Dueling System

Students cast their charm and dice is rolled to see if the student can successfully cast their charm. The chance a student has to correctly cast their charm depends on the difficulty level of the spell and the student's year. The following chart lists the chances for each spell.

Student's Year	1	2	3	4	5	6	7
Level A Spells	12.5%	37.5%	62.5%	75%	87.5%	100%	100%
Level B Spells	0%	12.5%	37.5%	50%	62.5%	87.5%	100%
Level C Spells	0%	0%	12.5%	25%	37.5%	62.5%	87.5%
Level D Spells	0%	0%	0%	12.5%	25%	50%	75%

If the offensive student successfully casts their charm then the defensive student will cast a defensive charm. The chance a student has to correctly cast their defensive charm depends on the experience of the student. The following chart lists the chances for each year.

Student Year	Charm %
1st years	12.5%
2nd years	25%
3rd years	37.5%
4th years	50%
5th years	62.5%
6th years	75%
7th years	87.5%

At this time, points are calculated. If the defensive student is unable to cast their defensive charm, then they suffer the full effect of the spell.

Hit by a Level A charm	1 point
Hit by a Level B charm	2 point
Hit by a Level C charm	3 point
Hit by a Level D charm	4 point

If the student Successfully cast their defensive charm, the following modifications are made to the point totals. (note: student must use the correct defensive charm! Using a charm to make your clothes water resistant will do NOTHING to help if your opponent is trying to set your clothes on fire!)

Vs. Student -3 or more years	Suffer No points
Vs. Student -2 years	Suffer 25% points
Vs. Student -1 year	Suffer 50% points
Vs. Student in the same year	Suffer 50% points
Vs. Student +1 year	Suffer 50% points
Vs. Student +2 year	Suffer 75% points
Vs. Student +3 or more year	Suffer 100% points

The duel shall end after each student has attempted 3 offensive charms. The student who inflicts the most points upon the other is the winner of the duel. If student point totals are tied, then each student shall cast another charm and the duel will continue until one student wins.
