd degree wild. Along the way he met Kaden “Wildfire”. Kaden had run away from his farm when the Legion attacked. Aeris and Kaden trained together, helping each other get to the 3rd degree. After that he found a small village in the mountains like Sparrows Perch. While he was there, he met Dragoon Devon, a Nodian arcaner who was wandering the world learning wild with his 9 degrees in lightning. Aeris learnt his 4th degree with the help of Devon when the Legion came and burnt down the village and Aeris had to go into hiding again. He started learning the 5th degree wild when the trio defeated the Legion and he returned home to Blackhaven. He found a mentor and is starting to train in 6th degree. His dream was always to go to the Antioc library and try the Labyrinth, and he is working towards that goal. He had met with a warlock by the name of Oishia Cavanugh who has worked at Antioc with Senior Arcaneologist Ning since age 10. He has started training with her as she has clever fighting techniques and has even created her own spell. He has also met Alexander Titan. Alexander was a young warlock specializing in lightning and at his 8th degree. Like Aeris, Alexander also wants to learn at the Antioc library. Aeries has a few of his training session with him, and they do mock combat to hone their skills. Since then, Aeris has been able to go to the Academy while training to learn at the Antioc Library. There he met Leo “The Zap”. Leo is a 9th degree lightning warlock who specialized in Shine extensions and Aeris quickly became friends with him. Leo helped Aeris with non-elemental 6th degree spells. All of these new friends have helped him rise up to the 5th degree and he has almost earned his 6th degree.
(AHHAHAHA YESSSS! IM DONE. AFTER ABOUT 1 hr of writing and 4 drafts. 4!!!!. Anyway yessssss)
OMG! I used the copy where Charlotte wasn’t in the bio!!! Whatever, About halfway through the story it goes like this, “While he was there, he met Dragoon Devon, and Charlotte Dreads. Devon was a Nodian arcaner who was wandering the world learning wild with his 9 degrees in lightning while Charlotte was a 11th degree fire warlock who was a very popular figure at the Academy in Solia. Aeris learnt his 4th degree with the help of Devon and Charlotte when the Legion came and burnt down the village and Aeris had to go into hiding again.”
Also don’t tell me I missed somebody because I’m too tired to go and put them in. (Lol tell me if I missed someone)
Uh sorry but Benjamin lived in pole ford to so you have to probably change that,sorry
Yea I forgot to switch out Blackhaven with Poleford but if you look at home it says Poleford.

Nooooooo! WHY I forgot LEO. I wish there was a way to edit your comments :(
Atticus”The Frozen Wins against Aeris”The Tornado” Volaris AT 4-1 cause of the mind spell then the kick adding up to 4 plus the other attacks. Good Game! Atticus’s score is about 5 wins and 1 loss(See last page to see the duel). And The Tornado’s score is 0 wins- 1 loss.
Probobly shouldn’t have chose one of the most powerful warlock for my first duel.😂 (Please do not take this the wrong way lol. Anybody I chose would’ve been stronger than me anyway😁)
No,we wouldnt be stronger than you, Everyone else has dueled 2-3 times(Sorry but your first duel with me didnt really count Alexander,no offense). Plus We have ALL Been Beaten by him. ANd we all fight different ways
Nice that was a LOT Quicker then me and atticus’s duel.
Yea lol. I really have no idea what I’m doing. Imma need to plan before my next duel lol
Thanks for including us all! Also nice story!

Another worthy contender! The arena crowd stands to welcome Aeris “The Tornado” Volaris!
Hii, it’s Spyte. I’ve changed my name bc I used spyte as a necromantic name. I chose wind instead so I thought this name would be a better fit. The bio and everything are the same. Speaking of which, imma go create a bio trying to incorporate all of the present warlocks. I’ve already included Atticus. Anyway, like the new name?
Also 5:00 P.M. was not a dueling time it was an example but i could duel someone that time tommorow.
The score is 2(Atticus)-1(Spyte) Atticus needs one more point to win! Spyte needs two!

He has also learned the Whisper Blade technique of blocking telekinesis.
Bio: Spyte lived in Blackhaven and just got his first degree at age 12 when the Legion invaded. He was related to a long line of warlocks who were always kind to the warlocks and non-warlocks alike. Spyte, not putting up for the torture and punishment they had, escaped into the woods. He then learnt his 2nd and 3rd degree wild. After that he found a small village in the mountains like Sparrows Perch. (I think that’s what it’s called). He then learnt his 4th degree when the Legion came and burnt down the village and Spyte had to go into hiding again. He started learning the 5th degree when the trio defeated the Legion and he returned home to Blackhaven. He found a mentor and is starting to train in 6th degree. His dream was always to go to the Antioc library and try the Labyrinth, and he is working towards that goal. He had met with a warlock by the name of Oishia Cavanugh who has worked at Antioc with Senior Arcaneologist Ning since age 10. He has started training with her as she has clever fighting techniques and has even created her own spell. This has helped him rise up to the 5th degree and he has almost earned his 6th degree.
