Default Dueling theory 1

The Dueling arena has been set aside for today's lesson, though it is more of a theory lesson than anything else. Professor Truebridge is standing in front of the seating area waiting for the students to enter and take a seat. He has his wand once again, which Professor Bunbury had been keeping safe for him while he was away and appeared far more relaxed and less on edge than he had been without it.

"This lesson is a double lesson. The first half will be theory based and the second, practical. There will be two homework assignments and you may choose which you wish to do, or do both." He began.

"So. to start with, what do you know about dueling? Anything you can think of but please do not go into too much detail, I would like for us to keep it simple to begin with."
Aaron did not know this man but he WAS quite surprised that Duskurk wasn't teaching the lesson. And even more surprised at the numbers of older students that DID know who the wizard was. Fascinated though he was, Aaron sat . . . relatively quietly (with the exception of a bouncing leg) as he waited for the lesson the begin.

Ah so this Professor Truebridge was a former teacher . . . History of Magic, but not one of Amelia's. Sniff. Aaron was convinced that Professor Vindictus was now the only one left from his sister's time.

"Dueling... is..." Aaron pondered, raising his hand. "some type of battle between two or more people."

Sidney smiles at the professor. He's not emitting bad vibes the way Professor Duskurk does. He's also friendlier, so that makes Sidney trust him enough for the moment. She still wants to know why he went to prison if he was innocent, but now is not the time for those questions. Sidney finds herself a seat, and places her wand on the desk. Why are professor's always right? Sidney can't take notes and keep her wand trained on him. "Dueling is generally more structured than fighting. Are there rules as to what hexes, jinxes, and curses you can use?" Sidney always wondered about that. She knows you generally learn certain spell to use in dueling, but she doesn't know if there are rules governing which ones can be used during a duel.

Oh never mind that was for another time..

He lowered his hand.
"Indeed. Which is why it is important you pay attention to your lessons and gain mastery over your magic. Tactics and strategy are important, but are limited by the skill of the dueler." Truebridge nodded once.

But then Professor Truebridge was starting class, and Raiden was still standing near the doorway. Face slightly red, he joined the rest of the students, tugging Lina along with him. And he finally smiled. For what really felt like the first time all term. At least one good thing had happened this year, between all the... fighting and potions accidents.

"Dueling, sir... is combat between two people. For us, it's with wands. For muggles, it's... well with a few other things."
"Genrally speaking, as long as the weapons are matched, it can be considered a duel." Truebridge elaborated with a nod. "Naturally wands are the weapon of choice for a witch or wizard."

Who knew criminals were SO entertaining??!!!? Neptune got up and moved to a seat closer. One of those seats where if she stretched her toes out she could maybe TOUCH him when he walked past. While she moved, Neptune raised her hand, "Did you duel in jail? Did you learn all sorts of shady moves? I hope so. I want to learn from you." You being the ex-convict.
This one was like a... less quiet version of Celandine Toussaint. Which was saying something. Must be a Ravenclaw thing. Brilliance had to be railroaded along the way with something. Curiousity was a danger to those Eagles.

"I had no wand while I was incarcerated." He informed her, his white knucked grip on Michelle, his wand, indicating that he had no intention of that happening again. He had no intention on elaborating any further on the matter.

"The technical aspects of a duel are very important, just like with all things, there are rules." Ethan agreed.

Either way, she joined in the class in answering the question, raising her hand. "I believe that dueling is the act of competition, usually between two people, which involves some sort of combat. This is usually done in response to a question of someone else's honor, or in another form of challenge from one person to the other. With wizards, common starting spells would be shielding spells and disarming spells."
He listened closely and nodded along with everything Lina was saying.

"Good. Honour is a very important aspect of dueling. As is the challenge."

"Dueling is indeed very old, many dueling laws are outdated and reflect medieval roots. Dueling was considered a means to stop vendettas or blood feuds from occuring as well as a method of enforcing government rule where necessary."

He conjured a black globular orb behind him, basically serving as a 3 dimensional blackboard. Notes began to appear within it.

"A duel is generally defined an engagement in combat between two individuals with matched weapons and may occur for several reasons."

Quote:
Reasons for Duels
- defense of honour
- to issue challenge
- to redress an insult
- trial by combat/ judicial duels/ Wager of battle
- to practice and develop skill
-to test prowess
"In the modern magical world, formal and judicial duels are rare but practice duels are a common method of developing skill with offensive and defensive magic. The object of a duel is to disarm, injure, outdo or kill the opponent, depending on the rules and limits decided upon before the confrontation begins." Truebridge explained, his words adding themselves to the orb behind him as he spoke.

"Any battles between witches and wizards may be considered a duel, regardless of how many participants there are. However, the greater the number of participants and factions, the less likely a Code Duello may be followed."

He paused to allow the students to take notes if they wished.

"Does anyone know what a Code Duello is?"

Mina sat back and listened to what her fellow classmates were saying. They had already said almost everything she could think of and she didn't want to sound like a broken record. She just jotted everything down as she heard it.

Glancing up from her note-taking, she looked to the professor. She really hadn't been happier to see a professor in her life. For some reason, seeing Professor Truebridge back set her at ease.

Tiberius absentmindedly rubbed the back of his head where he had hit it that first duelling lesson. Boy was he ever glad that this was a theory class. The floors in this place hurt.

Raising the hand that wasn't currently occupied, Tibi looked to Professor Truebridge. "A Code Duello is bascially an agreement about how the duel happens, and includes things like witnesses, medical care and other ground rules."

Jack raised his hand once again. "Those are the rules, right? Like the whole bowing to your opponent thing?" he suggested. That made sense, especially when he said that there was less chance of that being followed if there were more people. "They're there to basically prevent things from going completely insane during a battle, right?"

Oh how charming; he was RIGHT that a duel can occur between two or more people. Because there could be three or so people involved, he thought. "Aaron. Aaron Rose, is my name, Professor," he answered, leg still bouncing, as the Professor continued on about dueling.

Code duello? Was it like Code Blue? Because he was pretty sure that Amelia mentioned it once or twice in her healer training. "Rules. Or something." Aaron nodded, at least PRETENDING to be confident, even if he wasn't really.

"My name is Arya Lovegoods, Professor." She stated simply, smiling up at Truebridge. She definantly liked him much more than creepy Duskurk, secretly hoping he would be taking the man's position.

Pulling out some parchement and her quill, she took notes on everything the professor was saying. Swinging her feet she thought about what Code Duello could be. "Unwritten dueling rules?"She said with the shrug of her shoulders.

Truebridge caught Mina's eye and nodded at the young Ravenclaw, acknowledging her presence. She'd been one of his best students in History of Magic, it would be interesting to see if that was the case with this.

"Exactly right. A duel is often intended to defend ones honour and so the Code Duello provides a semblance of honour to the proceedings. At least that is part of the intention." zan agreed.

"Pleased to have you here, Arya. And indeed a Code Duello tends to be unwritten rules governing a duel."



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."

Brant thought long and hard before answering

"Erm Sir, One limit I can think of is nothing permanlty cursed off, lets say like an ear or something, and a Completion point can be like when one of the two wizard or witches passes out, or have some what of a safe word?" Brant didn't know if these were right, but he would love to have a safe word for something like this. maybe like "Banana" or something, that would be funny to see. but This was still serisous stuff so Brant didn't laugh or show that he was laughing at all.

Limit and Completion point. Raiden wrinkled his nose as he made notes. The most obvious ones were...

"A limit could be... not casting anything permanently debilitating." Which meant no blasting curses meant to take limbs off. "A completion point... the most obvious one is death in more extreme duels, isn't it?"

"One limitation I know of is there is no physical contact in a wizards duel", he thought this one was kind of obvious considering the use of wands.

Lina thought a little about it. "I would think a limit would be nothing that would cause permenant damage. A completion point... when one or the other wizard is incapable of dueling... like being knocked out or petrified."

Raising her hand Marie said, "Sir, a limit could be something like no memory altering spells allowed. A completion point could be unconsciousness." Yes, once someone was unconscious tey would no longer be able to duel.

Mina smiled as she caught the professor's nod. She really was a bit more at ease now. "One limit could be not using Unforgivables and a completion point could be when either wizard is unable to response. Like if they are hit with a petrificus totalus and are unable to response or move." she replied with a quick raise of her hand.

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."
"Pleased to be here professor." She said, glancing up from her notes. She continued to take notes while she swung her feet and thought about what would signal that a duel is over. "Um...if one of the duelers looses there weapon."

"Erm, O think a limit could be not being allowed to use non-verbal spells if facing a much younger less experienced opponent at at school and a competion point in this instance could be disarming you're oponent", Herrminny said with a slight crringe. She felt a little uneasy being aound Truebridge knowing what happened to him about the end of last time and his time in Azkaban. She was not sure what to think.

