Stephen Strange was finally making it to his first class after enrollment to the Hogwarts school for wizards. The hat had chosen for him to be in the famous house known as Gryffindor, thus he knew he had to live up to the hype and expectations of the past greats that were graduated from this house. He'd walk in, seeing he was the first to make it, sighing as he mumbles to himself.

Great... I'll look like some ass kissing teachers pet, showing up all early and such.

He'd shake off the little thoughts he had, then would look around to see the perfect seating for himself. He chose a seat almost in the center of the room, giving himself a good view of everything around him but not sitting too far or too close to the teacher. Waiting for the others, he took out his wand that was specially crafted for him, twirling the white wand around as if it was a mini pole of sorts. The Ashwood and Veela Hair that made up the wand really spoke stories of his character, and he wanted to show off the fact that he planned on being a master of the specific field this class was teaching; Charms...

So, this is the Charms class huh? Empty enough i see, i guess it isn't a popular field. Eh..

couldn't help but to be excited in spite of herself as she half-walks, half-skips down the corridor to Charms Class proudly sporting her new Slytherin colors. Her whole life her mom and dad went on and on about the power of her blood, but did they ever teach her a single spell? Nope.

Thankfully, however, her moment was finally here. After just a few years of studies, she'd finally be a full-fledged witch. She had stayed up late last night reading about the spells she'd be learning and how to cast them, desperate to make a good first impression. Swish and flick, she thought to herself, flicking her wrist like she was holding her wand. Maybe, if she did really well, he'd even teach her some more advanced spells!

When she finally arrived to class, she pushed the door open and was immediately greeted by a rancid whiff of B.O. She didn't have to look far for its source. Sitting right in the middle of the room, there was a boy from Gryffindor twirling his wand about all willy-nilly. No respect for his wand; probably a mudblood too.. Not wishing to be closer to the B.O. scented boy than need be, she pretends not to see him and quickly steps forward to the right-most desk in the front row, where she neatly lays out her spellbook, parchment, quill, ink and wand before neatly folding her hands over her book, patiently waiting for class to begin.

A young Victor Von Doom, unscarred and unsullied by his own drive and desires arrives at Hogwarts. Still a relatively normal looking young man, Victor came here with the same determination and goals he'd carry with him to adulthood. To save his mother, he must learn everything he could about the world that she had succumbed to. That one goal had brought him to the only place that could serve his needs, Hogwarts. Dressed in a small suit that perfectly fit his frame, Victor looked the picture of perfection and neatness. His hair was perfectly maintained as well as the rest of his attire, and he carried with him an average sized tome that he had been pouring over in preparation for this moment.

As he came to the large open room he saw two other presumed classmates in it already. He quickly swept over the room and the other two inhabitants of it, getting a good view of of it and trying to figure what he should expect from this. The other people in the room, and any others that might enter, would only serve to distract the stern looking young boy. And he couldn't afford to be distracted even slightly. He walked in the room in silence as he chose to sit at the far end of the room in the front row.

Vivi stumbles into the classroom, falling through the doorway and landing in front of his students in a jumbled mess. Papers and books are strewn about the room as a loud crash echoes through the large class room. Standing up however, he acts as if nothing happened. With a flourish of his wand, a piece of parchment shoots out from the pile of rubbish and into Vivi's hand. A simple list of names, alerting Vivi to the number of people in the class. It seemed like there was a student missing from the class...although it was expected. Many are late on their first day of class at Hogwarts, the corridors were extremely hard to navigate. Just the other day, Vivi got lost on his way to the kitchens and found himself in a wonderful room full of every kind of food you can imagine.

it seems like this is most everyone's first class...

Flicking his wand lazily, Vivi causes the chalk on the black board to begin writing by itself.

"Welcome to your first year at Hogwarts! Seeing as many of you know little to nothing about magic (being from muggle-born), I'd like you to each write an essay on Magic, and the Kisei clan itself. You have one hour, good luck!"

 

[Shady Doctor]

After seeing the weirdo teacher come in, he or she didn't even introduce itself. It was weird looking and Tiny, but Stephen tried his hardest not to judge. They were wizards after all, and would probably see much more out of the ordinary things than this. Once the instructions were given, even though the instructor didn't personally speak the instructions to them, Stephen grabbed a note pad, and a pen before begging his "essay". He hated this part of schooling.