Yea, I could add the training together part but can’t duel at 2:30. I’m at school at that time. I can do 3:00 tho. Can you do that? Sorry if this is messing up your schedule or something.
Oh your not I’m available at that time sounds good
Also just wanted to give some info,Mr.Bronny will be editing and adding rules such as more dice rolling and clearer rolls in around a week or so
I walk into the arena flash my rings and bow ,you go first
Sorry im late! When I got picked up my mom went to pick up starbucks. I tried to tell her I had something on but it sounded ridiculous. “Mom, I need to duel a 9th degree warlock who is also an attendant at the Antioc Library.
If your still on, ill say my move.
I flash by rings and bow. I immeaditely use Disarm, “Disablo!” and then strike out with my quarterstaff (My weapon)
Uh I didn’t summon a weapon,I cast diablo on you then kick you in the shin.
I roll away and then slap my wrists together shouting “Annihilo” while getting into a fightning position
I then quickly cast centarro and then us Pedro centarric focus I duck and then start to run at you to engage in combat
I re-summon my weapon, “Summano Arma”. Then I stepside your rush and do a quick jab with my weapon.
It pieces a 5 inch long slice on my waist I quickly cast shine on it so the wounds covered by ice to stop the bleeding then from my learning at ohm I quickly run and slide through your legs then get up and kick you in the back.
I fall over onto the ground. Before you can attack me again I yell, “Voidus vis” and cast Darkness. While in the darkness I swing my quarterstaff in a large circle, hoping to catch you off guard.
It catches me slightly off guard but I quickly hear the staff swooshing due to my centarric focus I remember you fell to the ground meaning I could jump over it so I do that the say voidus vis canceling the spell and the leaping backwards in a defensive position.
Surprised by the sudden burst of light I jump up and quickly snap, “Paralizo carcusa cemente” (I don’t know how this works, I think that after one mind armor hit, you are exposed to other mind attacks. Idk please clarify)
Ok so what it means is that you get two mind attacks you can choose which ones don’t do a thing,I rolled a six so nothing happens then I cast virtus vis vira and then run towards you and do a 360 kick.
Bruh I rolled a 1. I start flailing around but your roundhouse kick knocks me out cold. (I think that should be a win.) GG
Nvm, strength isn’t a mind spell. Anyway yea i think that’s a win for you
Ok good game I flash my rings and bow and then ask wanna go train?
Sure, and that’s the part I’ve added to the bio.
Hi, does a physical attack count as the one attack per text. For example, if I used Darkness and then kicked out at my opponent, would that count as two moves?
no i think you have 1 spell one melle attack.
P.S. What is your time(5:00 for instance?)
Well, im Pacific Time. So right now its 10:00 am for me and 1:00 pm for Eastern Time. If you mean what time I can duel, I can duel at 5:00 PST time but if its 5:00 pm est it would be 2 pm for me and I’m at school at that time. But I can do it at 5 pm PST
I agree
If you mean dueling than yes, I can duel at 5:00 pm PST, but not 5:00 pm EST bc im at school at that time. But yea can play at 5 pm PST
Oof sorry for second post. I thought my first comment didn’t come through lol.
Bio: Spyte (The Black Scar) Entros (Hope this is good and sorry if its long.)
Age: 15
I’m a 5th degree warlock with the element of wind. (I made this name thinking necromancy but read through comments saying I couldn’t).
Home: Blackhaven

Really cool, now we have an air warlock to do. We have some nice similarities in your character and mine with the learning wild aspect.
I’d like to mention that the anti-Telekinesis trick was Whisper Blade-only, but there are ways to escape telekinetic grips as Augum and enemies demonstrate by spinning and rolling, or counter-Telekinesis.
Cool! and sorry. I just won’t use the anti-telekinesis trick in duels. :)
no! you can learn the hard way! Remember Augum can sometimes cut the thing just only when it is on him.(he does it in flight battles)
True. But anyway im 5th degree so even if I can learn it I don’t think im strong enough to learn or whatever.
No no I wasn’t saying not to use it. I was suggesting that you incorporate that into your bio. As for 5th degree, yeah it would be hard without Reveal but you could go by instinct or start slashing like crazy in front of you, your choice.
Hi,Spyte wanna fight* I’m a fierce Ice warlock you can see my bio below,We could duel,also would you like to connect are bios as I live in the Antioc library,so we could connect that we know each other or something.Also every one should try to connect there bios to each others so we all know each other or something like that.
* I did that on purpose.
Sure Attendant. Can you give me a time PST. I can do it between 3:30 pm and 8:00 pm PST. And yea, once we duel or something Ill change my bio to something like. “Spyte wants to get into Antioc library. He had this inspiration from ‘Oishia Cavanugh’ and saw her knowledge in the many duels or something.’ Yea anyway, give a time’ :)
Also can it be a 5th degree duel?
Also, im PST
you new? Also lots of people are learning wild. Me,I think Leo,Devon, and you. Also Good job for NOT choosing lightning its a pretty popular choice around here.
