Your latest blow has defeated the Eldritch Skeleton! It collapses into the pile of bones it really should have always been. And I am in //awe// of your incredible combat abilities! The Spell Arena explodes with cheering! The Arena Master reluctantly says that the day's fights have drawn to a close, but heralds you as the new champion. "We'll see if our new star can survive . . . tomorrow." But that is another day—and for now you can rest, having soundly mastered three spellbooks and defeated your opponents with each one.