( First I'll start with what the Kisei clan is as a whole. Our clan is based off of "magic" or Mahou. Mahou is advanced ninjutsu that allows us to bend our Vitaliy and will to control the world around us. This form of Mahou is so great that it is practiced through speech and movement of tools, which is typically our wands. Speaking of which, our wands aren't any simple tool. They are tools made from the dormant form of the juubi, or better understood as the wood from the chakra tree which the juubi was. The wands come with their own "personality", thus the wand chooses its wielder. The wands help to advance the usage of certain abilities such as the basic 5 elements, self made elements, genjutsu and even the Kisei clan's Mahou abilities. The types of Mahou abilities come in 5 different categories which can be specialized in with enough training and insight. One form of mahou is Transfiguration, is basically using magic to manipulate the appearance and form of objects. Another is the Dark arts, which i was Warned to be wary of. Dark arts are looked down upon and aim to hurt, or better yet kill with offensive actions. These arts typically cause an intense amount of pain and suffering along with a great scale of damage. While we're on the subject of dark arts. There's also a magic category known as DADA, or Defense Against Dark Arts. This is used for exactly what it hints towards; To defend or protect against what we know to be dark arts. Then there's my favorite, the Charms. Charms take magic and gives things new and different properties. This can range from turning water into mist, or turning an earth dragon into a plastic chair. The limits to this is unimaginable and i plan to take it as far as possible. Other than that, we also have potions. Potions can give a variety of affects. This includes, but not limited to giving added strength, transforming ourselves, healing and much more. There's also two exclusive categories that not many know of, which are Occlumency and Legilimency. One is used for stealth while the other is used for awareness. I don't know much on these, so forgive my lack of knowledge.

I believe that's all i know of magic thus far but will learn more in due time. )

Once Stephen was done, which was first of his class, he got up and turned the paper in to the little black thing. He second guessed himself alot, thinking that he might have rushed it or simply didn't have as much knowledge as the others since they were still writing.

Morgana was surprised at the creature who was their professor, so much so that it takes her a moment to even realize that it was already asking for an essay. She shakes her head, shoeing away the distraction and focuses on the creature's question. She knew much of magic, both from growing up with fanatical wizarding parents and reading her textbooks, and was glad the class was starting off on a good note for her. She carefully constructs a brief essay to answer the question.

Beginning with Merlin finding the monks who taught him mahou, the essay lauds Merlin as a hero and explains that the Kisei clan started with him, adding that pure blooded people are descended from he himself. She goes on to explain that mahou is a unique trait present in some seemingly random humans in addition to passing down through bloodlines.

A large portion of the essay is devoted to explaining how mahou works, asserting that mahou users are able to use an advanced form of ninjutsu, Spells, to focus their powers of will and vitality through a wand, often requiring verbal and gestural commands as well. The different components of a wand will alter what types of magic it excels at casting. The spells are divided into four main categories: Charms, Transfiguration, Dark Arts, and Defense Against the Dark Arts. A brief description of those classes is also given in the essay.

The essay concludes with a repetition of the most important points regarding casting spells, and more Merlin praise.

Using the full hour, Morgana finally lays her quill down and looks down at her essay, satisfied with her work. She carries the essay over to the professor with a confident look on her face. Nodding to the professor as she hands it in, she returns to her seat and eagerly awaits more.

( I was told that you guys wanted an OOC training )

Alright cool, you guys have a good grasp of Magic/Mahou. Here's another explanation, and if you happen to have questions, ask them in your next reply.

Witches/wizards/Kisei are people descended from Merlin who are able to make use of Mahou. Kisei are able to utilize Mahou and impose their will upon the world around them, through the use of magic which is usually channeled through wands. Being composed of wood from the Juubi's dormant husk, they are exceedingly good at channeling chakra and Mahou.

Mahou itself is an alternative form of ninjutsu used by the descendants of Merlin. Instead of requiring handseals to be manipulated, it can be manipulated through verbal incantations and arm movements to result in the desired effects. Mahou can be imbued in potions, can be used to alter an object's properties (charms), transform or conjure objects (Transfiguration), and even to defend against genjutsu and attack minds (occlumency/leglimens). Of course there is a darker aspect to Mahou"​

Now then, Kisei are divided into three basic classes:

Muggle Borns (no Kisei parents)
Halfblood (One kisei parent)
Pure blood (two Kisei parents)

Then, they're divided further into two factions/affiliations.

