Introduction:
It's been a while since I've hosted a contest, and it's been a while since the last spell contest was hosted; so this contest marks both the return of my contests, and the return of spell contests. Remember that even if you don't think you have a chance of winning, I'll be reviewing every spell in a lot of detail, so you'll most certainly learn something in regards to coding!
The Theme:
Inspired by the members of this forum, the theme for this contest is Physical Abilities. Basically anything that doesn't involve common magic (fire, lightning, nature, etc) is allowed. Slashing spells, slams, punches, shields, bleeding, throwing weapons, and jumping are all fine. Use your imagination. Weapons are allowed if they require some sort of physical strength to use (such as swords, bows, etc).
How to Join:
