The battle takes place in a combination of physical combat and magical attacks, creating a visually stunning spectacle for spectators.
Late afternoon, amid another lull, I walked from Ismail’s in search of dinner: green oranges, boiled peanuts, stale cassava chips. At one vendor, because I was white, a belligerent first demanded my bills, then the coins I received as change. The vendor hissed and shooed him away. It was a busy lane, full of otherwise nice folks at their fruit stands and trays of flyblown fish.

Wind shook the garden. A lull in rain. Briefly, we sweat beneath equatorial sun.
Mkubwa showed me more plants that could treat cholera, diabetes, hypertension, asthma, insect bites, constipation, diarrhea, flatulence, insomnia, heart disease, nausea, blindness, toenail fungus, arthritis, erectile dysfunction, sore throat, warts, vomiting.
“Anything for hangovers?” I asked.
Mkubwa’s young brother hacked some sugar cane and handed it to me. I chewed a while.
“Here in our village,” Mkubwa said, “we have special doctor. If you use special doctor, you have to believe in him—to believe he can fix you. You have to get some magic from your religion. It is in the mind.”
With a wet, sugar-sticked finger, he tapped the left side of his bald head.
“Your brother is a doctor?” I asked.
Mkubwa laughed. His “special doctor” was an old man—a shaman. Pemba was known for such sorcerers and subjective wizardry embraced by most Tanzanians. Pemba’s witch doctors—waganga in Swahili—had visitors from across Africa and even Haiti, internationally known for its voodoo. Waganga could dose good luck, kill curses, cast spells, cure illness. Ultimately, witchcraft proved iffy as many Pembans, still sick, had tried waganga first crutch.
Sucking on sugar, I looked up. Northbound rain smeared the sky.
A shy man named Shoaib motorbiked me back to Wete. It was Friday—worshippers prowled the streets. Men would gather for a congregational prayer called ṣalāt al-jumu’ah (Friday prayer), supplanting the usual ṣalāt aẓ-ẓuhr (noon prayer).
Back at Ismail’s guesthouse, where the power was out, Shoaib asked me if I wanted to “drink many beers” with him at Wete’s police station.
“Police bar.” He grinned.
Though I shouldn’t have, I declined, citing the premise of getting illegally drunk with African cops, followed by a dangerous ride home in rainy darkness, plus my wish to wake early and fresh the next day for my return to Seattle via Dar es Salaam.
Late afternoon, amid another lull, I walked from Ismail’s in search of dinner: green oranges, boiled peanuts, stale cassava chips. At one vendor, because I was white, a belligerent first demanded my bills, then the coins I received as change. The vendor hissed and shooed him away. It was a busy lane, full of otherwise nice folks at their fruit stands and trays of flyblown fish.
Alone on Ismail’s dim rooftop patio, I ate slowly. Through a gap in the mango trees, I watched fishermen tend dhows in dense, sheeting rain. It was 5:15 p.m. Behind me, from the echoey stairwell, Ismail made a cameo. He was headed to his mosque for ṣalāt al-maġrib (sunset prayer).
“Be here at 6:45,” he said. “They will be ready!”
This training period is crucial, as it enables participants to discover their strengths and weaknesses, devise strategies, and perfect their spellcasting techniques. When the battle royale begins, contestants must navigate the arena carefully, cautiously observing their surroundings. The environment often consists of a diverse array of terrain, including forests, mountains, and bodies of water, which can influence the outcome of the battle. This adds an element of strategy and adaptability to the competition, as wizards must adjust their tactics based on the environment. As the battle progresses, contestants unleash a multitude of spells and enchantments upon each other. Fireballs explode in the air, lightning crackles through the arena, and the earth shakes under the weight of powerful earthquakes. Spectators are spellbound by the dazzling display of magic and the sheer power wielded by the contestants. In order to emerge victorious, contestants must combine their magical abilities with their physical prowess. They engage in hand-to-hand combat, utilizing martial arts and close-quarter combat techniques, while simultaneously casting spells and conjuring protective shields. It is a delicate balance between offense and defense, strategy and spontaneity. As the battle nears its end, the intensity heightens. Desperate to claim victory, wizards push the boundaries of their magical abilities, resorting to ever more powerful spells and incantations. Fierce clashes and explosive spell duels become common, with contestants using their wits and skill to outmaneuver their opponents. Finally, only one wizard remains standing - the ultimate victor. This champion is hailed as the most skilled and formidable magician, earning respect and admiration from their peers. The magic battle royale not only showcases the power and artistry of magic but also provides a platform for wizards to demonstrate their mastery and assert their place within the magical community. In conclusion, the magic battle royale is an exhilarating and visually stunning competition that showcases the awe-inspiring world of magic. It combines physical combat with spellcasting, creating a unique and captivating spectacle. Through intense training and strategic battles, wizards compete to be crowned the last wizard standing, proving themselves as the most skilled and powerful magician of all..
