A wizards' duel took place when two magicians battled each other with magic.

At the close of the Battle under Farthen Dûr, Eragon Shadeslayer dueled with Durza the Shade. Durza wounded Eragon, but thanks to Arya and Saphira, Eragon managed to defeat him, allowing the Varden to take advantage over the fighting Urgals.
[edit] Eragon vs. Murtagh/Saphira vs. Thorn
At the Battle of The Burning Plains, Eragon and Saphira battled Murtagh and his dragon, Thorn, who had been forced to join Galbatorix. Eragon and Saphira were tired from the fighting and Murtagh was able to pin Eragon with magic. In the end, Murtagh chose to let Eragon go.
