Reynold looks at Warren and the other judge. Both shook there heads. "None of the judge have seen Jik'tu touching your crossbow. Would it be possible to cast that spell from some range?" he asks to the third judge.
"No, you must touch it. It is always to modify the range of a commonly known spell, but it ask to be a master in his art to do so."
"Fine, all weapons are inspected between each round, and no magical aura have been detected at that moment, so the one who have done this is subtle."
"Most likely he had to cast a silent version of that spell, and many spell can be cast without drawing too much attention."
"Ok, but what about the curse?"
"Simple spell, mastered by many church at very low power. Can be cast from short range. It could have been cast by you, me, or any contestant who has the favor of a god. That mean Jik'tu could have easily cast it. And I think all people have been enough absorbed by the last contestants that anyone could have done this without attracting too much attention." says Warren.
"It doesn't eliminate Jik'tu, but it is not necesserly him. But tell me, what is that bet, and who is implicated by that bet?"
