Forum:Wandless Magic

This vote is regarding the exotic status of wandless magic. It is taught at one of the major magic schools - Uagadou - as a regular way of preforming magic, not as one that is more advanced or difficult than magic with a wand. (See this article.) For someone raised on performing magic with a wand, wandless magic is going to be much more difficult, but for someone who comes from or studied at where wandless magic is still very prevalent, it's simply the status quo.

Wandless magic is only more convenient than wand magic in that if you lose your wand, you can still preform spells. Beyond that, there is no increase in power, and it could even be argued that except for someone very experienced, wandless magic would be less precise and not ideal for performing complex charms and transfiguration. (See this article.) The extra benefits to wandless magic are at most on par with the benefits to nonverbal magic, which is not an exotic ability.

Option One
Wandless magic stays an exotic ability.

Option Two
Wandless magic will no longer be an exotic ability, no questions asked.

Option Three
Wandless magic will no longer be an exotic ability, but like with exotic patronuses, there must be an explanation as to why/how they learned the skill, such as they studied at Uagadou or learned from someone who studied at Uagadou.
