Wizard Battle is a competitive strategy game for two or more Wizards and one Wizard Overseer, who runs the game. Dominate other Wizards in the field of Wizard Battle through your magical and mental might! Battle takes place over a series of turns in which Wizards privately perform their actions, all the while engaging in secret diplomacy with one another; cunning and ruthlessness will get you everywhere. All consequences are described simultaneously by the Overseer, as every Wizard can watch their fate - good or bad - unfold. But it's not set in stone, as time manipulating magics allow diabolical flexibility. Ultimately, at the end of the Wizard Battle, the Wizard not yet blown to pieces or driven insane wins access to the Wish spell and the title of #1 Wizard! Features:
Basic Rules posted:Wizard Battle is a game for two or more Wizards and a single Wizard Overseer, who runs the game. Each Wizard should state his or her name (e.g. Shayla the Powerful, X'thul'malrn, Bob from Evil Accounting) and give a hint to their personality (e.g. “Shayla is arrogant and hates accountants.”) During Wizard Battle, play takes place in a series of turns. A normal length Wizard Battle would take 10 turns, while a short Wizard Battle would take 5 turns and a long Wizard Battle would take 20 turns. There can be as many turns as decided by the Wizard Overseer before the game begins. Terms posted:Action: A Wizard's decision for what to do on a turn. All actions are Spells or Not Spells. Available Actions posted:Offensive Spells Will take anywhere from 4 to 8 Wizards. 48 hours per turn. 10 turn Wizard Battle.

edit: Wait wait, I changed my mind. I'm Masseter the Myoidic. Masseter is the last remaining disciple of the Buffomancy school. Masseter can use his muscle mass as a direct channel to the aether, meaning he only needs to manipulate his own physical energy to cast spells and does not have to rely upon tearing the veil that separates the physical and magical planes.

the Supreme Cogblight is a dark mirror of the hubristic mechanomancers who conjured him. He craves gemstones, goblets, and pellets of all kinds. Kellsterik fucked around with this message at 21:16 on Nov 25, 2014 |

Two thing I want to note real quick: This will be a 10 turn Wizard Battle & The first deadline will be a bit longer (On Saturday instead of Friday) to facilitate those doing thanksgiving/black friday stuff. Deadlines will return to normal 48 hours afterwards.

Jibbles the Beardomancer. Don't ask for a moustache, his craft is not so... refined.

Epsilon Plus, a totally normal North American housecat, definitely doesn't have any reality-warping magical powers. Absolutely cannot conjure fire, affect the flow of time, etc. Real cute though! Scratch my belly.

Turn 1 It's turn 1, ladies and gentlemen, and it's off to a roaring start! Callahan, master of wizardry, ghosts & goblins & such, Jibbles the Beardomancer, and Supreme Cogblight work their individual magics to collectively become Invisible while Masseter the Myoidic and POPOPOLIS the GEOCITIESMANCER unleash devastating Fireballs. With quick thinking, Mickey Louse throws up a shield. Not so quick thinking #1 Wizard Mills tries to Punish Offense Masster, but the Fireball refuses to be redirected. Speaking of those on the slow side, A totally normal North American housecat correctly predicts Mickey's shielding by using Predict Defense, but the cat-like reflexes still can't dodge the Fireball. MARIANUS, LORD OF THE DEEP has an electrifying idea and shows it to Masster in the form of a Lightning Bolt, who isn't pleased. Total Damage: Totally normal North American housecat (Epsilon Plus): 2 #1 Wizard Mills (Mills): 2 Mickey Louse (Ernie.): 0 Masseter the Myoidic (Somberbrero): 4 POPOPOLIS the GEOCITIESMANCER (Gabriel Pope): 1 Callahan, master of wizardry, ghosts & goblins & such (oldskool): 2 Jibbles the Beardomancer (Baron Fuzzlewhack): 2 Supreme Cogblight (Kellsterik): 2 MARIANUS, LORD OF THE DEEP (Bendigeidfran): 2 It is now Turn 2. Deadline is Saturday, the 29th, at 11 PM EST Emmideer fucked around with this message at 05:06 on Nov 28, 2014 |

I have lost the battle to a dubiously worded spell. Alas.

Also I see now that my greatest failure was simply failing to cast fireball like everyone else.

I feel like you should put that in errata somewhere if you release an updated version (unless I missed it). My 2c as #1 Wizard.

By the way, Wizard Battle is 10% off for Black Friday only, to drum up some initial hype.
