| Wizard displays initially helped avoid violence |
Two wizards perform a ritual display of prowess deep beneath the Appalachian Mountains. Magic displays were a harmless way to gauge the power of rival wizards. Over time, wizards began investing more energy in posturing than productivity, holding matches in vast subterranean arenas for dominion over entire kingdoms.
However, with the ranks of wizards rife with egotism, sore losers made it inevitable that high level duels would eventually turn lethal. In the battle between Icaran and Wulfstana, the defeated Icaran brought the roof of the entire arena down, burying 50,000 spectators.
He was banned from future matches by the Council of Thaum.
