This is our detailed guide for innate as well as learned magical abilities plus differing races here at SMA. When applying for such abilities or races, please be realistic in how your character obtains this ability, or how it relates to their family. You will not be looked down upon for applying for a learned ability, and in character fail to obtain that ability. It will be more common for failures than accomplishments. If anything it will help your character grow, and there's nothing wrong with trying, failing, then trying again later on.
All of these abilities require more thoughtful posts than usual in character, and are more likely to be approved to competent writers.
(NON-VERBAL MAGIC---)
A nonverbal spell is a spell which is performed without saying the incantation out loud. Performing spells nonverbally is very difficult and requires a good deal of practice, as it requires concentration and mental discipline. Non-verbal magic will be a requirement for all students entering their sixth year (final year), and as such will be taught to students in their fifth year.
(ANIGUISE---)
An Aniguise is a Wereanimal that can transform into their designated animal form at will, utilizing non-verbal magic paired with natural chemistry treatment. It is a learned skill that is extremely difficult to get right and very easy to go horribly wrong.
As we know, there will be quite a few students and/or professors wanting this ability so there will be a tab on the amount of students who will learn this. In coming to SMA as a student, you will only be able to learn this here, and not arrive with it as a skill. There will only be 5 students who will learn the skill in total, and 1 professor with the skill already learned (the Morphology professor). In applying for Aniguise status, the character must be clearly thought out, and the animal must match the character (the animal must be approved by the principal in relevance) in essence and markings. The animal options are werewolf, werebear, and werecougar most commonly.
(ELEMENTAL MAGIC---)
Elemental magic is the control and production of the elements Water, Fire, Air and Earth. It is a learned ability, and is one of the toughest abilities to acquire. Only one element can be controlled by one person. Non-magic-practicing wixen find themselves relatively sound at this ability, and magic-practicing wixen find it extremely difficult.
This ability section will be keeping with the plot coming up, but there will be 6 approved raw elementals, meaning the character will be called 'Fire' and will be the creature of the said element, millions of years old. Then there will be a few approved students and/or professors who find themselves learning this ability. We will put up a thread with far more detail than this as soon as possible.
As for the races, it's being labeled as a sort of free-for-all, meaning you can send me what you'd like to be, I can tell you if SMA has what you're looking for, and, if not, you can talk it out with me. I'll also update this list if any more races crop up.
The basic races local to SMA to choose from are:
Wereanimals
Vampires
Merpeople
Centaurs
Sprites
Ghosts
Just make sure to message me, Principal Avau, if you want to be any sort of race and I will get back to you ASAP. The requirements for a creature character are that VP Ahmed and I require a short length of time to observe your writing (so, then, we suggest creating a student first or, if bent on a creature, sending us a sample post as your character) and then we can make a decision.
Below are: a list of active creatures & descriptions of each creature in SMA's canon.
Thank you much and happy creating!
