Magic talentshow

finland

A multiversal magical talentshow is forthcoming between various magical beings from across fiction. The talentshow is all about who is most talented in the ways of magic (Not necessarily strongest) and is an elimination tournament. From the first round, half are eliminated. From the second, half again. Same from the third, and in the end there's only one winner.

Note: This is all about being most talented. Not having the strongest spell.

Participants:
- Korialstrasz (Warcraft)
- Kain (Legacy of Kain)
- Ganondorf (Zelda)
- Sephiroth (Final Fantasy)
- Kratos (God of War)
- Demetri (DarkStalkers)

In the first round, the three least talented get eliminated.
In the second round, one gets eliminated.
In the third and final round we end up with a winner.

If you want to, you can also rank them 1-6 on who is most and least talented. This is also a show about using the magic in a talented manner. Versatility

If you want, you can bring up unmentioned magical names for a possible second talentshow, or something similar to it 😉 I'm unfortunately not too educated in all the videogame characters out there that know magic.

😊

Don't know enough about half of those to give an accurate estimation of how it would go, but here goes:

Round 0:
- Korialstrasz (Warcraft)
- Kain (Legacy of Kain)
- Ganondorf (Zelda)
- Sephiroth (Final Fantasy)
- Kratos (God of War)
- Demetri (DarkStalkers)

Round 1:
- Korialstrasz (Warcraft)
- Ganondorf (Zelda)
- Demetri (DarkStalkers)

Round 2:
- Korialstrasz (Warcraft)
- Demetri (DarkStalkers)

Round 3:
- Korialstrasz (Warcraft)

By ranking:

1. Korialstrasz
2. Demitri
3. Ganondorf
4. Kain
5. Sephiroth
6. Kratos

I know I'm probably not close to being right, so don't shoot me 😛 I do think that the judges would find Korialstrasz simply stunning in matter of talent 😉

Edit: For a next thread, I don't think there's any crime in taking several from the same world. There are plenty of magical beings in DarkStalkers, Zelda, LoK and Warcraft 🙂

If it turns out people actually post in this thread, a higher quantity of participants could come for the next attempt 😊

I'm afraid forum rules wants at most 6 participants or something like that though, so I guess it can't really get very big anyway.

By rank

1. Korialstrasz
2. Kain

The rest can be ignored

Why ignored?

Well they either have little talent or no where near the first two, I think you should add diffrent characters for magic talent, such as the Fable hero, better FF characters that are more magic inclined like Kefka.

Apart from Ganon who is ok but Kratos, Sephiroth etc are of such low talent they would be far below the others.

I'll take it in consideration for next time, if GK deem this thread not breaking any rules.

Kratos looks like he's gonna lose the contest pretty bad.

Right, so, despite the fact that technically this falls outside of the rules, we're going to allow it.

I'll refrain from creating anything like it in the future then 🙂

Imho;
- Korialstrasz (Warcraft)
- Kain (Legacy of Kain)
- Ganondorf (Zelda)
- Sephiroth (Final Fantasy)
- Kratos (God of War)
- Demetri (DarkStalkers)

Then;

-Demitri
-Ganon
-Korialstrasz [I had to wiki this one, lol.]

Finals;

-Ganon
-Korialstrasz

And I pick Ganon for the win, for the sheer variety, utility, and impressiveness of his magical arsenal. Long before he ever got the triforce Ganondorf was already a very powerful magic user, and throughout the Zelda series he's displayed;
-Summoning on a granda scale
-Omnipresence
-Incredible TK. [Permanently levitating an entire castle without concentration?]
-Power over dimensions, and the ability to combine, manipulate, and open and close them.
-Power over souls.
-Teleportation at will. [Extradimensional included, sir.]
-Discorporation.
-Possession.
-Creation of life.
-Restoration of life. [Volvagia was dead, Ganon fixed that.]
-Creating something from nothing.
-Energy manipulation.
-Transformation. [Bats, monsters, boars.]
-Energy/magic production/creation/manipulation to a ridiculous degree, creating magical barriers from nothing at will, magical and energy based attacks.
-Weather control.
-Death curses. [Before he even got the triforce.]
-Triforce of power; essentially magnified everything about him.

This is all off the top of my head, I'm sure there's a pile of things I just haven't thought of, cause I'm at skool. HOWEVER; I'm relatively certainas far as sheer talent goes, Ganon has this in the bag.

Kain has most of that and more and can enhance it all up to infnite levels, but were not talking about power, more talent and in that regard i would put Ganon at 3rd since you cannot class all of those powers as magical either.

You left out more and better magicians. It's always the predictable characters.

I'm a little rusty with Korialstrasz (Krasus is what I will call him now) because it's been quite some time since I came across the game and books where Krasus is brought up. Out of the blue, this is what I can think of without thinking:

- Master illusionist [Was able to create eight replicas of himself]
- Master conjurer [Able to create inanimate objects and food]
- TK [Level unknown]
- Power over realms [Not in terms of control, but can enter and observe different realms]
- Teleportation [Has translocated himself to seperate realms, and across regions of Azeroth]
- Creation of life [Not only is he one of the Red, but he created Anveena]
- Magic manipulation [Able to not only summon magic of his own, but counter and take control of projectiles and various spells]
- Shapeshifting [Krasus can turn into any humanoid form he desire, but also his original shape (Dragon)]

This is just a draft, same as with yours. Although Krasus strength lies more in his Arcane might than in the different types of magic. Unfortunately he's the type of guy who uses pawns rather than get his own hands dirty. So we don't have very much about him. Mostly quotes, except for what I listed above, which are things we know for a fact he can do.

Sora would win in style. He actually makes his magic using look cool (read: ghey).
