Dueling in HOL

[Roswitha Richmond]

Now that I have a wand, I began to wonder what the 'POTIONS' and 'SPELLS' are. I mean, I do know what they are but how exactly do I learn them or obtain them? And can someone briefly outline to me what dueling in HOL is like? Cause IT'S SO AWESOME AND I CAN'T WAIT FOR TERM TO START!!

Sorry for the sudden outburst.

Dueling club is something brand new to HOL. It has not actually been officially opened.
As taken from the HOL Blog:

I am pretty sure I can sense the question that is forming in your head... what do we need potions for in HOL? Right... let me tell you just that much for now: drinking a strengthening solution comes in handy before engaging in a wizard duel. You could even throw a Confusing Concoction at your opponent.

That's right - HOL will get a Dueling Club. This should be great fun if it works out as planned (and dueling will not even cost beans). But for a wizard duel we do first need the most important tool - a wand. I am currently working on the Wand Shop which should be open next week. There are currently 8064 possible combinations of wood, core and length so it's quite unlikely that two of you will get the same wand. Each combination has different effects, for example Ash is associated with magic and healing while Mahogany will increase your strength. The wand chooses the wizard and the first wand will be free for all active members from the Wand Shop.

The whole dueling system is very complex and it will take a while until it is finished. We need spells, charms and hexes first unless you planned on sticking your wand up your opponent's nose. It will also need thorough beta testing so don't expect the dueling club to open anytime soon after you got your wands. I just want to let you know where this is all heading to.

So basically, you are going to have to wait for your answers with the rest of us!

When will duelling club be ready? Because I think it is a really cool idea and I can't wait for it to start!

No one except the few really secretive admins know for sure! It'll be ready when it is... many of us have been waiting a while but I'm sure it'll probably open up when you least expect it.

Please try to read the previous replies before posting so people don't keep asking questions that have already been answered. ^__^
