Special Abilities

There are some abilities that are incredibly rare in the wizarding world- so they will be rare here, too. To apply for one, simply post the short application found at the bottom of this post below.


Animagi
An Animangus is a witch or wizard who can transform him/herself into an animal at will. This is not a skill they are born with. It is difficult to learn, and is best learned from a professional. Animagi are strictly controlled by the ministry and it is illegal to become one without registering through the proper channels.

Animagi Basics:

  • They have their own specific animal form – they can be identified by their markings and such.
  • They do not choose the amimal, it is chosen for them and is a reflection of their personality.
  • They retain full control of their transformations and minds.
  • They cannot transform into any other animal.
  • Sometimes the animal is the same animal as their patronus.
  • The animal may not be a mythical/magical creature such as a Dragon.

Metamorphmagi
A metamorphmagus is a witch or a wizard born with the ability to change all or part of their appearance. This cannot be learned; it is an inherited (possibly genetic] trait. It is apparently quite rare.

Metamorphmagi Basics:

  • They can completely change their appearance.
  • They can choose their looks.
  • They cannot change into an animal completely.

Parselmouth

A Parselmouth is a witch or wizard who understands and can speak Parseltongue, the language of snakes. It is commonly associated with Dark Wizards, though it is not necessarily an evil quality. It is very rare, and probably a combination of genetics and learning.

Seer

A seer is a witch or wizard who has the ability to predict the future. True seers, born with the inner eye, are incredibly rare. However, a witch or wizard who wishes to undergo training may become very skilled at using magical means to predict the future.

Seer Basics :

  • They can see/predict future events.
  • Their visions may be clouded by Dark Magic.
  • Their predictions may not always come true. People may change their minds, or it can be a mistake on the part of the seer.

Occlumens

Occulmency is the shielding of one’s mind against legilimency. Occulumens have the ability to compartmentalize their thoughts and emotions to prevent a legilimens from gaining access to them. This is a learned skill, but it is incredibly difficult to master. Years of study under the mentorship of a master Occlumens is required to become one.

Occlumens Basics:

  • They can hide lies and deceit.
  • Keep nosy people out of their minds
  • They are not immune from truth serums.

Legilimens

Legilimency is the ability to extract thoughts, feelings, and memories from someone else’s mind. It’s also used to convey thoughts and emotions to another person. It is blocked by Occlumency. This is a learned skill, but it is incredibly difficult to master. Years of study under the mentorship of a master legilimens is required to become one.

Legilimens Basics:

  • They can “read” thoughts, feelings, and emotions in someone else’s mind.
  • They can detect lies and deceit.
  • They can plant false memories
  • They can’t get past an unbreakable vow, or dark magic/protections of the ministry.

Apparation

Apparation is a magical form of transportation that is sort of like teleportation. As it is very dangerous and risky, the ministry requires that one obtains a license before being allowed to apparate. You must be over the age of 17 to obtain such a license. Hogwarts offers a 12-week class for a nominal fee.

Veela

A Veela is a part magical/part human creature sort of like Sirens from Greek mythology. Their appearance and dance make them nearly irresistible to men.

Werewolf

Werewolves are created by other wolves after being bitten during a full moon. Ordinarily they look like regular folk, but every full moon they transform into a near wolf. They can be distinguished from regular wolves by the following little characteristics: pupils of the eyes, snout shape, and tufted tail. During such transformation, they lose themselves in their wolfish instincts. If alone with animals, they may even resort to attacking themselves. Mercifully, Wolfsbane potion (taken correctly) can help with the mental part of the transformation, allowing victims to keep control of their minds. If bitten by a transformed werewolf outside of the full moon, the person may not fully become werewolf, and may simply develop some wolf-like characteristics.