I’m new to this Arena/website but I’m not new to the TAL and FOARD series. And yea, I was thinking of choosing lightning but I thought I would be unique and didn’t see any active members that had wind so I just chose that.
Excellent bio!
Thanks! I’ll post a bio and name soon.
I’ve been reading all of the books and just found this. I am kinda confused on how to make a bio. Do you just make it up or are there certain things you need to do to get a higher degree?
What we do is make up a story line most likely at least a bit connected to the main storyline of FoaRD and tAL and you can only do 10 th degree for now we don’t have info about how get higher defrees or ranks at the moment.
By the way Summer Break is started so i can duel pretty much any time after this friday!
Duel of Marek and Devon starts in about ten minutes! Remember to reload the page once you are done casting.
Hello children! Devon, five minutes late. at exactly 3:20, if you do not arrive, you forfeit. And Marek wins. ( He made me say this, I am very sorry.)
Team Marek! Go Marek!
P.S. I will choose my favorites for every duel. I like Marek better than Devon(not really just adding DRAMA;).)
*Gasps dramatically and acts affronted* Ye dare?
Due to both duelers being late I hereby issue that this match will start as a preselected time that works for both duelers,neither of them arrived so neither forfeit.
I’m here now! Very late, yeah I know. I was thinking I can make my introduction and so can Marek, then Marek takes the first turn and we’ll just spread it out a bit (Like Attendant Atticus and Kaden’s duel).
If that’s the case:
I storm into the center of the arena and begin rapidly Battle ‘Porting around the perimeter, before coming to a standstill in the center. I flash nine rings of viciously snapping lightning and bow deeply at the entrance I am sure my opponent will emerge from.
Team Devon,I converse with kaden wondering why Devon would waste such precious stamina?But I start to to clap for Devon.and same with me the more drama the better.
Also today is quite windy and cloudy it’s starting to sprinkle,may evolve into a treacherous storm.
Forgot to mention that I Meditate while Kaden makes his entrance. Whoopsie.
Fan of the diary things, so here goes:
I still feel the blood that soaked me… I hear the mighty roar of an army every time I sleep. Two wars now. To defend Nodia and then liberate Sithesia, both from Canterra. I saw dragons… I killed hundereds… I almost died too, but a healer… the dark Arcaner one… saved me. War never stops, for now I have a war with myself…
Excerpt from the diary of Einar Jenson
One time, a few years back, I was working in the quarry in the Tallows. I was just about to finish up when I saw a child, about my age, limping along the Gamber. He had fair skin and umber hair, but you could hardly see it through the blood and bruises that covered his body. I almost reached out to him, but something stopped me.
I still to this day don’t know what did…
-From the diary of Benjamin Davidson
hmm is that augum?
Maybe ;)
I dont have arinthian blood but i am distantly VERY DISTANTLY related to the southgards. Witch tecnically means Katrina.:(:(:( WHY CRUEL WORLD WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!????
Meh. There’s so much royal inbreeding I don’t think it matters anyway.
Wait your related to the con edgeworthes too…gasp
I know WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can i diskown them. Please. Please Pretty Please:)
Yes technically yes here is it on page 472 of legend you can find it I hereby before all these witnesses disown you in the old way,you are no longer family*.we are true blood enemies
* it was swapped with my son
Ok. So i disown you VonEdge worths.Blah Blah Blah WHatever that insult augum said that shocked everyone(Get tangeled in and fence and something to do with a pig)
P.S. Eric SOuthgard is kinda my role model.
My characters Role model. Though mine would NOT be Augum OR Bridget but wait it isssssssssss NOT Leera either. It is Uno Ojo(one eye)! He was brave, the last Arcaner, and sarificed his life for the trio.
Oh kaden the why don’t you three choke on hog tails and get tangled in a fence one,my roll model is definitely Erica scars on,Robbin scarson and harvus*
*as if mine are yet to be revealed
Sever Bronny,
This new arena is awesome, and I can’t wait to see how it grows and all the cool arcane battles to come!
But I had a suggestion to improve the dueling. One problem with the duels is that this page is open to everyone, so it can be confusing if multiple people are trying to duel, or someone confuses who their opponent is, or a third party is trying to comment in the middle of a duel.
To solve this problem, would it be possible to create individual chat rooms that only approved people could comment in, but were public to view? This way, no one accidentally interrupts a duel, but people can still witness the incredible arcane feats.
This also might allow for certain “guilds”, dueling groups, and school teams to form. For example, if your character was Solian, they could be a part of the Academy of the Arcane Arts’ dueling team, and compete against other schools in tournaments. The rooms could be tied to someone’s email, and they would be able to approve applications for their certain team or group.
I don’t know how hard that would be to do with this website software, but I think it would be a great feature if possible.
Thanks for your consideration,
Ben (Benjamin “Stonewall” Davidson)
That’s a lovely idea, Ben. Alas, the site is held on WordPress, so I don’t quite know how to implement a more fluid chat option. If anyone has any idea, I’m all ears (but it might be best to email me via the contact form as things can easily get buried here; I also get a lot of mail in general).
