• ANIMAGUS - animagus' are people who can turn into an animal. from magical creatures to everyday creatures. however magical creatures are much more rare and are few and far. common everyday creatures however are more seen. this skill can be in a blood line, it can show up spontaneously in one, it can also be learned. its takes a few years though to get the transformation down though when learning. forms must be registered. you don't have to but the cost of getting caught as an unregistered animagus is either a fine from the ministry of magic and/or time in azkaban along with the registration of your name, what you become and any markings or special traits known to your form that can identify you.
• METAMORPHAGUS - metamorphagus' are people who can change their appearances at will. however witches and wizards are only born with this trait either spontaneously or by bloodline, it cannot be learned. there is no need to register with the ministry for this because quite frankly that would be useless as the changes you can do are unlimited.
• PARSTLEMOUTH - parstletoungues or parstlemouths are people who can talk to snakes. this gift is rare and more common in the bloodline decending from salazar slytherin. one of the four founders of hogwarts. even though some people can mimick the language they cannot understand what snakes say if they spoke to them.
• OCCLUMENCY - occlumency is the art of magically defending the mind against external penetration, sealing it against magical intrusion and influence - the defensive counter to legilimency. a practitioner of occlumency is referred to as an occlumens. occlumency is a necessary prerequisite to defeat a legilimens' lie-detector abilities without suspicious behaviour such as avoiding face-to-face contact and eye contact. elementary occlumency involves clearing the mind of thought and emotion, so that the legilimens can find no emotional ties to memories that the target wishes to conceal. in its more advanced form, occlumency allows the user to suppress only feelings and memories that contradict what the user wishes a legilimens to believe, thus allowing the occlumens to lie without self-betrayal.
• LEGILIMENCY - legilimency, a branch of magic not normally taught at hogwarts (at least, not at ordinary wizarding level) is the ability to extract emotions and memories from another person's mind. although the word literally translates as 'mind-reading', this is considered a naive interpretation of the art by its practitioners. Ssomeone who practices legilimency is known as a legilimens. legilimency is easier when the spell-caster is physically near the target, and when the target is off-guard, relaxed, or otherwise vulnerable. eye contact is often essential, so it is useful for a legilimens to verbally manipulate his or her target into meeting the legilimens' eyes, with the fringe benefit that the target's emotional state may bring relevant associated memories to the surface.
