Re: Sectumsempra

Look, guys, I already have a spell list written up, with latin incantations for the spells that didn't have incantations in canon. I've been RPing this stuff on the strictest site you can imagine for the last 7 years, so it would take me maybe fourty minutes to add some descriptions.

If you wanted, I could also add some original stuff for dealing with the more powerful characters we have here on PA.

Okay that's a pretty lot of information i got there i hope i'll cover majority of your arguments. Sectusempra was invented by Severus Snape in time he yet wasn't Voldermort's follower (if that;s relevant) so i wouldn't excatly name it a dark spell (even though it is).

And it stopped being secret once Wilson started teaching it on NEWT classes if i might add. I agree that Basic students shouldn't excatly be able to flick with it around even though they do. And no Sectumsempra is not healed with Episkey it needs professional healers to heal it. So whoever healed sectumsempra with Episkey needs to have a serious warning.

Yeah but can there be any rule against it? Because during the battle of Grimmauld place, a lot of people were just throwing it around like there was no problem. And it seems a little unfair that if we get hit, we can't do anything about it.

Well you report it to someone if you think they are not dueling realisticly after all that's what we are here for. But you do NOT cure sectumsempra hit with a simple Episkey.

I know I'm just saying xD. Would the healing thing in the magical abilites count? Just a thought

by Mariana Diggory Mon Jul 12, 2010 11:13 pm

That's now what i had in mind, And you might forget that exsists if you are not a professional healer. There's a spell for healing Sectumsempra ofcourse, but still not everyone is able to use it.

I actually don't think the problem is just with that spell. I think there are problems with the way most of the darks spells are being RPed, both by the people casting them and the people defending against them.

The members don't know what the spells do.
They saw the movies and didn't read the books and they think the spell does what it does in the movies (Ever seen Stupefy in the movies )
They are just unrealistic.

Besides, no one should even KNOW this spell in the first place. Its a secret spell.

Dude things happen and I have read all the books and seen all movies I like books better and I know every spell potion hex and curse there is

I know what the spells do and stuff and how severe they are. So much so that even though I knew this, I played along with everyone else's careless use of these spells and inaccuracies just so I would stand a fairer chance in the battle (I still didn't).

It would be better if you would leave the education of the healers to me. Its been somewhat of a vague area on this site, and I'm working at making it better. Please just wait on warnings and being judgemental w/ the healers and leave that to me.

Thanks.
