After the announcement of the final round, the female grand magus gracefully stepped aside, making way for the master of the house, Duke Damian Alabaster, to assume center stage. The duke, an elderly man with long, flowing white hair, exuded an aura that might seem harmless to normal observers. Even to the magus, there seemed to be no spirit energy emitted from the man. Despite this absence of visible energy, his gaze held an uncanny power, and the words he spoke carried a weight that could easily disrupt the core of any magus.
"Come forward," he said, and all six participants approached.
The Duke produced six bronze spheres, each adorned with intricate rune patterns on its unique 16 sides. A smile played on his lips as he said, "I made this puzzle sphere myself, If you can solve 10 of its 16 problems, you deserve to be called a spirit master."
