Certamen (Care-TAH-men, Latin for "duel") is the ceremony by which two magi conduct a magical duel. It serves as a non-lethal way for one magus to establish dominance and precedence over another with formal restrictions to keep it from disrupting the unity of the Order. Certamen can be used to settle almost any dispute, and the result of the duel is binding. Certamen can never be used to over-rule the will of a Tribunal or require a magus to overlook the Code of Hermes. Among famous duelists, Agrippina (nicknamed Nemesis) is especially noteworthy.

  • Certamen (Care-TAH-men, Latin for "duel") is the ceremony by which two magi conduct a magical duel. It serves as a non-lethal way for one magus to establish dominance and precedence over another with formal restrictions to keep it from disrupting the unity of the Order. Certamen can be used to settle almost any dispute, and the result of the duel is binding. Certamen can never be used to over-rule the will of a Tribunal or require a magus to overlook the Code of Hermes. There are primarily two reasons for Certamen: to settle disputes in a quicker and more clear way than through conversation and to resolve disagreements or even antagonism in a more peaceful and less lethal way than a Wizard War. The other reason, especially popular among Tremere magi, is to duel just for the love of it. Certamen is for Hermetic Magi much like duels for knights and aristocrats but with significantly reduced lethality. Among famous duelists, Agrippina (nicknamed Nemesis) is especially noteworthy.
