The duel between us was heating up that much is for sure. His master of a different kind of black magic always kept the duel in a mystery. Never sure as to what he would do. He never once fought like a conventional black mage in my eyes. Normal black mages use the undead for their army and will sacrifice anything to gain the upper hand or power in general. This mage did neither of those. if he used some of his life it was to gain a small advantage but not a giant one like normal mages. His creatures came out fast and were pretty tough to do battle against . My red magic put up a fight managing to deal him some damage and taking care of his smaller creatures but when the big boys came out to play the game between us was coming to a swift end.
The smaller creatures like Gnat Miser,Black Knight and Bloodsoaked Champion were all dealt with at some point and time. A couple getting through my defense but nothing major. That is until the Bloodgift Demon reared his head. This monster of a demon was quickly followed by another demon. The Desecration Demon would make his presence known and with little to no creatures on my side, things were getting very dark. Facing down two demons is a tough one but tougher still when your foe can kill your creatures in the blink of an eye with spells like Geth's Verdict or Murder.
Herald of Torment became enchanted to the Desecration Demon before I knew it and that was enough to finish me off. This mage was truly ruthless and unnormal when using black magic. He broke the mold I would say for black mages. In his own class, I would say he felt more like an aggressive red mage with the power of a green mage using dark magic to tie it all together. I asked if I may see his spell tomb and just what he uses in battle . He smiled and shared it with me and now I share this list of spells with you.

As you can see, he is truly an aggressive mage and hits hard out the gate. As soon as any of his demons are ready to appear they do just that for their master. With them usually spells the end for anyone who faces him in battle. A more aggressive red mage might have done better against him than myself. Or maybe a very fast green mage could have ended the game. I would like to see how a blue-white control mage could do against him in battle. Would they have enough counterspells and control magic to keep his demons at bay or would they prevail?
