Three suspect wizards—Ignis, Pyra, and Vesper—stand before a judge. One is a Fire Wizard who always tells the truth, one is an Ice Wizard who always lies, and one is a Storm Wizard who can lie or tell the truth. - Ignis says: 'Vesper is the Storm Wizard.' - Pyra says: 'Ignis is the Ice Wizard.' - Vesper says: 'I am the Ice Wizard.' Which wizard is which?
Ignis is the Fire Wizard, Pyra is the Ice Wizard, and Vesper is the Storm Wizard.
Neither the Fire Wizard (truth-teller) nor the Ice Wizard (liar) can claim 'I am the Ice Wizard', so Vesper must be the Storm Wizard. Since Vesper is the Storm Wizard, Ignis's statement is true, making Ignis the Fire Wizard. That leaves Pyra as the Ice Wizard, whose statement ('Ignis is the Ice Wizard') is false, as required.
