Ghosts & wand magic

Hi again,

I was just wondering whether ghosts would be able to perform wand magic? As in 'lumos' or the Patronus charm, etc., if they had their wand with them?

Thanks xx

From what I have read about HP ghost lore and what i've discussed with admins as far as my character goes, the answer is no ^^

Of course and admin can always come in and correct me

As far as I am aware, Merids is right. Based on the facts that 1) ghosts are not corporeal, so creating something like a spell would go against they, and 2) they are not susceptible to wand magic(that's just poltergeists right?) so that I believe would eliminate them being able to create it as well.

Just as a note, Oz's sheet ^^^ is an awesome example to look at one take on making a ghost playable within a (mostly) human RPG.

Okay, thanks!

*another question not worth its own topic*

do ghosts have there own 'special' type of magic?

Not really. They mostly create disturbances within water, temp, etc. Otherwise they have little interaction, physically, with the world. What are you thinking about in particular?

I was just thinking about what kind of stuff Eillyn (my WIP) will be able to do. I had an idea that she's tries to continue going to lessons, even though she's a ghost, and then she has a strop when she wouldn't be able to do anything :/

can thy go stuff like make doors slam shut, and windows rattle, etc., like it ghost stories?

The slamming doors thing is more for poltergeists. Eillyn could try making friends with Peeves? xD

And my WIP Aylanmaa is going to do something similar, try to finish her Mediwitch studies and then get a theoretical-type job despite being a ghost, so she things going to lessons is very sensible. I suppose Eillyn could get an OWL in history of magic because that's totally theoretical xD

Linnet's squib grandmother got an OWL in wizard literature 2 years ago whilst Linnet was at BB. It's her only wizarding qualification and Linnet says "don't knock my grandma! She's cool!" xD

"But I didn't say anything about your grandma" *sticks tongue out at*

She's just realised that she wont be able to take the exam, because she wont be able to hold a pen....

Aww, he's trying to make the little ghost feel better...

Sorry for jumping in here, but just food for thought: The  Ministry of Magic managed to force Moaning Myrtle to be at Hogwarts after she hunted her old school bully, so I guess ghosts are affected by some kinds of spells. Unless, of course, she simply heeded a  request from the Spirit Division in the Ministry or something?
