GURPS Harry Potter
Part 3 of 5
[Editor's Note: This article was so long and so
well written, that we decided to break it up into five parts. All
five have been completed, and you'll see the next three sections over the
next year.]
Chapter 5 - Restrictions & Changes to GURPS Spells
Because of the changes to the standard GURPS colleges
of magic, some spells are unavailable or are restricted in some way.
Description of Status Abbreviations
A -- The spell is a White Art and can be learned from any
common source.
D -- The spell is Dark Art. Its use is highly restricted,
probably illegal and considered socially unacceptable. A D spell with an
asterisk after it is considered “unforgivable.”
G -- The spell is Gray Art. Its use is restricted,
possibly illegal, and/or considered impolite in certain situations.
H -- The spell is taught (or can be learned) at Hogwarts
School.
K -- The spell is a Divination spell and requires the
Divination Talent.
L -- The spell has legal restrictions associated with it,
but is otherwise commonly available.
No -- The spell is not available.
R -- The spell is Rare. It is not commonly taught and can’t
be learned from commonly-available spell books.
S -- The spell is Secret or Unknown. If the GM rules that
the spell is available at all, it is known to only a few mages who keep
their knowledge private.
