Project 1999 - Wizard Duel - a story in screenshots

This screenshot story is dedicated to my new friend Jibartik, and also to my hero Salem.

I was in Field of Bone recruiting for <Castle> when...a challenger appeared! A level 60 wizard named Proagrious was powerleveling his Iksar proteges and he boldly threw down the gauntlet. He took a little damage from an Iksar footpad, but he was confident in the awesome power at his fingertips.

I am a level 54 wizard about to face off against a level 60 wizard. But I was willing to bet he wasn't from Red. How was his resist gear? How many clickies had he collected? How were his buff stacking skills? I was willing to bet my life and honor for a chance to prove Seaglass's power.

First, I dispelled him 3 times. Then I started alternating Draught of Fire with Shock of Lightning.

Meanwhile, the resist gear I wear because I hope to endure AEs on a raid someday (and also due to a year and a half of Red paranoia) protected me from his deadly magicks. He began to flee and I felt a pang of fear that he would outrange my final spell.

Luckily, he was caught in a torrent of fire. The battle was won. The undergnome had emerged as the victor.

Proagrious wisely logged off immediately to preserve his 6-minute rez timer.

Proagrious, I'm so sorry to cause you the hassle of porting to EJ and running back naked!! And now I'm sorry for posting this! But it's too much fun!