I am going to roll the dice! if it is 1 or 2 i win if not i bend the knee! It isssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa 2!
huh what do you mean????????
for our duel. I rolled the dice cause you guys said that i should of rolled. SInce i dint i rolled right now.
We were just thinking that all stacks should be rolled.
Just wanted to know, do any of you live out of the United states? I am looking up all of the time zones to make sure that everybody can have the exact time they can log on and view the duels.
I can duel the 27th, Eastern Time 3:00 p.m.. For PDT it’ll be around 3 hours behind me, so 12:00 p.m.. For Mountain, it’s only 2 hours behind, so 1:00 p.m.. For Central, it’s only 1 hour behind me, so 2:00 p.m.. NOTE: THESE ARE ALL TIME ZONES RELATIVE TO THE U.S. IF YOU LIVE SOMEWHERE ELSE, (Example, Germany per say) WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO DUEL.
Hey Marek, I’ll duel you. You can go first, and I’m 9th but need to know your degree so we match our spells. Also Eastern Time
Now who want’s to duel?
Imma take break for like 2 duels. I think Nathan did.
Ok Kaden
Who’s dueling now?
No clue
Devon do you want to duel????
Devon, I’m 9th degree as well. So, 3:00 p.m. Eastern Time.
The most relevant time for me’ll be the 27th, tomorrow.
Ok, that’ll work for me too, but it might spread over a few days like Attendant Atticus and Kaden’s duel.
Ooh I was just looking back at your character’s bio and realized that we’re both lightning warlocks. This’ll be interesting…
Does one of you have Arinthian heritage?
Could I be Mr.G I can do that till 4:45 also I’ll commentate while you guys fight if it goes on for days like kadens and mine.
Did a lot of commenting throughout the duel of Olishia “Frosty” Cavanaugh (Attendant Atticus) and Kaden “Wildfire” (just Kaden), so I thought I’ll do the Mr. G thing for the victory.
“With a quick telekinetic yank, Wildfire has won! A quick and creative duel that saw two fierce and imaginative combatants, Kaden “Wildfire” has won by a single point!” *Clap clap*
Thanks devon!
No problem
I I I starttted to SCREAM in shire TEROR I fall to the ground squirming around but after 1 minute and 15 or so seconds I get out of it.I then cast battle port and engage in battle but I ported a couple of feeet behind you to catch you off gaurd as well as so my spear can get you but you can reach me with your weapon.
I jump foward spinning around then the audience rors as i slap my wrist together yelling “Baka!”
Wrong gesture, Kaden. Push requires a shoving gesture, hence spell failure.
Darnit Devon! Was trying to fake him!:(
Oops sorry
As you jumped and spinner I did a telkenisrs on your foot to make you fall,then I move forward to pierce you with my spear
its okay Devon.
going for the last hit i yank your foot ending it for 2-3 i think.With me being the 3.
Huh also wouldn’t we do a dice rolls to see if they failed or if they were correctly casted.Dont know though.Also didn’t I trip you on my turn then engage in battle so how could you have done that when I did that?
I agree, Attendant. Dice rolls should be required for Telekinetic attacks.
Devon I agree but when kaden and I were fighting whenever we did a spell or attack we rolled so I think the last couple of attack should have been rolled
Hi everybody! Marek told me I should try to duel somebody. So, here is my dueling “profile”.
Name: Charlotte Emerald Dreads (Her friends call her Charlie. A very unfortunate last name, mostly due to the fact that she actually really loves her life. Well, when her family was in it she loved it.)
Element: Fire
Degree: 11th
Age: Seventeen
Looks: Blonde hair, Blue eyes, Tall, wears black a lot.
Backstory: (get ready this is gonna be looooooong.)
Charlotte Dread came from a very long line of Warlocks. Her family was very, very, wealthy, so she got into the academy easily. She loved to show off her skills in her hometown of Blackhaven. Charlie easily got into the academy at age twelve, due to her skills and her family’s money. And quickly became a star pupil. She met many powerful students, and quickly became popular among them all. At her sixth year, the war started. Blackhaven was destroyed. Along with her family. She spent many days searching for their body’s. She never found them. She heard of the trio, who had tried to save Blackhaven. She heard of the fight against Orion, in Blackhaven, and later, the Tallows. She believed in their cause. Today, she is a even more powerful, 11th degree. Age seventeen.
I’m up for a duel, but there’s a degree cap of 10th
hey fellow Fire!:) But dont get too cocky cause your 11th some of us*COUGH ATTENDANT COUGH* could still DESTROY you.
Got a question are you related to haylee Esmeralda tennason because your both in the higher class and have emerald in your name?
Sorry auto correct was weird.
No. Emerald is my middle name.
Want to duel tenth degree Moira?
Hey everyone. So I’m just going to duel the first person to respond to this, we dont have to be on at the exact same time as that is unlikely. So, I walk out onto the arena floor, flare 9 rings of air laced with glowing energy, and now to my opponent.
I bow to my opponent*
dude me and atticus are dueling. Hold your horses.
