Magical Inventions

What is the mod stance on inventing or trying new potions?
By this, I am not referring to prank curses or anything, but like dark potions and dark magic etc.

You'd have to come up with something and get it approved

[m_1512]

Exactly.

What I propose is that members can try concocting Dark potions, and advanced Dark magic. The mods will then decide on the result based on rolls. Something similar like RPs like Headmaster's hunt etc.

Yep but please provide a list of potions or at least the effects of the ingredients and a list of dark spells.

[Pontifex Maximus]

I won't be approving of any spells formed by anyone with less than 75 proficiency in the respective category. And I don't like rolls for this, no use putting stuff like that up to chance.

[Pontifex Maximus]

And the potions/spells aren't limited to only being dark magic.

Yes I only asked for the dark ones we have lists for the rest.

[Pontifex Maximus]

A lot of the spells on the list are dark spells...

There would be such a thing. For example, the potion book Moste Potent Potions is featured in books, but only Polyjuice potion is explained. There would loads of such in the restricted section, curses, potions, spells etc. What about the rest?
You have to be creative in that regard. The same applies for Non-dark potions.

I agree with the roll thing what you say.
But would any attempt to invent a spell or potion backfire when done by a rookie?


So, now that rolls cancelled, the mods can play along the RP just like individual questions and experiments.
What do you think?

[Pontifex Maximus]

It depends on the spell or potion. If you're in over your head there could be consequences

So we can improvise? I mean try to make potions that are not on the list but only with the moderator doing success rolls?

Really you should have some end goal in mind. Throwing a bunch of ingredients into a bowl is a good way to blow yourself up. You should RP something believable and genuine to get the desired results. If someone just RPs that he walks into the forest, grabs some plants, and throws them into a boiling cauldron I'm going to be tempted to kill that character off in a fiery explosion.

Of course. You should probably put that in the announcements.
