First years and up may claims these talents, as they are with the child from birth.
Audiographic Memory -- The ability to remember everyconversation in exact detail without flaw.
Dream Premonitions -- To have dreams which become a reality eventually, though these dreams may not always be entirely true, and the exact time is unspecified in most dreams.
Empathy -- These people can detect peoples emotions at times, though they cannot read their thoughts exactly.
Invisibility -- The power to make yourself invisible to the human eye at any time, though it is unknown whether this works on all creatures.
Metamorphmagus -- Metamorphmagi can change their appearance at will.
Parselmouth -- The ability to converse with snakes, to be able to talk to them and understand them. This is a very rare ability, which usually only appears in Pure-Blooded wizards and witches.
Seer -- Another rare talent is called the inner eye, where the witch or wizard is able to forsee a prophecy.
Shadow Shifter -- A Shadow Shifter is the name for someone who can travel through the shadows at their own will, as long as there are shadows, however, the power is only sent from mother to child, the power cannot be inherited from the father.
Shape shifter -- Much like animagi, but is a born ability. A witch or wizard whom has this ability has a designated animal they can turn into from birth. As a baby, their animal could be a house cat and if they shape shift, they become a kitten. However, this talent is a genetic one that did not seem real until around 10 years ago; when by some magical accident more people became shape shifters. Even though the idea of shape shifting has a been around for ages, it had not appeared in the magical world until now.
Telepathy -- Communication from one mind to another. This is different than Legilimency (the ability to sense thoughts). With telepathy, you actually communicate with the person. It's a two-way process. You think something at another, and they think a message back. Also, telepaths are born, not made. You cannot learn telepathy. (Please keep in mind, that since it's a two-way process, communication can only happen between telepaths. So, non-telepaths cannot hear thoughts from telepaths.)
Only sixth and seventh years and adults can claim the following abilities, as it is very advanced magic.
Animagi -- The ability to change your form from human to some form of animal. This transformation is very complex and advanced and very few wizards attempt to do so.
Apparition -- At the age of 16, witches and wizards may larn to apparate, allowing them to move from one place to the other by focusing on their desired location.
Leglimens -- A Legilimens is a Wizard who has learned the art of Legilimency, sensing the thoughts of another person.
Magid -- The ability of wand-less magic, which is a very difficult task, only attempted by the most skilled of magic folk.
Occlumency -- The skill of Occlumency allows a person to block the efforts of a Legilimens to probe their thoughts and memories. A person who practiced that rare skill is called an Occlumens.
