User blog:SkullinBones1/Wizard Battle Royal. Turjan of Miir vs Caleb Widogast vs Raistlin Mejere

Magic has been a concept humans have believed in for thousands of years. Be it be some sort of Devine magic given to a follower of a certain religion or a spell one reads from a book, people have believed or at least been interested in some sort of magic since humans first made became civilized (and probably long bofore). Today I will be comparing 3 of Fantasties greatest, if not a little underated wizards.

Turjan of Miir: the lord of Miir and Wizard of the Dying earth.

Caleb Widogast: the great transmuter and Wizard of the Mighty Nein.

Raistlin Mejere: the red mage and the Wizard of the hero's of the lance.

Magic systems.
In this battle, we sill be comparing 2 different magic system. Both Raistlin and Turjan uses a Vancian magic system in their settings. In Vancian magic, you learn a spell by reading a formula for it off a card, letting it lodge into your mind. If you speaks if name, it will leave your mind a be cast. If you want to recast the spell, you must read it again. A mage can only read and memorize a certain number of spells.

Caleb uses the Magic system used in Modern 5e D&D. This system has you preparing several spells, and then casting them using a sort of mana. This Mana manifests in something called a spell slot. These slots vary depending of the level of power of the spell, getting fewer spell slots the more powerful the spell you are casting is. You can also cast a lower level spell with a higher level spell slot, making it more powerful.

Turjan or Miir


'''Turjan of Miir was a skilled fighter and powerful Wizard of the dying earth. His younger life is unknown, though he is likely the son of a great lord. By the time we meet him, appeared to be a student of a lesser known field of magic, that being the creation of artificial humans. His lack of ability to make unaltered humans caused him to take council with the wizard Pandelume. The 2 made a deal, with Turjan retrieving a magical amulet for Pandelume, and Pandelume gave him his secrets of replication. Turjan used this knowledge to make several effective artificial humans, soon return home.'''

'''The next time we see him is when he was taken captive by the evil Wizard Mazerian. He was effected a shrinking curse, making him appear to be only a foot or so tall, and being trapped in a chamber with a dragon wyrmling. Mazerian was torturing him to try and take his knowledge of human replication, though Turjan refused to submit. He would eventually be saved by one of his replications, a woman named T’sain.'''

Equipment.

'Runic Bracelet''. This bracelet allowed him to defend himself from incoming spells and melee attacks from magically enchanted weapons. Sword. While his sword wasn’t described in detail in the book, based on the fact that he lived in a medieval tech world, it's likely that he carried a medieval arming sword. The sword would have been about 3 feet long. The blade was very fine, the tip off it being about the cut the flesh of the warrior women T’sais with only a light graze.'''

Caleb Widogast


'''Caleb widogast was a Humans wizard who lived in the land of wildmount. He was born to 2 peasants and was sent to a Wizard academy at a young age. He he would be trained and eventually molded into a willess and hyper aggressive battle mage, acting as a watchdog. On one of his first missions, he was sent to kill his own parents.

He lost his mind for a short time, being sent to a sanitarium, only breaking free after his mind was cleared through some magical anomaly.'''

'''After escaping, Caleb took up the rough life, soon joining a group of adventurers he met along the road. He and these adventurers (Beau, Fjord, Molly, Jester, Nott and Yasha and later Caduceus). This group would eventually be known as the Mighty Nein, and they would become famous over all of Wildmount, acting as a neutral party in and fighting/working for whoever has the most coin to offer.'''

X factors.
Fitness:''' Turjan Appeared to be a young man in his 20s. He showed to be fairly fit physically, being able to over power T'sais physically in a grapple. He was also able to stay awake for days, constantly avoiding a dragon wyrmling that he was trapped in a room with. Caleb was a an adult male in his early 30s. He wasn't trained to be a soldier, but he showed to be a tough as nails. In his youth be was able to power through good deals of pain, surviving the insane tortures he was subjected too in his training. Raistlin was a human male in ihs 20s. He wasn't very physically healthy. He was often very sick in his youth, being so sick that he couldn't walk during most of his childhoom. This destroyed him physically, making him very prone to injury and making him get taken out easily by physical strikes.'''

'''Melee combat: Turjan showed to adept in melee combat. His best showing was when he defeated the mounted warrior women T'sais. While she was mounted and carried both a bow and sword, he was still able to beat her through intelligent uses of melee weapons and by taking advantage of her less optimal mount position while in close combat. Caleb wasn't a very skilled melee warrior. He showed to be competant in melee combat, using a dagger to great effect against bandits. Raistlin often struggled in melee combat. While he carried weapons, is physical weakness and frail build made him weak in melee combat.'''

'''Experience: Turjan didn't appear to be very experienced in combat. He didn't seem to be a guy who enters into melee combat much if at all. He also showed to fall for rooky mistakes, almost dying in his duel with the prince after the prince baited him to walk onto a trap door, almost falling to his death. Caleb had much experience. During his time with the Mighty nein, he helped in the killing of giant monster, lesser gods, spirits and greatly powerful warriors. Raistlin was a fairly experienced warrior. During his time with the Warriors of the Lance, he would be enter combat with soldiers, bandits and even a dragon.'''

Voter information.
Voting ends whenever I feel like ending in (Probably after Christmas). The battle will be in a coniferous forest in the land of greyhawk. They will meet each other completely by chance and will have no time for prep.
