At the start of each school year after the first, you gain
an Advance. This means you can increase an attribute by
one die type, increase by one die type two skills that are
below their parent attributes, or increase by one die type
a single skill that is equal to or greater than its parent
attribute.

Concept
Write down the broad strokes of who your character is.
This should help guide your other choices during
character creation.

Oh,andwhatsyour
Name
,child?Here,trythis
wand.Nevermind,toowhippy!

Defenses
You have three defenses: Dodge, Toughness, and
Willpower.
Your Dodge equals 2 + your Agility die or 2 + your
Wits die, whichever is higher. For example, a character
with a d8 Agility and d6 Wits has Dodge 6. Dodge is your
ability to get out of the way of incoming spells and other
ranged attacks.
Your Toughness equals 2 + your Forces die.
Toughness is how much damage you can take without
becoming Shaken.
Your Willpower equals 2 + your Intellect die or 2 +
your Spirit die, whichever is higher. Willpower is your
resistance to bodily magical effects.

Name
Your character needs a name! Wizards and witches can
have fantastical names, and they often use alliteration.
Examples include Minerva McGonagal, Luna Lovegood,
and Vidad Treepens. Muggleborn characters tend to
have more regular sounding names.

Wand
Your wand is your focus for magic. Each wand is
comprised of a type of wood and a magical core. Each
wood and core provides a different bonus. See the
Wands section for details.

Equipment
House
Each first-year student is assigned to one of the four
Houses in Hogwarts. They are Gryffindor, Ravenclaw,
Hufflepuff, and Slytherin. Gryffindors are known for their
bravery. Ravenclaws are the cleverest of the bunch.
Hufflepuffs strive for fairness and loyalty. And Slytherins
prize ambition and excellence above all else.

In addition to your wand, you begin play with one other

item of your choice. This could be a good broom (+1 to
Fly
), a loyal pet (cat, toad, owl, etc.), or even something
stranger. Consult with the Headmaster to make sure
your choice wont break the game!

A
TTRIBUTES
Agility
is your wizards nimbleness, quickness, and
dexterity.
Force

is your wizards ability to focus his physical power

and metaphysical energies.
Intellect

is your wizards ability to learn and recall

information.
Spirit

reflects your wizards willpower and charisma. It

also helps your character recover from being Shaken.
Wits

is your wizards ability to think quickly on his feet.

S
KILLS
Athletics [Agility]
Athletics is a wizards ability to run, jump, climb, throw,
and catch. The Headmaster will set an appropriate
difficulty for obstacles that may be in your path. If youre
racing an opponent, simply make opposed rolls. If youre
throwing something at a target, roll against the targets
Dodge.
Bluff [Wits]
Bluff is a wizards skill at fast-talking and lying, as well as
your ability to pick up on such attempts that are directed at
you. You can also use this to taunt by engaging in a Test of
Wills with your target.
Care of Magical Creatures [Spirit]
With Care of Magical Creatures, a wizard can properly
care for and interact with a wide variety of magical fauna.
Always be cautious, however, as some are likely to bite!
Charms [Wits]
Charms is a wizards proficiency with spells that alter the
behavior of a target. These spells can make a feather float,
confuse a bothersome wizard, and much more.
Curses [Force]
Curses is a wizards proficiency with offensive magic.
These spells directly damage or hinder their targets, and as
a result, they must be wielded responsibly.

Defense Against the Dark Arts [Spirit]

Use Defense Against the Dark Arts to protect yourself and
others from harmful magics. Its useful for conjuring shields
and other, more subtle magical deterrents.
Herbology [Intellect]
Herbology is the study of magical flora. With this skill, you
can properly identify and nurture such plants.
Fly [Agility]
Fly allows a character to control brooms and winged
mounts. When making a skill test while flying, characters
use the lower of the skill they are testing and their
Fly.
Lore [Intellect]
Lore is a wizards general knowledge of the wizarding
world, as well as its legends and histories. While a
Muggleborn wizard may start with a low Lore, some are
fascinated by their new surroundings and actually surpass
their wizardborn peers in this field.
Might [Force]
Might is a wizards proficiency at performing feats of
strength. He may be physically bulky, or perhaps hes just
stubborn and knows how to lift and push. Use might
whenever you need to shove through a crowded hallway,
break down a door, or lift a heavy load.
Muggle Dueling [Force]
How barbaric! Muggle Dueling covers all melee attacks,
whether its with fists, swords, or even a wand! The TN to
hit an opponent is his Parry (2 plus half his Agility).
Persuasion [Spirit]
Persuasion is the ability to convince others to do what you
want them to do, either through kindness or flat-out
intimidation.
Nonplayer characters start at one of five different
attitudes: Hostile, Uncooperative, Neutral, Friendly, or
Helpful. A successful Persuasion roll (when youre being
nice) improves the characters attitude one step, or two
with a raise. Failure, on the other hand, decreases the
characters attitude by a step, or two if a 1 is rolled on the
Persuasion die (regardless of the Wild Die). Most characters
wont change their reaction more than one or two levels
during a single exchange, but thats entirely up to the
Headmaster and the situation.
If youre intimidating your target, then its a Test of Wills.

