The orb filled with notes as he spoke more on the subject.

"A Code Duello is a set of rules for a one-on-one combat, or duel. Codes Duello regulate duelling laws and limits and help prevent duels from escalating into vendettas or feuds. Codes Duello often provide assurance that a healer may be on hand at the completion of a duel and allow for the participants to stipulate limits where they are needed. Witnesses are usually called for in a Code Duello in order to so that testimony may be provided if authorities become involved and to be sure the duel was executed fairly and in accordance with the agreed upon limits. The number of paces the opponents take from one another is governed by the Code Duello. As a rule the graver the insult, the fewer the paces agreed upon. The Code Duello also regulates the point a duel may be considered completed." He looked around the class to be sure they were paying attention.

"Can I have each of you suggest a limit and a completion point? A limit is something which the combatants decide is or is not allowed and a completion point is the criteria which governs when a duel is over. Just one of each."
