Special Races, Abilities and Conditions


SPECIAL ABILITIES

At Hogwarts New Zealand we accept the following as true special abilities that a character may have. These gifts are generally rare and will occasionally require special training to achieve while others will have been inherited genetically

• Parselmouth
• Metamorphmagus
• Animagus
• Legilimency
• Occlumency
• Seer

Abilities Requiring Training:

1. Animagus
   An animagus is a witch or a wizard who can change into the form of an animal at will through the use of Transfiguration.
   In order to be able to transform oneself into an animal at will requires a mastery of Transfiguration, a mastery which cannot be attained through normal schooling and lessons. It takes years of practise and special lessons to be able to attain such a gift. In fact, this gift is so special all those who are skilled enough to be Animagi must register with the Ministry of Magic.
   Any member with a student who they wish to become an animagus may apply to be one so long as their character is in their third year, have excelled in Transfiguration thus far and will continue to excel throughout OWLs and NEWTs.
2. Legilimency
   Legilimency is the ability to extract thoughts and emotions from other's minds as well as to influence their mind with your own.
   This power will be open to fifth year students and above to apply for training for. It will require outstanding marks in all prior years and future success in all core magical fields of study.
   If your application is accepted, your character will be taught the art of Legilimency for a minimum of one year before being declared an official Legilimens.
3. Occlumency
   Occlumency is the ability to be able to protect one's mind from external intrusion. This is the precise opposite of Legilimency. As such, the same requirements for Legilimency apply to applicants for the power of occlumency.
4. Seer
   Being a seer is to be able to see into the future, predict it, interpret it and to do so almost at will.
   To apply for your character to be a seer you must have a character who has taken at least two years of Divination with Os in both years. Special lessons will be supplied to your character and after them they must receive at least an A in their NEWT Divination course.

Abilities that are genetically inherited:

1. Parselmouth
   Parseltongue is the language of serpents, therefor those who speak it are known as Parselmouths. The ability to speak in this hiss-like language is excruciatingly rare and cannot truly be taught.
   You may apply for your character to have been born with this trait, though be prepared to defend your request if need be.
2. Metamorphmagus
   A metamorphmagus is a witch or wizard who is able to change their appearance at will.
   This gift is excruciatingly rare and is inherited genetically. It cannot be taught or learned.
   The same conditions for applying are here as they were for Parselmouth.
