As the smoke clears, the masked wizard bows to Rini. Then he turns to the Bright Necromancer.
"Your grasp of primal energies remains impressive. But unless you learn to apply them properly, you shall always fail. I remain amenable to a rematch if you wish it."
(Hey Jeph, these mage-duels are always fun. Hopefully the Bright Necromancer will gain a rank at some point, so that we can demolish one another with even greater fervor. Alternatively, maybe you can get into the Hall of Records with "longest losing streak" or "most sequential fights as a White Belt" or something like that. By the way, why didn't you play your "The southern cross parts the city; waves away the tempest of the pole!" move during that final round? I was pretty confident you'd be able to win the round with that one.)
