Introduction:
Continuing on with the series of spell contests, Andrew and I have thought up another unique spell-contest theme. I'm pretty certain that this type hasn't been hosted before; so this contest, like the previous one, is an experimental one. Hopefully it ends up being as successful as the previous one!
The Theme:
So, the unique theme for this contest is icons. You must make a spell that would fit with one of the following icons. I've given you a choice of 4, and all the icons are pretty generic. So there's a lot of room for imagination!
The Icons:
Thanks to CRAZY_RUSSIAN for the first 3 icons
Try to think outside the box, make the spell original. Though be sure to keep to the icons. For example, you'd probably initially think that the second icon is a magician firing a lightning bolt. However, you could move away from the norm, and assume that he's actually blocking a magic attack with his hand. Thus allowing you to make a spell shield or something. All the icons were selected to allow improvisation like this.
