If you care to read \"ab rituals portal\" it actually states that portals do not open for protected people. Similarly other rituals such as a projected girdling also do not work.

These are pretty basic ritual rules learned by novices early in their mage profession.

Whilst I admire your attempts to improve your mage vs mage skills by your obssessional jumping and constant issuing of challenges to me I remind you I have a city to run these days and rarely fight so you will not gain the improvement you seek through me.

However the Mage Guild does have a strong group of fighting mages and I'm sure both Fistandantilus and Qrick would gladly aide you in the mage vs mage experience you so clearly seek. Indeed walk your streets whilst they are on and they might even oblige you by giving you the opportunity to raise your game and fight off an attack without your rits.

You clearly recognise the need of a professional mage fighter to continuously improve - now you need to choose your targets and fights to demonstrate that improvement.

If you care to build a reputation as a fighter in the mage profession you will need to fight, well, professional fighters and despite my high skills fighting is of secondary importance to me at this time.

Of course you might just be a common thug and bully - but I like to think those in my shared profession have greater aims.
