Thayvian Stickfighting
(Red Wizard Wand Fighting)__________________________________________________ _______________________ 5 points

Descended from Mulhorandi stickfighting techniques, the self-defence style of the Red Wizards emphasises defensive stances and circular movement. The stylist uses either a short, stiff wand or a longer wizard's staff; often enchanted with the Staff spell. Often, two sticks are used, one of them for parrying and the other for offence.

A Defensive Grip is the standard stance and most attacks are Defensive Attacks. The aim is to retreat from the opponent to be able to cast a spell or to injure him or sweep off the feet to gain more time. Most grapples are done with the weapons and usually only long enough to inflict damage, not until submission.

Missile spells or touch spells useful in combat are delivered with the wands with Staff spell, often as part of a rhythm of attack and defence with the weapons.
