Abilities

The character abilities system is currently under review.

More details will be posted when they become available.

Skill points

All accounts have a set of skill points. These are used to claim skills/abilities for your character.

Initial points

All accounts start with 4 Skill Points.

Earning points

Extra skill points are earned in the following situations:

• 3 points when post count is greater than 50
• 1 point every 500 posts
• 2 points every year of membership

It is the member's responsibility to notify a moderator when a Skill Point benchmark has been passed in order to have their point count updated.

Allocating points

Each skill/ability has a points cost. The total points cost of your skills/abilities must not exceed your total skill points (refer to 'Skill Points' above for details).

Not all points must be allocated at once. You can 'save' points for a later time.

Your requested allocation is subject to moderator approval, based on the quality of your posts, your general involvement in the site and the bacgkround information you submit with your application.

Reallocating points

Points can only be reallocated when:

• a point is earned
• a new skill becomes available

Reallocation is subject to moderator approval.

Submit a request if you wish to reallocate your points.

Follow the links below to view the skills and points cost:

• Magical Abilities A

Inactivity

You are considered inactive if:

• you have not been online for 4 weeks
• have not posted in 6 weeks

If you use an ability not registered to your character, the following restrictions will be imposed on your account:

• first offence - Skill Points halved for a month, some abilities will be unavailable
• second offence - Skill Points set to 0 for a month, no special abilities available

Animagi

An Animagus is a witch or wizard who has the ability to Transfigure herself/himself into an animal at will while retaining her/his mental powers, such as the ability to think as a human (taken from HP-Lexicon).

Being a complicated act of magic, Animagus registration is only open to 4th years and above.

After applying to become an Animagus you must wait 1 role-playing year (6 months) before using the ability. During this time your character must seek a way to learn to become an Animagus, either by asking a Professor, contacting someone at the Ministry or by some other means.

After learning the ability you will be required to show Admin the threads in which your character was learning the ability. Based on these threads, your application will be approved or rejected.
