I have finally advanced to the stage where I am now eligible to attempt The Trials. I stand alone at one end of the great hall. Columns flank each side of the vast chamber, my classmates peering from behind them to watch the coming spectacle. I will either rise in triumph or fall from grace in the struggle.

"Prepare to defend yourself, young mage." he intones as he raises his hand towards me.
The contest begins...