Yeah I know, I’m just saying that if someone besides you two want to duel I’m open. If you want me to wait until you guys are done that’s fine, just saying that people have been wanting to duel besides you two so just giving other people a chance. :)
ok, but maybe you should wait because we might get mixed up. Or we could type the name of who we are dueling the begining of every turn.
I think typing our opponents name is a good idea, let’s try that and if theres confusion then we can back it off to one duel at a time.
i twirl aside the spear and i toss you to the side when you are still mid-air earning 1 point i think.
P.S. I am really good with push and telekineies.
You can only use one spell per turn and I lunged and hit you with the spear and it’s tied to my hand.what does toss you to the side mean?
Atticus. i did use 1 spell. telekinieses. it meant when you jumbed and threw the spear at me i tossed you at the wall. “Flustrato!” i yell
What happened was I jumped back then I lunged* and while I was lunging I t thrusted the spear,So when I thrusted did you use telekineses to push me down?
If so I then I’ll do my move after you pushed me?I rise and then use all my might and use telekinesis to hold the the cart and then push it towards you,so it will fall on you.
* look up what thrusts are on google or safari?
when you jumped over my confusion casting i tossed you to the side. I jump to to the side stumbling and falling than yelled “Flustarato!” Again.
Ok,then I rolIed a four so then I cast summano multa elemental skala*Which I do one right by be one in front of you a couple of feet and the other two on both of your sides,I made them have sharp ice rocks on the top,I then set my elemental weapon on the nearby rock
*The last word in the spell skula is changed depending on the element so this one is for ice and I’ll come out with the others soon enough.
i yell “Ignito!” melting all the rocks then turning them to puddles. Then i take a few steps backwards.
But ignito can only melt one rock because there’s 4 rocks so you can only melt one.But now ill do my turn,I then levitate my spear from the rock which made the spear super super cold,do how cold the rock was it made even more layers now I run with the the spear floating by my side right towards you which should hit you with the way I’m running.
I yell ¨Flustrato!¨ Than raise my sheild bracing for impact.
I rolled a two for the confusion,so I stumble about for around 45 seconds but then I get out of it,1 point to kaden,I decided to roll a number for if the spear would break the shield and pierce you I’m using the same system as the mind attacks,but I roll a six so no effect,then now I start my turn i then I run away from you then I suddenly turn around and run at you but around 1 meter away from you I go to the ground and slide then lift my spear up so that it would hit your stomach as I’m sliding then I roll away and cast summano multa elemental skala but have the rocks all form around your feet so that your trapped by them and now the ice is creeping up your torso.
Wow i yell disablo! then i do my best to jump.
Luckily at the start I tied a hair tie to my summoned weapon,I’m going to do a roll to see if it works or not your jump i mean,shoot I rolled a six so the jump works perfectly,I then cast spectral teleport and try to hit you,then I immediately run next to one of my summoned elemental rocks,The I ice starts to form on my skin*
* Basicly a homemade mini ice armor.
actually 6 means bad not perfect. So say you hit me for 1 hit then the rest follows as usaull.and no spect so and i jump backwards and wist my arm yelling “dreadus terriblus!”
oh yeah limit is 6th cause i am 6th.
I realize now that I forgot everything IMPORTANT in my backstory, so here goes:
Summoned Weapon: A Cutlass
Element: Lightning (If the name wasn’t enough)
Most Powerful Move/Spell: Shine Extensions
LEO IS NOW WILLING TO DUEL ANYONE WHO IS UP TO THE TASK. . .
The audience stands to welcome Leo “The Zap”! There have been rumors that he is quite capable with his summonable cutlass blade…
i didnt first move just bowed. Now attack.
“Flustrato!” i yell twisting my arm. “Anihilo!” the audiance roars as i slap my arms together. “Ignito!” i target the sand under your feet making it REALY hot.
sorry forgot my name.
Rule 9 let’s us only cast one spell per turn.
REALLY SORRY IF MY RULEMONGERING GETS ON ANYONE’S NERVES, JUST A DM FOR D&D AND IT’S LIKE MY DOMAIN.
P.S. Caps lock.
i’ve always wanted to do D&D… Well meh. Also Natahn you should do a bio for your guy.
k then i just do confusion.
Ok I rolled a 5 then I do summano totals amari also me having the ice armor makes sure no heat will really come in also can I cast my spell summon minor elemental rock or as the abbreviation Smer,I then run and I gave in hand to hand combat.
1 spell remember. and we get 1 free hit for mind armor.
also that aror was miscast. Check spells.
Kaden last turn I tried to summon my armor but it didn’t work and then I engaged in battle with you,also can I cast my spell in this duel because you could?
ok i summon my firey axe saying “Summano Arma” Then jumbed forwards to engage.
Ok I then cast centarro and do a perfect jump back words and shoot my spear forward whilst doing a lung3 for maximum effect
Just saying that was me doing the move
I calmly stroll into the arena then show my nine rings and bow then I cast Summano Arma and then take out the hair tie and form a bond between my hand and the spear.
