@Draken I mean, you never know. Could've been like the Hunger Games. Different arena every time.
Well I mean, that implies that there's official procedures and neutral parties involved... Then again, I could see duels being common enough for the Seminary to have rules about them, and accommodations, so probably.
@shylarah As far as Rodion and his workshop goes-- each inquisitor is highly individualistic in terms of their ether ability. It's not like there's a 'metalworking class' in the seminary. In fact, I think Rodion is one of the few inquisitors who can do what he does. He showed talent with machines so a curriculum was created specifically for him, just as one was created for Tatiana and her summoning, Astraea and her healing abilities, Ziotea and her ether manipulation, ect.
Did each student get a room for them, then? I imagine more "basic" magics would have near identical rooms, but I love the idea of there being a sort of water/zen room for Ilya, with the capacity for dozens of flying targets and hazards to whiz out of nowhere at a moment's notice.
Incidentally, if each Warband is meant to be a highly cohesive unit, should we talk a bit about how combat goes? I think of Father Ilya as a mostly stationary, center figure. A sort of offensive support, taking shots and things trying to threaten the group and landing blows when allies manage to break a foe's guard for a second. He'd use his water abilities sparingly, as an emergency shield and distraction to prevent blows from landing him or his warsiblings. Heck, I could see the whole group having what basically amounts to a fanny pack of water on their back for him to utilize.
That said, the weight placed upon whole warbands makes it even more interesting that a select few members of Leviathan have been chosen to join the invasion of El.
