Magic Battle

This tournament pits the 11 best players from each academy against each other. Only one becomes a Divine Visionary.
Phase 1: Trial of Mana - Extraction Test
Objective: Prove you can steal mana from the environment under pressure. If you run out of mana, you lose.
Rules: 11 students in an arena that changes biome every 5 minutes: desert, tundra, volcano, void. You must keep spells active while drawing mana from the environment.
How it is eliminated: The 3 with the lowest mana pool at the end of 20 minutes are eliminated.
Eight students pass by.
Phase 2: Trial of Secondth - Weapon Duel
Objective: Your Second vs. theirs. No Thirds. Pure technique.
Rules: Random 1v1 matches. Neutral arena. Winner is the one who breaks the opponent's Secondth or leaves them without mana. No killing allowed.
How they are eliminated: 4 duels, 4 eliminated.
Phase 3: Trial of God - Divine Domain
Objective: Now, Thirds are allowed. Dominate the field with the power of a god.
Rules: 2v2 in teams. The field is divided in half. Each team has to "baptize" the opposing team's territory with their Thirds for a full minute.
How it is eliminated: The losing team is eliminated.
Phase 4: Trial of the Visionary - Final Battle
Objective: Until one of you is unconscious. No rules. No surrender. The winner gets one wish from the magical government.
Rules: Eden Coliseum Arena. No time limits. Seconds, thirds, strikes, and cheating are allowed. It only ends when one player is unable to get up.
Why these 4 phases work Mashle-style:

1. Mana: I force you to show base control.
2. Second: Pure skill with your weapon.
3. Thirds: Divine spectacle and teamwork.
4. Unconscious: Will vs. power. The most broken one doesn't always win if the other can endure more punishment.

Mashle rules that were used:

• Magic lines: Marks on the face = power. 1 line = average, 3 lines = elite.
• Second: Second form of the magic weapon. Release of power.
• Thirds: Divine form. They summon part of a god's power.
• Mana: It is extracted from the environment. If it runs out, you faint.
• Magic Wands: These are catalysts that serve to improve the abilities of all their bearers, although there are certain types of wands that are unique throughout the world.