Hey Attendant, no clue who you’re dueling (know it’s not me), just wanted to mention that tying your summoned weapon does nothing. If it is a real weapon, Disarm yanks it away. If it’s a summoned weapon, it simply vanishes. Hence, the tying wouldn’t be beneficial.
btw y’all, not trying to be a knowitall. I’m just a D&D Dungeon Master so… rules and logic and stuff is my favorite.
Oh I though that it did because in FoaRD in the practice duel they said that augum asked if they had any straps because if so the it to your weapon to stop disarm.Also I’m trying to fight kaden because look below he did his first move.
Oop didn’t see that part (with Kaden, not the practice duel). As for the practice duel, Augum had the five (five?) Ordinary swordsmen do so, but not warlocks.
Who wants to duel tommorow?
Why couldn’t you duel? I might be able to play tomorrow but It has to be 6:00 pdt or earlier
I telort in the arena and bow then unsummon my weapon you go FIRST!
i think it’s funny that there were like 5 duels in 2 days then mr.auther made this and there hasn’t been a duel yet
lol
Same
Let’s duel kaden,first you go first second do our spells we made count?
Whos mr.g
Where are you”???
ok,also i was sleeping was night. The audiance roars as i sprint into the arena summoning a firey sheild. I flash m ringes and bow unsommoning my sheld.
Let’s duel at 12:00 PDT kaden
uhm are you Attendent? Also i have to do school then. What about 6:30 PDT?
Hmm yes I think I can,also I really like your bio
Do you like my spell I made.
yes and thank you.
Small add on to my character. He stole a book of arcanery from a store and saw that you could make your own spell. So he made a spell after years and it sucked all his stamina and nearly gave him Arcane fever. His spell is that he can say “Ignito!” and focus on anything warming it up to any tempeture. He also had Harvard for his only mentor outside of AAA.
Think you should talk to Mr. Bronny about spell creation, ’cause to me it sounds like in his books it takes a master warlock, basically an Unnameable.
But the creativity is nice! Boil you opponents lol
ok. But can i use it in the mean time. i mean just to slightly heat stuff up?
I don’t know, I’d ask Mr. Bronny, and I suggest an e-mail because things get buried here.
I think You can keep it but each of us can make a 1-5 ish kind of spell in tell Mr.Bronny responds also Mr.Bronny good at answer ping questions he looks at all of the and answers all of them.
Yes, a lot slips through because of the sheer amount of messages here (I also get a lot of mail in general). At this time, there officially will be no ability to make unique spells (until a published version of that power becomes available, that is). But I love the initiative and imagination! :)
Here’s my backstory:
Age: 16
Name: Leo “The Zap”
Home: Crimson Tooth
Degree: 9th Degree
Backstory: Leo is from Crimson Tooth, where he was forced to learn arcanery wild, because his family was to poor to afford to move to Iron Feather to get him in the Academy. Soon, the war against all of Sithesia started, and his father was conscripted into the army. Leo thought this was a prime opportunity to meet the fabled Trio. Since he was but a child he didn’t understand at the time that they were at war. So, he traveled to Solia with his father. He then did odd jobs to get into the Academy. At age 14 he finally got enough coin to go for a year at the Academy. He was very competent at Arcanery, so he climbed the Degrees. Now, he is 16, a 9th degree, and a Solian citizen.
Awesome, and quite accomplished!
Also this is my spell I would make summon elemental rock,it’s a 8th degree spell that summons 3 rocks,each degree after they gain size and every three degrees they summon one more rock,The rock corresponds to the element if it was a fire element then it would be blazing hot rocks that could be maneuvered by the caster and would hurt for all other elements,the wording is this,”summano multa elemenantal skala”,the corresponding motions are here you visualize you taking arcane stamina and bunching it together forming a rock,the gesture is your hands moving as if you were forming something in your hand.As you get more experenced you can vary the heat or cold,the size and even the form of it.I hope it sounds intresting!
very…unique.rock.
Also what does elemantal armor do?
We’d have to talk to Mr. Bronny about that, but I would assume it would let you take X amount of hits, Mr. Bronny choosing what X is depending on the degree.
thanks devon. Say…you up for a duel.
Added its function to the rules, thanks!
Who is dueling again?
Who… wants… to…DUEL!?
I do
To this day I am living in Antioc and am learning from the library and Ning,
Her summoned weapon is a spear and is a fierce warlock who knows some spells of the order and may even know some spells raptos taught him making him a fierce warlock.
May have even traversed in the legendary castle of babhell.
