The area for the magic duels have an Aerial Servant manning the station. There are two five feet radius circles about fifteen feet apart. Every contestant is given a magic ring of shielding. The ring will absorb all magical attacks, but breaks after a certain amount of damage. Any spells are allowed.

Balneiros approached the circle he will be dueling in, waiting to see whoever his opponent will be.

The aerial servant moved to Baleiros and presented him a ring of blue steel. When Bal places the ring on his finger and a blue tingling shield coverd his entire body. The servant gently guides the sorcerer to a the blue wooden platform."

Balneiros steps onto the provided platform, peering at the ring of steel on his finger as he awaits his challenger. He would need to question the Mayor on the necessary spells afterwards, assuming it worked as intended.

Mr. Cipher arrived at the magical dueling circle, knowing a win here would be good for business.

The servant drifted to halfway between the two combatants and roared, "GO!" Several of the village residents started clapping and yelling out for a favorite. The crowd was split between the two charismatic magic users.
Louis rolled a 5 + 2 Dex modifier + 5 for Alert feat for a 12 initiative. Balneiros rolled a 11 + 1 Dex Modifier for a 12 initiative.
In the case of a tie, I give the advantage to the person with the higher Dexterity Score
Louis has the initiative

Louis opened an old ledger, one of his parents old books, filled with their almost illegible scribblings, and began reading incantations from it. While a warlock might not need a spellbook, a warlock pretending to be a wizard certainly did. This particular tome was actually a cookbook and he was currently spouting gibberish from a page on olive oil roasted rabbit with thyme, but it sounded convincing enough. In reality, he reached into the dark consciousness that lurked in his mind, reaching into the aberrant power in the void between the stars, where the Dark Hunger waited.

Louis opened himself to the oblivion and felt himself filled, or more aptly emptied with a oily dark presence. He felt covered in a black ichor the he could feel covering every inch of himself but he knew was not visible to the naked eye. In that empty nowhere he found that same power that was always here waiting. Cypher focused that power into this realm. Louis spoke words that few living creatures on this plane of existence would understand, and crushed the petrified eye of a newt between the two fingers of his left hand as his right hand cut through the air hurling a hex at Balneiros.
Louis felt the hex settle down into the soul of the elf, and then spoke another word from an language older then the word. His fingers looped forward and a bolt of inky black nothing arced from his hand toward Louis' opponent.
Louis rolled a 14 + 3 Charisma Modifier and + 2 proficiency modifier = 19 Balneiros has an AC: 11. Louis hits Balneiros for 4 force damage and 2 necrotic damage. Balneiros' magical shield absorbs the 6 damage.
The cool black energy arc over and for a moment the two men are connected by a line of inky energy. Balneiros felt the force of the blast, and is shoke as his body quakes from the dark energy of the hex. The hex seemed to be pulling his very life from his body.
Balneiros felt these attempts to harm him, but the Mayor's shield rings seem to absorb all the damage, and keep the elf on his feet. The elf shakes his head clear and prepares his own counter attack.

Balneiros is speaking as soon as Louis' attacks have landed, calling out in his mind to the blessing he had received earlier from the Seductress, pulling on his connection to the raw mana around him. He attempts to channel his power into a single spell, directing it at Louis.
[Balneiros casts Burning Hands.]

Balneiros moved up to the edge of the wooden platform he stood upon. He raised his hands so his thumbs touched and his fingers were spread why. He barked several words in Draconinc, the language of magic and he focused his will on his hands. Flames arced out and Louis was just barely in range. The arcane fire twinkled purple and orange as it came down at the Warlock.
Louis attempts to make a dexterity saving throw against Balneiros' Spell DC of 12. Louis rolls 4 + 3 Dexterity Modifier = 7. Louis fails the save and takes 11 fire damage. The shielding ring absorbs all of the damage Check for wild magic roll of 9. No Wild Magic surge
Louis sees the fire coming and tries to jump out of the way, but does not make it clear. The fire ripples over his body and he can feel the lick of heat against his skin. The shield's shimmer protects him and absorbs the energy into it.
Louis still stands and it his turn.

Louis had always found a certain beauty in flames and took a moment to admire the inferno as it crashed against the shield, feeling the heat wash over him. He fired off another bolt of dark energy, counting on the hex to amplify the damage.
(Damn my lack of spell slots. Another Eldritch Blast. Hit him again Smith!)

Louis slipped another newt eye into his palm and crushed it again. He always found his magic easier the second time he called it, like the connection between him and his patron was still open, and he opened himself to the dark power. The slimy power oozed into his body, and filled him with nothingness. He waited until the dull ache almost overwhelmed him before throwing it an arc right toward Balneiros.
Louis rolled a 18 + 3 Charisma Modifier and + 2 proficiency modifier = 23 Balneiros has an AC: 11. Louis hits Balneiros for 7 force damage and 5 necrotic damage. Balneiros' magical shield absorbs the 9 damage. Balneiros takes the remaining 3 damage
Once again the blast of inky force strikes at the Elven sorcerer. The shield shimmers and shatters like glass. The ring on his hand cracks and falls to the ground. Balneiros feels a small part of his life force be sucked out of him. He stumbles back in pain, but still up on his feet.
The moment the ring cracked the Aerial Servant moved between the two combatants. From nowhere in particular on his body that is made of only hard air, a loud voice cries "Victory for the Red opponent." The several spectators clap their hands for the two combatants.

Louis bowed to the crowd, enjoying the applause.
"You alright over there, Balneiros?" he inquired.

Balneiros laughs as he turns to the crowd, bowing once before turning and bowing to Louis. "Largely untouched. You struck first and well, and the duel is yours."