Potions [Intellect]
Potions is a wizards talent at brewing magical potions.
Potion-making is a time-consuming and complicated
process, but it can produce powerful results.
For more information, see the Potions section below.
Prank [Wits]
Prank is a wizards ability to pull hilarious jokes on
classmates and teachers, as well as feats of legerdemain.
Whenever you want to slip a magical popper into
someones pocket or whip up a truly obnoxious device, use
this skill.
Sneak & Spy [Agility]
Use Sneak & Spy to move around unseen and eavesdrop
on others! If the targets arent actively watching for
intruders, then a character only needs a standard success
to avoid being seen. Otherwise, the targets oppose the
Sneak & Spy roll with their Wits. Darkness and cover
provide bonuses to Sneak & Spy, while moving quickly can
impose a penalty.
Transfiguration [Intellect]
Transfiguration is a wizards proficiency with spells that
alter the physical properties of a target. These spells can
change a teacup into a mouse or even summon a cushy
chair from thin air.

E
DGES AND
H
INDRANCES
While you may find the Edges and Hindrances in the
Savage Worlds core book suitable for your witch or wizard,
here are some special ones that might add that extra dash
of magic.
Seer
With this Edge, you have the rare power of true
Divination. At the Headmasters discretion, you have visions
of potential future events. You can spend a bennie to use
this power willingly. When doing so, you should tell the
Headmaster what kind of information you seek. Then, the
Headmaster may describe to you a vision or words of
prophecy. However, the information may be vague or
couched in metaphor, so while it should help to point you
forward in your adventure, it may not tell you everything
you want to know!

Parselmouth
You speak Parseltongue, the language of snakes. Most
wizards with this power are born with it, but it could
possibly be gained through intense study and practice. You
can converse with snakes and command them to perform
any task that they could reasonably accomplish. Note that
Parselmouths are stereotyped as dark wizards, even
though this isnt always the case.
Apparation
Learned during a wizards sixth year at Hogwarts,
Apparation is the powerful ability to teleport at will to any
place one has been before. Even though all students gain at
least some proficiency with Apparation, only some go on to
truly master it and gain a license once they turn seventeen.
(Thus, this Edge should be taken at the start of the seventh
year for those wizards who wish to acquire it). Many
wizards prefer to travel by broom, portkeys, or the Floo
Network to avoid the dangers associated with Apparation.
To Apparate, a wizard must have a clear mind, a focused
mental image of his destination, and a wand in hand. To do
this, make an Intellect roll, with the TN set by your
familiarity of the destination, as follows:
Very Familiar = 2 (home/work, can currently see
destination)
Somewhat Familiar = 4 (a repeat vacation spot, a common
place in town)
Not Familiar = 6 (visited briefly a couple times)
If you fail, you end up in a location similar to but distant
from your target.
If you fail, and your Intellect die is a 1, then you splinch!
When you splinch, you leave some of your body in one
place while Apparating the rest elsewhere. This is usually
not fatal, though immediate magical healing is often
necessary. Until someone puts you back together, you are
Shaken, in addition to possibly missing limbs and organs.

OTIONS
(Need potion rules - consider total successes required, with each roll equaling a certain time interval of work and brewing.
Chosen potion effects determine total time required and complexity, which may be an imposed penalty to each roll. When
the potion is quaffed, the drinker gains its properties. Consider having the GM make the potion rolls so that the brewer
doesnt know what the final effect will be.)

10

Q
UIDDITCH
Dummy rules:
All skill rolls use the listed skill or Fly, whichever is lower.
1. At the start of the game, the lead Chaser on each team rolls Athletics to grab the Quaffle first.
2. Each round, the lead Beaters on each team roll Muggle Dueling to take control of a Bludger and send it sailing
toward an intended target. Whoever rolls higher applies his roll as a penalty to his targets next roll. On a tie,
neither Beater gets enough control to attack a target, so no penalties apply.
3. The Chaser in possession of the Quaffle makes an Athletics roll to shoot. This is opposed by the enemy Keepers
Athletics. If the Chaser wins, his team scores 10 points. (Optional: Multiply points scored by Chasers by 3 to
simulate more game in less time and to make Chaser-scored points actually valuable).
4. Both Seekers roll Sneak & Spy to scout out for the Snitch. This is an extended test with a high TN and should take
multiple rounds. Once the snitch is found, whoever spotted it first rolls Fly to chase it. This is again an extended
test, but with a much lower TN. The other Seeker can join the chase in the following round, rolling Fly as well. Once
one of the Seekers catches up to the Snitch, he must roll Athletics to grab it. Whoever obtains the Snitch gets 150
points for his team, and the game ends.
5. Start over at step 2 each round unless the Snitch is caught.

personal items. Anything picked up after the power was
cast remains visible.

