Rules for Magic
For the purposes of this RP, we will be using a level based system for magic. Your characters magic 'level' will correspond, in a majority of cases, to their year at school, although there are of course exceptions to the rule.
So First Years would generally have a Magic Level of 1, second years; level 2, and so on. School graduates would usually have a Magic Level of 8 or 9, depending on their prowess, though again, there are room for some exceptions.
All spells from the Harry Potter universe are allowed to be used, though some require a certain Magic Level to cast. You can find more information about specific spells and magic levels below. If you wish to submit your own original spells to be used in the roleplay, you can do so here.

Duelling
What would a HPRP be without some good ol' wandslingin' action?! Whether it's your school rival or the next Big Bad you're Duelling, we have some guidelines for magical mayhem;
1. You may NOT auto-hit another players characters. When Duelling with a player character, battles will run on the same principle as any other RP fight. You outline your players' attack, and their intended effect, and the other player decides if and how their character is affected by the attack.
1a: When fighting an NPC character controlled by yourself, you may inflict damage; however, be realistic about your characters Magic Level and limitations.
1b: When fighting an NPC character controlled by a GM, the same rules apply as if you were Duelling a player character.
2. You are not Dumbledore. I know, I know, but he's so badass! Too bad. As stated above, keep your characters Magic Level and abilities in mind when fighting. It's no fun for anyone but you, duelling a first year that's impervious to every attack.
3. Remember your Magic Level; if a character attempts a spell beyond their ablities, there could be dire consequences!! Best case scenario - the spell just doesn't work. Worst case; you might cop it, rather than your opponent if it backfires!
So keep your characters level and limitations in mind, be realistic about damage dealt out and taken, and keep your wand arm ready! And remember, sometimes tactics and teamwork are more important than power. ;)
Magic Levels
Nil - No magical ability. Muggles and Squibs fall into this category. Some squibs still possess some affinity for magical elements, such as heightened intuition and affinity with animals.
One - Entry-level magical ability. Can perform simple spells, with practise.
Two - Seven - Equivalent to the average Magical Level of a Hogwarts student of the corresponding year.
Eight - Average adult level, able to perform most spells with relative ease.
Nine - Above-average. Normal spells are a breeze, and complicated magic is not beyond them. An Animagus or Potions Master would be considered at this level.
Ten - A master magic user. You're Dumbledore.
