I apologize for not mentioning this MUCH sooner, but I am sad to admit that I am forefeiting this practice duel.

I do believe I have a hang of the system, but the demands on my muggle life have been overwhelming... overhwleming to the point where I'm not keeping all my appointments, paperwork and bills paid and mailed, etc.

Plus 24 vs 6... the stats are pretty grim. So I set down my wand.

However (as stated somewhere in the extended rules) since this was declared as a PRACTICE match at the beginning it effects neither of our base dueling points.

It was fun, and should I actually get sufficiently caught up on things I may wish for a rematch or try duelling another member.

Thank you for the learning experience, and once again I apologize for flying out of the magickal realm on you in the middle of a match.
