All three spells had Fitz's attention. For a moment, the wizard wondered if he oughtn't mention the young ladies before him to Felix and Freddie as, at least where decorum and magical ability were concerned, they were all exemplary here today.

Miss Adebayo had the 'worst' of it, her illusion impressive, but not quite as flawless as her earlier efforts. Even so, the wizard did not envy the judges their choices. Miss Farris' charm, while better executed, struck him as the least grand of the round. It was Miss Lycoris Dempsey who had excelled in both execution and impact, a fact for which the judges lauded her.

"While congratulations ought to be afforded to all three of our young ladies," Fitz declared (though young might have leaned in the direction of generosity where Miss Dempsey was concerned), "and each of you have excelled in your own moments, it is Miss Dempsey who the judges have decided performed most admirably in this final round—and so she who shall take the competition!"

A pause for the obligatory applause followed, after which the wizard saw to any remaining housekeeping for the event.

Well done! Lycoris Dempsey can take home the shiny new stamp—will PM the coding.
