just writing here because i'm interested in creating a dnd 5e based campaign based on this very nice adaptations: https://www.gmbinder.com/share/-LsXE64qLDdLgBczM2kA#p10 below will be the list of resources, guides, theory on how this version of how Pottermore will work: [hider=Law]Law/trial not much to change. The dissertation of trials can be found through this link, where the author discuss the potential trialing process. otherwise, review Britain's rule, a few politics of the era, consult the rules of 1880-1930s, and determine case by case. [/hider] [hider=Politics]Politics + History it is always unclear to me how the politics of the wizarding world never seems to be impacted by the muggle world, despite their size vs ours. How does the cold war mentality impact the Britain muggle students? The very recent collapse of the Berlin Wall to the muggle born? How do they elect? There were attempts to reveal themselves to muggle worlds, what happens to them now? Their stances on human technological advancement? Given, there are two instances in which I recall where muggle born actually affects the Wizard World. One is the Salem witch trial, the other is the attacks in New york. But how about the entire world? Merlin and Arthur. Baba Yaga. Naga. Hecate... These figures have a strong influence in mythology, what happen to them? Did they just lost in translation, lost through times, or a combination of both? Moreover, due to the perspective being limited to Harry Potter, a boy in England, the scale of the wizard war can be overblown when put into perspective. For example, Hogwarts, across its 7 years of teaching Harry Potter, has no more than 1200 students. Thus, give or take, with the wildest amount of imagination, the population of entire Britain's wizards is no more than 10000 (JK said its 3000 so I'm being insane with this approximation). Given, there may be muggle-born wizards out there with magic talent so insignificant that it is nothing more than a small breeze or a bent spoon after 1 hour of concentration. But yeah. Shouldn't such a population be easily impacted by outsider politics? They walked on a road built by muggle. Probably wear normal clothes made by muggle? Like what makes them impervious to outside influences? [/hider] [hider=Our Real World]Our real world An amalgamation of fallout and real world. Phones are suitcase size, 3 tons heavy. Power armor suit doesn't exist, but flying robot that does your house do. Analog and digital computers are coexisting, with digital computers gaining grounds. But the tech different between the two is mainly around portable. Most of our known world right now still haven't discover fusion yet, fission is a thing. At the time the story take place (1940), ww2 is a thing. [/hider] [hider=Spell Creation]Spell Creation why Latin? There exist older languages, why Latin? Did the Romans discover magic first? Maybe has something to do with the first wands but how about those in China or India? Heck, even in contemporary Japan? They have a magic school over there. What is the casting process? In Latin? And how do you create a new spell? I can't recall JK even showing how the process of new spells is being created. Does creating an unwanted effect through incorrect pronunciation count? Guide: spells creation dnd + path + talk with the player [hider=Creation]Creation Completely creating a new spell, with an intending effect, as well as consistency. Required a few years of experiments for 1-3 level spells(No less than 1 month). 4-10 in 4-6 level spells (No less than 3 years). 20-60 for 7-8 level spells. (No less than 8 years). 100+ years + feats for 9th level spells( Can't be circumvent)[/hider] [hider=Improvement]Improvement In this world a spell equation would be like this: desired effect + effect duration = spell type + material(if needed) + visual/movement(if required) + time/location + preparation/casting time For example: [/hider]
