I read that a person gains one possible skill per year, but what is the limit of skills a person can acquire? For example, if they complete 10 years on the site, will they be entitled to 10 new skills in those 10 years?

Hi Harry!

I believe you get one for every year you graduate. So for my first year I get 1 ability, for my second year I get one ability, for my third year I get one ability, and so on. I believe even being adult has years, so for adult year 1 you can get an ability, for adult year 2 you get an ability, and so on.

You can see the special abilities for a human here, and you can fill the form and sign up here.

As Julia said, you get an ability slot each year until graduation. However, if you choose a special race, you only get one in year 2, year 4, and year 6, as you already get the abilities for the special race in years 1, 3, 5 and 7. Once you graduate, the system changes, as you have more choice in what you claim for your character but are limited to less advancement each year. Here is the adult system for statistics and abilities.

But I wouldn't worry about that yet, for now just focus on getting indexed and go from there! Do remember that your character can only become a special race during the indexing process + within 30 days of registration, after which this is not possible anymore (as this affects your character a lot for roleplays, it wouldn't be convenient to allow more tenured players to claim a special race).

Oh, and one more thing to keep in mind when choosing your special abilities is that many also have an affect in sports: Duelling | Quidditch | Broom Racing

@Harry Branddor I hope this helps!

Thanks girls, that cleared things up a lot!