Wants to be a famous warlock and have some freinds her age and be a dragon
can someone duel say noon at their time tommorow? Just say the timezone.
name: Alexander “The light” Titan
bio: Alexander grew up in the desserts of sierra growing grapes.He wanted to do arcanery at a young age but was always afraid of doing things wrong because it was his fault his parents were found and killed by the legion when on a trip to sell their grapes.so instead of asking for his grandmothers help he learned arcanery wild for a couple months until he was discoverd.his grandmother taught him and at 12 he got his first degree in lightning.when canteria invaded solia he thought solia deseved it and attempted to join the canterrian military.he was sent to tideria which he didn’t expect and was forced to watch as his fellow soldiers killed tiderians to balance thier blood debt.when the battle between the dragons happend he was one of the gound troops that was foced to leave his blade a family hierloom behind.he went back to solia to attempt to steal it from the army’s armoury. he succeded and decided to stay in soilia, now thought dead by his family and friends in sierra and learning at the academy in solia.
i kinda did this wrong and just told his story and not about him so
Alexander wants to be an arcaneologist and study dreadnought tools especially.he dreams of going to the leyan library and learning about dreadnought and riven craftsmanship to attempt to forge more dreadnought tools and armor.in battle he is passive but not defensive instead choosing to only evade and counter attack or use obscure stratagies such as shrink and chameleon to get weak hits but a lot of them.he dosent like to be the first to attack even in duels but will take any advantage after that.
also dont think i said but alexander titan is 19 and 8th but knows 9th and practices 10th.is ready for 8th and 9th degree test.or would it be 9th and 10th degree test?
summon weapon is an axe.i said that he had a blade but by that i meant battle axe.also its dreadnought steel
Alexander, for the part of being 8th but learning the 9th and 10th degrees, see rule 7, which states that we don’t learn beyond the degrees for simplicity. Also, artifacts and outside tools are left behind in the arenas (see Augum’s arena duels, particularly with Katrina) so the Dreadnought axe is nice but can’t be used in the duels.
Added a way to purchase Dreadnought equipment :)
Dragoon Devon “Wild Storm” Lucheinus, bio.
Devon grew up in a wild middle-of-nowhere town in Nodia, fighting amongst the animals, training physically and mentally, and doing rigorous farmwork. Later, he discovered his arcane talents at 13, attending Nodia’s academy (Hearthfire, I believe). He ascended quickly, as he is a 9th degree lightning warlock at only sixteen. Devon was thankful for his youth that built strength and combined said strength with potent arcanery. As a result, he is a fierce offensive combatant who wields brute force, such as devastating Offensives, a powerful summoned flail, and (his favorite) Strength. Devon was also amongst the first Nodians to join the Arcaner order as a Dragoon, learning the Birth, Roar, and Mirror Simuls.
Hope you enjoy, and I’m looking forward to dueling!
Devon no one is a arcaner. I am just training FOR Arcaner hood.
You sure? Must have misenterpreted Rule 10 where it mentions Mirror of the Dragon.
Scratch that, everyone!
I am one of the first Nodians to train as an Arcaner then.
Devon is also a wanderer now in Solia, found often amongst the Henawa. He learns arcanery on his own (but has a book) and gets his degrees by visiting cities. His aspirations are to become a battlefield commander if he fails the Squire test. If he passes, he wants to become an honorable and brave and mighty Dragoon. Regardless, he knows his future holds blood and war for him.
he dies if he fails the arcaner squire test
Are you sure? It sounds to me like you can die within the trial, but can also fail by breaking the Code yet still live. I’m drawing on how Dragoon Pelagia said “You cannot retake this trial,” and Dragoon Trintus Bladeofbright said in the Dragoon written test, “Unlike the Squire trial, you may retake this test next term upon failure.”
I wanted to say that but didnt want to sound like a know it all. Not that you are a know it all Alexander.
Add-on: I was also one of the Nodian warlocks sent to Solia during the war with Canterra
I love where you guys are taking this.
Warning it is kinda long and 0.00001 percent like Augum’s.Here is my Bio:kaden grew up on the Grindlemen’s farm on the Tallows yet he was canteran. He was an orphan. He always wanted to know the arts of necromancy. He is a fire element. He left at 10 because the legion was coming. He was on the run and secretly faught against the legion, and he also learned arcaney secretly. When the Legion was defeated he was happy but didnt openly celebrate. He went to the academy but stayed quit. When the canterans invaded he helped the canterans. A little Solian sabotage there and little intel for the Cantterans there. He when he fights in the arena he isn’t kaden anymore. He is kaden Wildfire. He is quick on his feat and is said he is becoming a Arcaner.
So, how do you like it? The first part is basically the only simularities to Augum. Sorry for misspellings.
1 last thing. He learned wild for every degree exept 5th and landed at 6th and is still going.
This one’s awesome too!
Name: Benjamin “Stonewall” Davidson
Age: 17
Element: Earth
Bio: Benjamin grew up in the small town of Poleford, a settlement on the Gamber River in the Tallows. He’s not the sharpest sword in the armory, but surprisingly quick with learning new things, which has allowed him to advance all the way to the 7th degree. He believes a solid defense is the best offense, and relies on his opponents wearing themselves down before he finishes them off with a single combo. He often trains with he feet rooted in the ground, favoring his shield over agile movement. His dream is to one day learn the fabled “Mirror of The Dragon” arcaner simul, which would turn him into even more of a defensive powerhouse.
ok. That…just..WOW! I gotta make my own Bio.
these are all amazing! I’m gonna put mine here to! it would be cool if we all had one we used in battle.
copy pasted wrong thing. definitly not a password …anymore (:
yes i mean the name WAS a password. Suifbow* good by my favorite computer generated password.
