Special Power List
Below is the list of powers that are allowed upon the site. If you do not see it here, then it is not allowed. Some powers require you to PM the admin when you make the character while others simply require you to be a certain age. So make sure you read everything in the power you desire. Thank you.
Animagus
These wonderful wizards and witches trained in the art of transforming into an animal. However, they can only transform into a single animal and they are required to register that they have this power. Though many people go unregistered, anyone who dares become a professor (or any job that in the wizarding world) are most certainly required to be registered if they want that job. Additionally, any student who desires to learn this power, must be fifth year or higher! Note: Any student who learns to be an animagi through the class, are automatically registered![/b]

Apparition
Apparition is a magical form of teleportation, through which a witch or wizard can disappear from one location and reappear in another. It is sometimes accompanied by a distinctive cracking or popping sound, though this is associated with ineptitude rather than success; the most skilled wizards can Apparate "so suddenly and silently" that they seem to have "popped out of the ground". The act is also accompanied by a very unpleasant squeezing sensation, as though being sent through a tight rubber tube, according to Harry. The Ministry licenses apparition, and a witch or wizard must be 17 years old or older and have a license to use Apparition in the same way real-world governments require individuals to have a license to drive a motor vehicle. Students at Hogwarts may attend Ministry lessons in Apparition during their sixth year, and may take their examination once they turn seventeen.[/b]

Legilimency
Legilimency is the magical skill of extracting feelings and memories from another person's mind — a form of magical "telepathy" (although Snape, an able practitioner of the art, dismisses the colloquial term, "mind-reading", as a drastic oversimplification). It also allows one to convey visions or memories to another person, whether real or imaginary. A witch or wizard possessing this skill is called a Legilimens, and can, for example, detect lies and deceit in another person, witness memories in another person's past, or "plant" false visions in another's mind. Another advanced form of Occlumency is to plant false temporary memories inside an Occlumens´ own head while blocking all other true memories, so if a legilimens, even a highly skilled one, were to attempt to read the mind he or she would find false memories only and believe everything was right.

Metamorphmagi
A Metamorphmagus is a witch or wizard born with the innate ability to change some or all of their appearance at will. The talent cannot be acquired; a witch or wizard who has it must be born with it. PM Admin[/b] (4 open spots)

Parselmouth
Parseltongue is the language of snakes. It is, in the common mind, associated with Dark Magic (although Dumbledore has stated that it is not necessarily an evil quality), and those possessing the ability to speak it ("Parselmouths") are very rare. It appears to be a skill acquired through both learning or via a method of xenoglossia, such as through genetic inheritance (or by use of Dark or dangerous Magic). PM Admin[/b] (1 open spots)

Occlumency
The counter-skill to Legilimency is Occlumency (and its user, known as an Occlumens), by which one can compartmentalize one's emotions, or prevent a Legilimens from discovering thoughts or memories which contradict one's spoken words or actions. PM Admin[/b] (2 open spots)

Werewolf
A werewolf is a human who, upon the rising of the full moon, turns into a fearsome near-wolf. Werewolves can be distinguished from regular wolves by several small distinguishing characteristics, such as the pupils of the eyes, snout shape, and tufted tail. At all other times, they appear as normal humans, though will often seem to be ill as the full moon approaches. This condition is caused by infection with lycanthropy, usually occurring when a human is bitten by a transformed werewolf. There is no known cure, but the effects can be lessened with the Wolfs-bane Potion. Note: Only Adults can sign up for this power! PM Admin[/b] (3 open spots)
