The tension was palpable as Lintían Wintermist stepped onto the stage for her performance of the evening. With her freshly inked facial markings, the crowd was curious as to what she had in store. With a wave of her hands, a transmutation rune appeared and particles of ink began to separate from her face, forming a spinning globe of ink. The audience gasped in amazement as Lintían completed her spell, leaving everyone in awe of her magical prowess. Despite some snickering from the judges, the crowd gave her a thunderous round of applause, leaving no doubt that Lintían had left a lasting impression on everyone in attendance.
The final contestant of the night, Auxelie Meyer, received an enthusiastic welcome from the audience and judges. Auxelie Meyer stood out with her impressive display of Cryomancy and Illusion spells. With her eyes turning from amethyst to blue and the air getting colder, she conjured thin, elegant lines of ice that extended towards her target. Suddenly, she transformed into a horrific human-spider hybrid and let out a high-pitched screech as the tendrils coiled tightly around the target. The tendrils were covered with little icy spikes that pierced through the target's flesh like a barbed wire, as her deadly frost web kept on being woven and ensured its lethal grasp around its 'victim.' The audience was stunned as they watched her performance, and many were left wondering how she managed to create such a vivid display of her skills.
Winners
After a tense round of performances, the show's hosts and judges announced the winners. They noted that the scoring was incredibly close, with many contestants separated by just a single point. The judges panel applauded all the contestants for their exceptional performances and creativity.
In third place, with an in-depth and detailed spellcasting performance, was Ilummia Manashriek's tour of the deep seas. For second place, there was a tie between Miss Auxélie Meyer, who combined two underestimated disciplines into a deadly and aesthetically striking bout of spellwork, and Mister Featherbrush, who artfully guided the treacherous sands of time.
But it was the unorthodox application of magic by Mister Masarù that left the judges unanimously in agreement for first place. Their innovative and creative approach to magic left a lasting impression on the judges and the audience, who were reminded of what magic could and should be for.
The evening was thoroughly enjoyable and fabulous, and the contestants should be proud of their exceptional performances. The hosts thanked everyone for their participation and congratulated the first, second, and third place winners. It was a night to remember, filled with magic and wonder.