Awesome bio, Ben!
I found a dice thing. It is “* Number Dice (1-6)”
I am here, Attendant, and ready to duel!
I shall Be Mr.G!
Great Kaden
Hey Attendant, I found something for the dice situation. It’s called dnddiceroller.com and will let us roll several different types of dice.
cool I duel you any time after 2:00 pdt
Sorry meant 2:30 pdt
Sorry, Attendant. Missed it cause I had a prolonged guitar practice and then went to my sister’s softball practice. We need to choose a day ahead. How about tomorrow, 11PM (8 for you)?
8pm I might probably will because it’s Friday night so I’ll try.
Great! Anyone up to be Giovanni?
Good find, Devon. Added to Arena rules!

me
yes i like to duel aswell
Ok tomorrow at 12:00 PDT I will be fighting anyone.Anyone can be Mr.G.
I won’t be able to make that duel! I’m sorry Attendant Atticus! I have a google meet for a club I’m interested in joining!
Oh cool
same but my club would be school.
Ok also Mr.Bronny said that we should say in the arena what sort of dice based things we should have and then I’ll send it to him,so just write your
Ideas and we will discuss them and diside what we want for it.
Okay, how 3 (10AM for you I’m not sure of like school cause Covid)?
P.S. Four lightning warlocks going nuts would be cool, choose the element you want.
*On Monday
sorry cant do 5 at school. What about 6ish?(your time)
Hello I am the frozen a 9 degree ice warlock(this is my temporary degree and element),from ohm with a summoned staff and a fierce combatent I’m pacific daylight time and on weekdays can fight mostly anytime.
I am Wild Storm, lightning, I’ll fight on any degree. A fierce war-trained Nodian with a summoned triple-flail. Also weekdays, Eastern time, I can fight after I duel Kaden if you want
Whos going duel?
Small ammendment on my character, I’m a Dragoon at 9th degree
Forgot the Dragoon, realized I should choose a degree as well
I may or may not be able to duel tomorrow; but I’ll see if I can!
Here’s my info:
5th Degree Lightning Warlock, I’m not an Arcaner, (I’m not sure if any of us are) and I can duel almost any day of the week, I’m Eastern Time.
Also, I’ll be known as “The Zap”
P.S: Thank you SO much Mr. Bronny for making The Arena!
I’m from Canterra! (I believed I spelled that right I don’t have the books in front of me!)
You’re most welcome, Marek. Thank you for participating, and enjoy the new rule amendments!
Hi, love this by the way, glad we were able to make a new section for it:) I am going to be an air warlock because all the ones in the books are savages, and I’m gonna be 9th degree because we dont know much about the tenth degree (would love some clarification on that if possible mr. Bronny) I’m good to duel pretty much anytime (I’m in mountain time usa)
Amended to only use up to 9th degree, seeing as the 10th hasn’t been published in the books much yet :)
actually i will just be fluent. Tenth is okay with me devon
on wensday.
Wednesdays work different for me, I can actually do it at 11PM (6 for you) If you want
I am 6th degree. Though i do know,all 7th an 8th mind spells,though they are weaker.
small correction,though at the top it says time to show your kills, instead of skills.
Good eye! Fixed.
I must think for a while on my temporary element also who else saw the thing about the trio in the last paragraph was quite interesting we should do rolls also for elemental attacks,physical attacks and would if it was stormy would lightning have an advantage or if it was snowing one for ice?Can you have multiple elements though for simplicity I’m guessing for now no.
remember no necromany or healing so atticus you have to temperaily change till he allwos necromany.
P.S. I am now blowtorch cause no necromany.
WAHOOO!
Who want’s to duel? I am a fierce lightning warlock bred for combat by Nodia, available at any degrees but prefering the highest. Eastern US time.
ill duel you cuese atticus has to change. When?
sorry,name
Sometime Monday-Friday. You’re on Hawaiian Time though, right?
Also, what degree do you want to do? I like the tenth. And I take it your element is fire?
its doing the thing where i cant see what i typed.):
this is for devons text. That sounds good to me,i am on hawaii times, yes. And ya i am fire. for now might change to ice.
P.S. I wanted lightning but thats what everyone has.
it appears we have to willing duelers but will they duel eachother? also one is necro-healing and the other is necro-fire so…what degree are they? will they accept me as master of ceremonies?who knows!
i dont feel like getting my but kicked so i will uel devon when he is ready. And it is okay with me if your MOC.(Mater Of Ceremonies)
i am gonna duel… someone.
who are going to be the first duelers.i want to be the first master of ceremonies if thats okay with duelers.
I Shall fight first,I’m so happy about ranks and everything!
another thought is who rolls the dice- the attacker or the defender.i think it should be the master of cermonies if there is one.
Defender makes the roll.
And good call! Made a note in the rules.
hey sever sorry for ruining the disscusion page.(:
No problem at all! It’s my fault for not catching on earlier and creating the arena for you guys when you needed it.
Welcome all combatants! I wish you luck in your duels, and look forward to seeing how the arena develops over time.
