Vigo ath Trista, a power Word Mage who presented the judges and the officials of the Mages Games a writ from his government allowing him to participate in these games, took on Malute the Ogre from the Northern Shield.
Malute began by casting Troll method magicks, of mist bound with fear. Vigo, using command magick on himself, was able to defeat the fear of the mist.
Malute began to compliment Vigo, when Vigo began to laugh. Bewildered, Malute began to ask why Vigo was laughing.
Vigo commented, "When a Power Word Mage begins to laugh, it is already too late." Malute then found himself, tangled in a web of an arcane monster and unable to continue the battle.
It should be noted that Vigo then competed against Tal-Rok of the Horde Union. Vigo began his last battle by insulting the Great Orc on his lack of language skills.
Tal-Rok commented mildly in both ancient Kingdom and ancient Pacfin, "I do not think it is I who needs a lesson on language? Please check your hands."
Vigo was bound from foot to head in arcane binds of the Arcane Spider. Like Malute, Vigo was unable to continue. After the duel, Malute was seen congratulating Tal-Rok.
Karatta ath Kenda, a Weather Witch competed against Klaus ath Verdar. At the beginning of her Duel, she set her caldron on her stand and was unable to get a fire started. Klaus, a power word mage, graciously offered to assist. She readily accepted his help. He then created a fire magically on her woodpile.
Moments later, he asked. "Are you ready to begin?" Her reply puzzled him "Good sir, I have already started." Klaus began to target his spells when he realized he could no longer move or concentrate. The Weather Witch smiled and Klaus conceded the battle.
