Welcome to Potter's Army

We have been a Harry Potter Roleplaying site since 2007. If you're an old member we hope you come check out the discord link provided below. And if you're looking for a new roleplaying site, well, we're a little inactive. But every once and a while nostalgia sets in and a few of our alumni members will revisit the old stomping grounds and post together. Remember to stay safe out there. And please feel free to drop a line whenever!

Magical Abilities  Li9olo10

What’s Happening?
Since every few months or so a few of our old members get the inspiration to revisit their old stomping grounds we have decided to keep PA open as a place to revisit old threads and start new ones devoid of any serious overarching plot or setting. Take this time to start any of those really weird threads you never got to make with old friends and make them now! Just remember to come say hello in the chatbox below or in the discord. Links have been provided in the "Comings and Goings" forum as well as the welcome widget above.

There are no perfect characters, and no character has infinitely many powers and abilities with unmatched magical potential. At least not on PA that is. That is why, you will have to apply here to use specific abilities! Some of these abilities are canon, while others are made to suit PA.

You don’t have to register for all abilities of course, only special ones. Here are a list of abilities you can use whenever you want as long as you meet the requirements.

Now before I list old and new abilities some necessary changes were made so it would be more easier to track you all.

There have been listed levels for each ability. Three levels to be more specific: Beginner, Average and Advanced level. In theory you should know what level you are though if I consider you are inappropriate for one of the abilities I can always reject your application.
Beginner level is made for NEWT students. It resembles all people who do have this ability, but are not still able to control it which in simple words means they are still beginners with it.
Average level means you can control your ability better, but you didn't still manage to use all aspects on it and still sometimes have problems with controlling it.
Advanced level resembles all people that absolutely in every occasion they wish can handle this ability which is characteristic of rather experienced wizards and witches.

Now without further explanations here is the list of old and some new abilities that have been added. Wandless magic has now been put into few categories for lower tier members while the actual all powerful ability is available only for upper tiers.

NON-SPECIAL ABILITIES


Nonverbal Magic – Nonverbal Magic is taught at Defense against the Dark arts to students at year seven.

Occlumency– The ability to prevent someone from reading your mind and controlling your thoughts. Lack of compassion makes for a better Occlumens – Draco, Snape. Occlumency can be learned at any Year 6 or higher by appointment with Headmaster Majere,

Apparation – Apparation is the ability to move from one place to another in seconds, sort of like teleporting. Apparation is learnt at sixth year at Hogwarts. All sixth years and above therefore have this ability. Remember,you cannot Apparate at Hogwarts.

The other abilities you have to apply for below. Remember, yellow abilities are up for grabs. Orange are uncommon, while you probably won’t get red unless you provide a good description and it suits your characters personality. For example: A death eater won’t get speak to animals, while a Order member won’t get parseltongue.

LEARNED ABILITIES

Leglimency – the act of invading somebody’s mind in order to control him/her or read their thoughts. It is considered a dark act and isn’t done by good wizards, it is difficult art as well and only people who have taken advanced education at Hogwarts are able to do this. (NEWT’s and Graduates)

Wandless Magic – some wizards have mastered the art of magic so well they are able to use magic without their wands. Of course, magic is much harder to use and weaker in power without the wand. This is considered a very difficult ability to learn. (Graduates).

Healing is the ability of healing people without the use of wand or potions. Ofcourse no one can heal dead people or injuries that can't be healed like injuries made from Sectumsempra spell for example. Healing process requires only a few moments. (Professional Healers).

Invisibility is the ability of one becoming invisible without the use of wand at the time he needs it and at the place he needs it. Effect lasts as long as its user requires it while he is in condition to control it.

Mind Control is a process in which a group or an individual “systematically” use manipulative methods to persuade others to conform to the wishes of the manipulator. (Advanced DEs)

Memory manipulation is the ability of manipulating person's memories, including projecting lost memories for one to re-experience. This is either used in healing purposes or by Dark Wizards. (Advanced Graduates).

Telepathy is transfer of information on thoughts or feelings between individuals by meaning other then the five senses.

Flying – Possibly the most difficult of abilities to learn, flying is the ability to fly without the use of a broomstick. This is also considered a difficult ability to learn. Flying for even one hour is very difficult. (Graduates).

Animagus – Some wizards are able to transform themselves into an animal. Any wizard can do this, although it is quite difficult to learn.

INHERITED ABILITIES:

Parseltongue – The ability to speak to snakes and therefore command them. This is considered a dark ability.

Speaking to Animals – The ability to speak to creatures (not magical) and communicate and even befriend them.

