Karma
When you do something good you are rewarded Karma points. If you are a good person and bad things happen to you, Karma points are awarded. If a good thing happens to a good person, their Karma is unaffected. When a good person does something bad however, their Karma will drop. Let me give you an example.
A boy's parents are killed by a psychopathic murder, definite Karma bonus. He is sent to his aunt and uncles house, who hate him. More Karma is awarded. He is then beaten, insulted, and treated like a slave for the next ten years. That's a huge Karma bonus. He is nice and polite to every one. Karma bonus. He inherits a boatload of gold, no change in Karma.
He goes to a school for the gifted. He then goes through a series of trials and then prevents the fore mentioned psychopath from gaining immortality. Another large Karma bonus. A servant of the enemy tries to protect him. No Karma change. Protections include stealing mail, trying to get him expelled from school, keeping him from getting to school, and hurling large metal balls at him. There's a Karma bonus. Everyone turns on him and proclaims he's a psychopath. Another Karma boost. He kills a snake one hundred times his size with a sword, in order to save a fellow class mate. Major Karma bonus.
He is attacked by soul suckers twice, a giant lizard, the psychopath twice, the psychopaths followers, a bunch of mutated fish, within the next three years. Colossal karma bonus. Oh and his godfathers murdered in front of his eyes. More Karma.
There are a few things you have to know about Karma. The Karma a wizard or witch accumulates before their sixteenth birthday is absorbed and assimilated into their bodies. It then manifests as gifts and talents, such as a skill in charms, greater muscle growth rate, or greater intelligence. You must remember that most people only have a few small Karma bonuses. The total is about one hundred Karma points. The example above, however, achieves that on a almost daily basis. So what happens when you have a hundred billion Karma points? Meet Harry Potter the Karmanator.
