I couldn't easily find it. But it's entitled something like "Saber Cherry...an astral favor if you please."

Gee, I was puzzled too.
It happened a while ago, so my memory is a bit hazy (bad habits), but I remember remnants of my army paralyzed due to sphinx' Astral Shield. After 20-some rounds sphinx regained fatigue to cast a spell, cast MD and bam! he's gone. He cast it against my Astral-1, astral-2 at most mage.

What level astral was the sphinx?

Maybe went over 200 fatique with that spell.

Does magic duel not use open-ended dice, like everything else?

If it does, then anyone could lose to anyone else, given enough luck, which is what I would expect. Another gamble where the stronger one usually wins, but sometimes dies to something much weaker.
