This was certain a motlier crew than the matrons competition that morning, Fitzroy thought has he moved to make his welcome. The reason, he thought, was quite obvious: unlike the matrons, the misses were all in want of a husband. For some, showing off magical skill would be something of a mating dance. For others, entering the competition was their only ticket to enter the ball the next evening due to thier low social standing—to use whatever other graces they might possess to attract a husband.

"A warm welcome to our judges, our audience, and, of course, some of the loveliest young ladies I've ever been fortunate enough to encounter," the wizard began brightly, fliriting coming rather as naturally to him as breathing. "The aim of this afternoon is to afford you an opportunity to showcase your magical skill. While I have little doubt that many of you are quite accomplished in the areas of charms, transfiguration, illusion, and conjuration, only one of you can be best a rose among not thorns, but certainly the more common daisies."

Metaphor was not exactly his gift, but Fitz felt rather proud of that one.

"Your first cast will be a charm of your choosing. Best of luck, ladies!"

With that, Fitz stepped aside, leaving the competitors (and a series of small props for their use) to their business.

Your character has 72 hours to post their charm casting, after which the round will be scored. If everyone posts, the lowest-scoring six will be eleminated.