Light and Dark wizard are the two affiliations. Light wizards tend to focus on more defensive magic, while dark wizards use more complicated dark magic such as curses. Light magic is literally any magic that ISN'T dark magic, whereas dark magic is an entirely different brand of magic. Dark magic is using Mahou to hurt people directly, mostly techniques made for the express purpose of harming another living creature. Although, dark magic isn't limited to that either. It also encapsulates magic which is so twisted and depraved that normal wizards would find it repulsive or abhorrent, such as making a horcrux. It's divided into hexes, jinxes, and curses.
​

First, we'll be looking at charms:

Charms are using Mahou or magic in order to alter an object's properties, or give it new properties. However, that isn't really an absolute definition. A patronus charm does not alter an object's properties, it is instead a conjuration of pure happiness. In addition protection charms can conjure shields and other defenses. In a more general explanation, charms usually are spells which are inherently 'positive' and harmless rather than 'neutral' like Transfiguration or 'negative' like the dark arts. For example tickling charms, protection charms, the love charm, etc. While Charms alter an object's properties, Transfiguration spells can change the object into something else, vanish it, or even conjure a new object. Charms just change the object, summoning it, changing its color, etc. When an object is charmed, it's called 'bewitched', and charms usually use more extravagant wand movements, and more elaborate invocations than say a Transfiguration spell. Charms are shot as a beam of magic. Charms can also be put to destructive effect however, since it can change an object's property to 'destroyed'. All are within the realm of possibility, and the only limitation to a charm is your own imagination.
​

Now, for your next post, I want you to read the above and ask any questions you may have on it. Then, I want you to attempt the following charm:

The Levitation Charm ( Wingardium Leviosa ) allows the user to target an object and lift it using mahou and chakra to do so. This allows even First years to lift items heavier than they normally would be able to. This allows the user to levitate and lift items in front of him should the need arise, providing him with either cover or a way to defend. Despite its strengths, however, the Levitation Charm has one notable flaw: it does not work on human beings. This can target items up to mid range away. It can't destroy or harm objects though it can be used to transform objects into projectiles. The object will leviate while focus is maintained preventing the use of simultaneous techniques.

It's mandatory to ask at least one question for every spell we do.

 

[Shady Doctor]

No questions on the explanations tbh.

After being shown the technique and how it works, i finally bring myself to attempt it. I'd wave my wand in a unique fashion as if drawing an "S" in mid air while whispering the words " Wingardium Leviosa". This would be aimed to add the levitation affects directly onto my clothing; Affectively levitating my clothing in a fashion to where I'd be lifted as a result. Ofc, not having full control over it, i was merely lifted a few feet before i started to lose control and i stopped the spell.

Questions:

How big of an object would we be able to lift?

When used to throw things as projectiles, would they have any damage or would that simply be free form damage?

 

[Inch]

New avatar is on point vex.

No questions on explanations.

To perform the hovering charm, I swish and flick my wand through the air in the proper motion, ending the movement by pointing it at a nearby rock while I meanwhile utter the incantation, carefully making sure that I stress the different syllables properly. "Wingardium Leviosa." The rock hovers upward, matching the movement of my wand tip. I bring it up into the air a bit, then allow the charm to end. The rock falls to the ground.

Questions:
How does this interact with objects filled with the chakra of others? Can I hover say, an idle a-rank tool someone else created but isn't actively like shooting at me? What if they are shooting it at me? Can I hover CW?

 

[Vex]

Thanks, Inch. They move at Kage rank speed, Will. So a kunai moving that fast would do a fair bit of damage, so would a boulder. It can only affect chakra up to D rank objects, and objects that are unranked. There's not really a size or weight limit, within reason. Don't go lifting meteors, but horses, statues, etc are fine. As long as it isn't connected to the earth (i.e mountains, buildings). This charm is also unique in that it dosen't travel as a beam towards the target.

With the spell, you can lift nearly anything with it - the only exception being a person. However, there are ways around this; by applying the charm to clothes, you're able to levitate the person within them. This was the first use of it when created, using it to lift the clothes of the user to levitate themselves. Objects lifted move at the speed of the average Kage ranked ninja, so while not very fast, it can be used to send large objects at the target. It also works on anything unranked and up to D rank, though there is a way to affect higher ranked items in theory that I'll tell you about later.

Next we have Expelliarmus:

This is the spell EVERYONE knows about. Harry's most popular spell, and the one he uses most often. The disarmament charm is used through the invocation Expelliarmus. It shoots a jet of red light out from the wand and, if it hits, it results in the targeted object flying out of the opponent's hand and shooting three feet into the air. You can use it on people with CWs or wands, or even people who have seven swordsman swords. To make sure the opponent doesn't just catch it, the object usually shoots high into the air.

