Character Rules/Combat Rules
Each character can attribute 200 points to proficiency for different spell areas. What you attribute points to can affect your specialty. A perfect 200 points per specialty will be considered the height of magical proficiency.
Curse/Potions Adept: Better at neutralizing threats
Charms/Herbology Adept: Better at defending and healing group members.
Hex Adept: Jack of all trades, master of none. Equally adept at dealing damage and healing
Combat Rules
Spell power: The level of adeptness x D3 determines the power of the spell. We know what spells do, but based on adeptness levels, their degree of success may vary. A killing curse may only work, for example, if a witch or wizard defending against it is too weak to resist, or else it might be easily blocked.
0-50 = not effective at all (+0 to rolls)
51-150 = partially effective (+1 to rolls)
151-250 = Moderately effective (+2 to rolls)
250+ = Very effective (+3 to rolls)
Each player has 20 health points.
Then Roll "rounds" these in order:
2 D20
[(Higher Roll - Lower Roll) / 2] + = Damage to Loser ;
1 D20, 50% chance of damage to Winner also;
If Damage is done:
1 D10, 10 is 100% same as Damage to loser, while 1 is 10%.
Take this number and apply halved Weapon/Armor/Trait numbers to it.
(We round up if you get a decimal)
Then you let the players RP it and decide whether to continue or not.
List of Spells
Every spell is categorized into either offensive, defensive, or neutral spells. In addition, Every spell has a rating referring to the difficulty in conjuring
KEY:
O = offensive
D = defensive
N = neutral
Di = difficulty of the spell to use (ranked 1-10)
Proficiency Scale:
Spells can be performed perfectly when they fall within the proficiency rank a character possesses. For example, when someone performs a level 1 curse with 5 proficiency, it will have no chance of failure unless countered or unless it misses (see willpower). When the same wizard with 5 proficiency attempts a spell above his skill level, the point deficit will be converted into a chance for failure and a modifier added. Attempting spells above one's proficiency level will have an automatic base failure chance of 30%. Then the point deficit will be added to the failure chance.
So the same wizard attempts a level 2 curse with 5 proficiency points in curses. The chance for failure if 40%, the base 30% failure rate added to the point deficit of ten points. When the same wizard attempts a level 5 spell, his chances decrease to 80% failure and so forth.
Level 1 spells: 1-10
Level 2 spells: 10-15
Level 3 spells: 15-25
Level 4 spells: 25-35
Level 5 spells: 35-55
Level 6 spells: 55-75
Level 7 spells: 75-95
Level 8 spells: 95-110
Level 9 spells: 110-125
Level 10 spells: 125-150
Moderators must be involved inthe process of casting spells whenever it is a situation involving a legitimate duel, a battle, on Special Item or Special Skill missions or whenever two opposing wizards/witches are facing one another. Classroom spell casting or duels done for fun will be subject to less formal rules.

A note on Dark Magic: Dark Magic may cause some wounds that are harder to heal with basic potions or magic.
A note on Unforgivable Curses: These curses can only be utilized by highly skillful wizards. These curses are empowered by the emotions and intent of the Wizard or Witch casting them; thus you must have the intent in torturing someone just for the enjoyment in order to use Crucio's full potential. The same goes for Avada Kedavra; you must have the intent to kill for the enjoyment of killing or with a heart set on killing someone out of pure revenge. No righteous sense of justice may be able to use these Curses without them being under-powered or backfire. Thus a mere student cannot truly use the full potential of any Curse unless they are highly skilled and/or have the pure intent of killing/torturing/controlling someone without any remorse. It is illegal to use unforgivable curses on humans.
Another note on Unforgivable Curses: At this point, Aurors are the only legal users for these three curses due to their task in hunting down the last of the Death Eaters. Outside of that class, anyone who uses it; both Dark and Good Wizard, will be immediately sent to Azkaban after a quick trial. It is impossible to escape or be innocent in the case of using an Unforgivable Curse; whether it succeeds or not. It is known that the Ministry may pardon an unauthorized user in the Unforgivable Curses, but it is very rare.
