Power Levels for Wizards and Witches

Omega- the highest level of power possible, and omegas always have a unique relationship with magic. It is said that "magic loves them" and thus allows them to oftentimes break what are thought to be fundamental magical laws. As a warning to others, magic brands them with a visible tattoo. It is thought that they are born when the balance between Light and Dark has failed. Examples include Merlin and Morgana La Fey.

Alpha- Roughly 5% of the magical population. Alphas are able to do high level spells within their specialties. The Lords for the Light, Grey, and the Dark Court are typically Alphas. Examples include the Founders, Nicholas Flamel, Albus Dumbledoor, and Tom Marvolo Riddle.

Beta- Roughly 20% of the magical population. Betas are able to cast some high level, and all mid level, spells. Many healers, spell crafters, aurors, etc are Beta level witches and wizards.

Theta- Roughly 75% of the magical population. Thetas tend to choose one specialty to concentrate their magic in. They can cast all lower spells, and some mid-level spells. If they focus within their specialty they may eventually reach Beta status for that one spell category.

Squibs- Born of magical parents but are unable to touch their magical cores. They can see and sense magic only.

Mundanes- Humans with no magical cores.

Bryony's Letter To The Daily Prophet

To The Wizarding World-

I am Bryony Cassia Potter, The Girl Who Lived and the one you used and betrayed. You are a society who was content to let a madman with a handful of followers rise to power instead of striking while Voldemort (stop cringing, he's dead and do you really fear the name of a dead man?) was still relatively weak. Nothing brings out the flaws in a society like war, and yet what changed after his first defeat? Nothing. You went back to your prejudiced lives content that if something should happen you had a certified hero that would save you.

I am Bryony Cassia Potter and I am no hero. I was an orphaned baby who was abandoned by the society into which I had been born and left on the doorstep of mundanes. Many have asked where I disappeared to during the decade before I was forced (yes, forced) to go to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Would it surprise you to know that for my earliest childhood I was a slave until I fought, and won, my freedom? Yes, slavery does still exist in the seedy underbelly of the mundane world just as it does in the wizarding world. Before you cry foul, I have just two words for you; House Elves.

I am Bryony Cassia Potter and I am no slave. My freedom was hard won and yet your beloved Headmaster and Minister found me and through an ancient cursed magical artifact bound me to Hogwarts as the "good of the many outweigh the good of the one". Would I have fought my parent's murderer without such compulsions? I do not know but I would have liked the choice. I had no family, no adults, to stand for me and your society was content to place the fate of its world on the shoulders of children and then decry the way we fought the war while you remained safe in your homes. The bindings would have killed me if I had not been an both an Artificer and Mage, and without the help of several older students.

I am Bryony Cassia Potter and I am no hero. I am no slave. I was a child forced into adulthood, only to then be pressed into fighting a war that you were to cowardly to face. I am an Omega Artificer and Mage and I. Am. Done. I have passed my OWLS, my NEWTS, become emancipated and taken my place in the House of Lords. I bow to no one and leave you to your fates. I will give you this one warning before I bid you adieu and go back to the life I led before I was pulled into your foolishness. The mundane world is quickly changing and soon those who have lived in the shadows will step into the light. The wizarding world is stagnant and dying and if you do not change, then your way of life will eventually end.

I am Bryony Cassia Potter and I am finally free. Take heed, wizarding world, for if any try and again bind me to their will I will bring forth such hell that it will make what I did to Voldemort seem like child's play.

You have been warned.

Bryony Cassia Potter
Omega Artificer and Mage
Lady of House Potter
