So wizard dueling as it's depicted in the books is more like modern fencing, non-fatal competitive point scoring, in the style of a one on one fight.


But presumably, wizards of the past would have used the killing curse, or another potentially fatal hex when dueling for honour.

I.e two wizards fight, slap each other gloves or similar and meet in Hyde Park at dawn to settle matters of honour, they get to cast 1 hex at the other from a distance of x paces at a given signal - The possibility, if not the intention, to kill is implied right?

If someone died in a pistol duel it was murder by the VE - so using a spell that could result in death would be part of it. Right?