Metamorphagus – The ability to change appearance at will.

Telekenisis –Some wizards have the ability to move things without using hands or wands. Of course, they can only move small objects.

Seer – Seers can see into the future and predict certain events. There are two types of seers, short term and long term. Short term seers can predict things which will happen in a few days or weeks time, but in a blurry and confused way. Long term seers can see a more vivid image, but are unable to tell what time it will happen. They can also only predict major events.

Empathyis ability to share another being's feelings and emotions. This ability can either be inherited or transferred from one wizard to another where ofcourse the original owner stays without it. No one can transfer this ability without approval of its original owner.

Astral Projection is ability to willingly shed your body safely (no one can steal it). It's very easy to get back because your soul is bound to your body.

Post by Luna-Lorrie Hastenfield Mon Sep 06, 2010 6:46 pm

Name: Luna-Lorrie Hastenfield
Age: 11
Ability Desired: Animagus
How your character got this ability: Silas taught her how to be an Animagus because he wanted her to have an advantage over many other people her age. However, because she was forced into this ability she's still unable to control it. She turns into her form at random times. Her form is that of a mostly black cat with white.

(Are werewolves allowed Animagi or is their wolf form sufficient?)

Oh well i think your charrie is too young for Animagus. I don't even consider anyone under the age of 16 for that.

As in for Brienne if she is a werewolf i think it's a bit too much to be animagi on top of it.

So with this whole new thing about the red abilities being given as rewards, how do we earn them? I was hoping to drop Jack's ability of telepathy, since I have not worked that into her plot, and instead apply for empathy. How would I go about doing that?

Name: Samantha Burns
Age: 15
Ability Desired: Flying (I know that it's a red ability, but my girl had it before, Ne'os taught it to her, and I was approved, It will be hard to explain how suddenly she doesn't have it.)
How your character got this ability: At the begining of Ne'os and Samantha's relationship, Ne'Os taught samantha how to fly. He said that he had learned it from either the person who turned him into a vampire or by Voldimort. I can't remember right now. It took her most of her time and all the way up to being 15 to learn how to even hover in the air, and even then it's not for a long time. She likes to be able to fly since she's not to good with spells. She not even good at healing. So having this advantage on her eneimies, is helpful to her.

Post by Sophia Granger Tue Sep 07, 2010 4:54 am

Name: Sophia Lestrange
Age: 17
Ability Desired: Telepathy, Animagus, talking to animals (I'm giving up Leglimency to be a Telepathic)
How your character got this ability:

Telepathy:

Sophia always wanted to learn to have conversation with thers without speaking, so Sophia's fifith year she started learning how to become a Telepathic the same time she was learning to be an animagus as well. Although she mastered the animagus it took her awhile to master being a telepathic for she kept on reading other people thoughts besides Professor Shacklebolt the one who was teaching her. It took Sophia two complete years to master it but she mastered it the end of her sixth year at Hogwarts. Sophia uses this ability to talk to others when she doesn't feel like talking or during battles which she has done countless of times. This one of Sophia's favorite ability besides being an animagus which is a solid white wolf with brown eyes.


Animagus:
Sophia always wanted to becoe an animagus ever since she saw Professor Shacklebolt change into his animagus one day in front of her. Doing some research and trying to figure out how do it on her own for two years Sophia came to Professor Shacklebolt for help. Being the kind Professor and Headmaster he was he agreed to help Sophia become one. After many painful nights of transforming and few days of being half wolf and half human Sophia mastered it her sixth year at Hogwarts by accident. It happened in her transfigurations class when she was transforming a quill into a owl. Ever since then Sophia has been a white wolf with brown eyes which she loves.

Talking to animals:


When Sophia was a little girl she was always called a freak by the other kids at her school which made her cry alot. Knowing Sophia was different she walked over towards a bench alone and started talking to a robin but to her surprise it talked back. After talking to it all lunch break Sophia became friends with the Robin after telling the robin her story how she was different from the others kids and how they called her a freak. A few days later Sophia came to talk to her robin friend as well as other animals which she figured Robin told her about. Being friends with all the animals at her school and home Sophia got accepted to Hogwarts and told them she was leaving but she'll be back this summer. Even though Sophia is older she still talks to her furry animals friends who keep her company and protect her. Sophia uses this ability in battles as well as just talking to animals and being friends with her. Some of the animals are very friendly to her as well as protective of Sophia.

I will or might accept these abilities. But soon, not now. For now we need to edit the method for giving abilities a bit. So I am locking the thread for the current time.
