The third round was a magic demonstration contest. Here the chosen participants would cast magic spells and a panel of 5 judges would rate them and give them a score between 1 to 100.
But this round was actually not so straight forward. There would not only be a single round of spell demonstration but actually three rounds of them. For each round, the mages who ranked in the last 100 would be eliminated and at the end of the third round, the tournament would be left with only 60 remaining talented mages.
So only being good at casting a single type of spell was not going to be enough to clear this round. Everyone needed to have at least three decent spells ready to clear this stage. But that was not all. There was another restriction on the participants. They were not allowed to use generic spells and the spell they would demonstrate should have something unique that belonged to them and only them.
