“My trick? Hit their casting hand and they lose their advantage. So far, I’m undefeated.”
—Alessia, Lorehold duelist
Well you see, students are mostly young, brazen, full of wonder and desire. With each new spell learned they become more and more eager to test their magic in real situations, libraries and classrooms can only go so far in teaching what magic can really do. It is not surprising that students find alleys and tavern lots to test their mettle. It is mostly friendly sparing, but sometimes someone ends up hurt? Or worse? Of course they do, but that’s what healing magic is for, for everything else, there’s always necromancy.
