Yeah I broke that mirror, so what? ll NOT backward ll Official Gryfferin ll Lemon's favourite

So, here's a question from Anonymous that I thought would be helpful and less confusing about the ending of duels. It might not be something to worry about now but it's something to remember if someone is awarded a winner of the duel when the points aren't down to 0 yet.

Quote:
"I'm under the impression that a duel is won by whomever has the most points LEFT at the end of the duel, is that correct?"

Okay so I should clarify: if A and B are dueling and B loses all their Health OR Magic points, they lose. Instantly. Because you need Health to have the energy to cast a spell and you need your Magic to cast a spell in the first place. So losing either one means you're done.

Now. You know how the duels have time limits? Say, for example, I'll give you a week to finish a duel. If, in that time, NO ONE has reached the 0 mark with their Health and Magic points, the person with the least points will lose. (This will be based on a percentage scheme so, whoever retains the most percentage of points at the end of the time limit, they will win.)

In the second case, if B is the last person to post in the time limit, their defensive technique will be taken into account but their offensive technique won't be because A can't post responding to it and B can't make up the outcome of their own spell. SO. If B moved to avoid the spell but also cast a Rictusempra spell, the dodge will be taken into account but the Rictusempra won't.