13

Episkey [Transfiguration]
Penalty: variable
Close
Duration: Instant
Each use of the this spell removes a wound with a
success, two with a raise. The roll suffers a penalty equal

might be suffering himself).
For NPCs, a successful Transfiguration skill roll returns

Engorgio [Transfiguration]
Penalty: -1+
Close
Duration: 3
Engorgio doubles the overall size of the target. The
subject gains +1 Size for each -1 penalty taken when the
spell is cast. Each step of Size grants the target a one-step
increase to Force and a point of Toughness. This spell
may be cast multiple times on the same target, but only
the most powerful casting has an effect.
If the target is unwilling, the TN is equal to the targets
Willpower.

targets Force.

Finite Incantatum [Defense Against the Dark Arts]

Penalty: -1
Ranged
Duration: Instant
Finite Incantatum allows a wizard to negate enemy
spells. It has no effect on innate powers, such as a
dragons breath or a boggarts shapeshifting. Neither
does it work on more powerful magic items or
permanent enchantments unless the specific item or
enchantment says otherwise.
This spell can be used against magic already in effect or
to counter an enemy spell as its being used. The latter
requires the countering wizard to be on Hold and
interrupt his foes action as usual. In either case,
dispelling the opponents magic is an opposed roll of
appropriate spellcasting skills.
Immobulus [Curses]
Penalty: ?
Ranged
Duration: ?
Freezes a target or a group of targets, preventing them
from moving or taking actions.
Impedimenta [Curses]
Penalty: 0

gain complete control. The victim will do whatever they
are commanded, even attack friends. However, extreme
commands may allow the victim an Intellect roll to break
the spell.

14

Inanimatus Conjurus [Transfiguration]

Penalty: -1 to -3
Close
Duration: Instant
Summons an object from another location or
dimension. Larger objects require a larger penalty.
Incarcerus [Transfiguration]
Penalty: -1 to -2
Ranged
Duration: Instant
This spell summons ropes or chains to bind a target.
The casters Transfiguration roll must beat the targets
Dodge. Success indicates partial restraint so that the
target moves at half speed and suffers a 2 penalty to
skills linked to Agility, Force, and spellcasting. A raise
restrains the target fully. He cannot move, cast spells, or
use any skills linked to Agility or Force.
Each following round, a bound target may make a Force
(and Might) or Agility roll to break free, with a TN equal to
your initial Transfiguration roll. Other characters may
also attempt to free the bound person by making a Force
(Might) roll at 2.
For a -1 penalty, Incarcerus targets a single opponent.
For a -2, it affects a small group of nearby opponents.
When targeting multiple opponents, compare your
Transfiguration roll to each targets Dodge. Some of the
targets may avoid the spell while others do not.
Legilimens [Charms]
Penalty: -3
Close
Duration: 1 round
Legilimens allows a character to read anothers
thoughts. The TN is equal to the targets Willpower. A
success allows the character to gain one truthful answer
from the subject, while a raise produces two answers.
The target is always aware of the mental intrusion. The
Headmaster may apply modifiers based on the subjects
mental Hindrances or current state of mind.

Mobiliarbus [Charms]
Penalty: -2
Ranged
Duration: 3 rounds
With this spell, a wizard can easily move heavy loads.
The weight a wizard can lift is equal to 10 pounds times
his Spirit die type, 50 pounds times his Spirit with a
raise.
Lifting Creatures:

If targeting a living creature, the TN

is the targets Willpower. On a failure, the victim is
unaffected. On a success, however, it is lifted as usual
and does not get another attempt to break free, though
a clever spellcaster could disrupt the magic in other
ways. Occasionally a victim might manage to grab onto
something solid to prevent itself from being lifted. When
this happens, the victim may make an opposed Force
(Might) roll versus the casters Charms. If the victim is
successful, he manages to grab onto whatever was
available and is not moved, bashed, or otherwise
affected that round.
Locomotor Mortis [Curses]
Penalty: -1
Ranged
Duration: 2 rounds
Roll vs Dodge. On a hit and success, magically binds the
targets legs, preventing all movement and imposing a -1
penalty to all skill rolls.
Lumos [Transfiguration]
Penalty: 0
Close
Duration: 30 minutes
On a success, the casters wand tip ignites with pure
light. This negates darkness penalties at the
Headmasters discretion.

15

Lumos Maxima [Transfiguration]

Penalty: -1 to -3
Ranged
Duration: Instant
This spell temporarily blinds a target or targets with a
searing flash of light. Those affected must make a Wits
roll at 2 to avert their gaze and avoid the effect (at 4 if
the caster got a raise on the attack roll). On a failure,
victims are Shaken and at 2 to Parry and Dodge until
their next action. If the target rolls a 1 on his Wits die
(regardless of the Wild Die), hes Shaken and fully blind
until he recovers from being Shaken. Blinded victims
suffer a 6 penalty to all Trait rolls that require vision and
have their Parry and Dodge reduced to 2.
Additional Effects:

For a -1 penalty, the power affects a

single target. For a -2 penalty, the power affects a tight
group of targets. For a -3 penalty, it affects everyone