Sidney writes her notes down as quickly as possible. Things are really moving fast in this class. "My name is Sidney Marlowe sir." Professor Truebridge seems to know a lot about dueling. Sidney tries to think of a limit and a completion that has not already been said. "When teaching dueling there could be a limit to the number of spells used during the duel. That would encourage the participants to choose their spells more closely. There could also be a time limit on the duel. It concludes after a certain time. The winner being determined by points awarded by judges." Sidney hopes her answer is right. She knows nothing about dueling. Professor Duskurk didn't teach them very much. He just kind of let them loose.

Jack tapped his chin in thought for a few seconds before raising his hand. "Well, in a proper duel, would Unforgiveables be a limit? Obviously if you're dueling to the death against an opponent who is really lethal, that might not be an issue, but if you're doing a duel like--in the Ministry or at school you obviously would NOT be allowed to use an unforgiveable." he explained.

Although he wasn't sure when you'd be dueling in the Ministry...but whatever. He was sure Truebridge would get it.

"And a completion point would probably be when someone is disarmed. Like, when they lose their wand," he added.

Brant didn't know if these were right, but he would love to have a safe word for something like this. maybe like "Banana" or something, that would be funny to see. but This was still serisous stuff so Brant didn't laugh or show that he was laughing at all.
"Right. Good examples." Truebridge answered.

"Death indeed." Truebridge answered gravely.

"Ah, well that is indeed a rule that can be included in a Code Duello, but we are talking about limits which are imposed and agreed upon by the duelers before the duel commences. Physical contact is often excluded but is not always, depending on the nature of the duel. In fact duelers may decide not to include that as a limit and are quite within their rights to do so." Truebridge explained.

"Good, Lina." Truebridge liked when the students listened and thought about the questions. So far the class were all doing well.

"Precisely." Truebridge nodded once in agreement, frowning just slightly at those particular suggestions. Life imitating art and what not. He had his suspicions about what was going on.

"Good, Mina." Ethan answered, nodding in agreement.

"Very good answer Herminny." Truebridge nodded approvingly and moved on to the next student.

"Good. Very creative answer. Indeed you can limit the number of spells, either by limiting the duel to specific spells or by limiting the total number of casts allowed. Often this is the case in show dueling. A time limit is also a viable option." Zan nodded at the little first year.

"Yes, unforgiveables are, by law, always an imposed limit. Though in reality not everyone follows the law. Good."

Quote:
Completion points include;

- Disarming the opponent
- First blood
- Disabling the opponent
- To the death

Limits include;

- Physical contact between duellers
- No dark magic
- No unforgiveable curses
- Length of time a duel may run for
- Allowance for replacement wands
- Allowance for a second
- A specific spell list
- A specific number of casts
- Allowance for use of other weaponry
- Duel location
Truebridge added some more notes to the orb floating above and behind him where everyone could see to copy the notes.

"In medieval times duels were reserved for social equals. This stands in both Muggle and Wizarding societies; as recently as the eighteenth century a Muggleborn was not permitted to challenge a Pureblood. Complicated laws governed the right of Halfbloods issuing or accepting a challenge depended on how ‘pure’ or ‘diluted’ the Witch or Wizard’s blood was judged to be. Witches were not generally encouraged to duel, though the last remaining laws prohibiting the participation of a witch in a duel were abolished in 1802.

Perhaps the best documented incidents of duelling in Wizarding history are those duels which occurred around the Elder Wand. The Elder wand could only be possessed by someone who had disarmed its master, though this was often incorrectly interpreted to mean that the master of the wand must be killed for the wand to transfer its allegiance."

Truebridge paused, several of the students in this class had been in a lesson with him precisely on that subject, that is, the Elder Wand.

"Can anyone name a well-known duel? There are many involving the Elder Wand alone, but a myriad of others in your history books alone."

ooc: There are plenty of canon answers, but feel free to be a little creative if you like.

A well-known duel. Hmm. Raiden raised his hand tentatively.

"Professor... there was yours. With Professor Kazimeriz. I'm pretty sure that would fall under 'well-known', at least within the school."

While Raiden couldn't recall if he'd ever found out the reason for said duel, he certainly remembered it. One didn't forget things like that easily, especially since Miss Kayla had been squishing the life out of him at that time.

Oh, the Slytherin prefect is totally right, Cedric pondered, It's the duel which Professor Truebridge has accidentally crippled Prof Kazi.

He raised his hand attentively. How he missed their former HoM professor, he was really glad that Professor Truebridge was now back.

"Umm, the duel of the Dark Lord and Harry Potter.. It's a very well-known duel.. It's known all over the globe." he answered succinctly.

Having been super SUPER quiet for most of the class, staring down at the desk, Jake raised his hand but refused to make eye contact.

"D-d-dumbledddore and G-g-grindelwwwald," he said, simply and quietly.
