How many joules would you expend having a duel over a jewel?

Question

(Dual meanings permitted)

Answer 1

If the jewel was very precious, I would make it a point to amp up my dueling skills so I could defend myself properly. I would want to know exactly watt to do to ensure I was not short-circuited in the duel. I would do that on my own acCORD to give myself every chance to put up the greatest resistance possible.