The Disarming Charm ( Expelliarmus ) is a charm which forces the target to release whatever they were holding at the time. This happens by the wave hitting the target and triggers a "knee jerk" reaction on contact that causes a muscle spasm that releases the weapon. The Disarming Charm causes whatever an opponent is holding at the time to fly high out of their reach, landing 5 meters away. The Disarming Charm always appears as a jet of red light; indeed, this is one of the things that makes it recognisable before the effects of the charm are seen. This can be used up to mid range away from the user.

Same as the previous jutsu

 

[Shady Doctor]

After getting the details of the next spell, i jump back into action, being the first in class to perform the spell once again. Motioning my wand in a unique manner whilst uttering the chants "Expelliarmus", I'd be capable of releasing a bright red streak of Mahou aimed at one of the noobier students in the class. The red stream would no doubtedly hit the student who was off guard, causing his muscles to spasm and jerk, before having his wand reactively shot out of his grasp. The wand would suddenly fly High into the air, hitting the class roofing before landing a few meters away from his position.

Question:

Does the beam have to hit the target or can it hit the weapon and have the same affect? I'm assuming the actual person since it directly affects their muscles, but then again it can always flow through a medium and have the same end result.

 

[Inch]

I say the incantation and perform the necessary wand movement, releasing a bolt of red light loaded with mahou designed to cause a muscle spasm in the hands of my target, who resultantly is forced to release his wand, which arcs high in the air before coming clattering down five meters away from the target.

This isn't really specific to Expelliarmus, but how do the flashes of light in jutsu like this interact with other jutsu. Can this be blocked by any of a fireball, earth wall, or chakra shield? And if so, would it weaken that defense in any way?

 

[Lord of Kaos]

Most charms exists as beams or jets of mahou that appear as different colors. These beams, if mentioned in the spell, require them to touch the target for their effects to trigger and take place. For the Disarming Charm, you need to aim at their body or weapon as both are the target. If the jet of mahou makes contact, it's effects are immediate. Because it's a C rank charm that you guys aren't even supposed to learn yet, it can be beaten with C rank elemental ninjutsu or higher just like most attacks. I'll make a Transfiguration thread as well because the House system isn't working and I'll just train everyone in one thread regardless of House. Sorry for the ruined experience

It can't destroy or harm objects though it can be used to transform objects into projectiles. The object will leviate while focus is maintained preventing the use of simultaneous techniques.

I begin to perform the technique by guiding my wand through the air as I whisper out the words required ''Wingardium Leviosa'', aiming my Wand at a nearby boulder, lifting it up, moving the boulder around through simple movements of the wrist. Having performed and finished, I'd drop it back on the ground where it once was.

Q: Assuming this only lifts physical objects? Also when a simple rock or whatever is turned into a projectile, does it count as an attack the same rank as the mahou used, or just a simple chakra-less projectile? And last one, does this releases a beam of magic to the items its used on as well, or?

I read about the lifting opponents clothes since it doesn't work on humans, nice loophole lol.

This is the spell EVERYONE knows about. Harry's most popular spell, and the one he uses most often. The disarmament charm is used through the invocation Expelliarmus.

Having heard his instructions, Isaac aims his wand at the target and speaks the word needed... ''Expelliarmus'', suddenly a bright red jet of light shoots off and hits the target, causing him/her to spasm and release their hand-held item upwards, shooting off a distance of 5 meters away from where it was held.

Q: How far does the muscle spasm extend to? Can it stop certain taijutsu moves?

What are Charms?

 

[Erzo]

What are Charms?

Charms is the use of magic (shot as a read beam) which upon touching the object aimed at is able to change its usual properties, giving it new properties and altering what it does. Not limited on manipulating objects (whether it's causing them to levitate, fly away, or even summon them), it can be used to cause damage or even hinder humans as well. This is done through various charms which can disarm them, simply repel their bodies, release a beam of magic which can stun and even cause fatal damage, or put them in a position in which they're vulnerable.

It can't destroy or harm objects though it can be used to transform objects into projectiles. The object will leviate while focus is maintained preventing the use of simultaneous techniques.

Now, perform this and I'll let you know if you did wrong or right. Ask any and all questions on this as well.

For everyone else, you're third years now, and can learn B rank spells now. This means you can learn Dark Arts as well, though only the lowest level for now, jinxes. Vex already went over the Charm for second year so Erzo do that one as well and then we move to the next jutsu. z.z
