Chapter 883 First Match

"Are you sure we should not cast any enchantment spells before we enter the ring?" Marcus asked Mrazivý.

Currently they were standing just outside the entrance to the arena's floor where they would be participating in the Muharib Festival's duo tournament.

Unlike in the tournament held in Borealia, magic was not allowed to be cast during the Muharib Festival matches.

This was because high tier spells were often too unruly to control in a limited area, plus the culture in Aezam was far more heavily focused on close quarters fighting. Unlike Borealia which had an extremely prestigious institution like the Guldur Spire that promoted the advancement of magic, Aezam did not have anything similar. There were very few high-level mages in the country.

Though while magic could not be used during the matches, it was still acceptable to cast long duration spells such as those that increased stats or ones that created long lasting barriers.
