But let's aim a Lumos at our character's special abilities, and show them in action. Seers, Animagi, Metamorphmagi, Occlumens, Legelimens, Werewolves, Vampires, part-Goblins, weirdos of all shapes and sizes - use your odd-ballery and write it loud!Simply stated, write posts that show your character using your special ability or special talent.This is an Absit Omen role-playing challenge! From time to time, we'll call upon you movers and shakers to direct your substantial imaginations towards some type of in-character challenge. Take the prompting and incorporate it into plots or threads new or old. Then, when you've accomplished this lofty task, respond to this thread with the fruits of your labors! A link, a quote, and a few words on how it went. Naturally optional, no prizes - just grit and glory! Skip to next post Re: CHALLENGE: Use It Or Lose It? Reply #1 on October 18, 2011, 06:25:16 PM The only one that officially has an ability is Dotty (Casey won't start Occlumency till September) so you can expect a "squirrel Dotty" post real soon!
