[align=center][b][i]To use magic on KB, you [u]must[/u] sign up for a report. Please read this thread in its entirety for information.[/i][/b][/align]

In order to claim points that you can put towards different branches of magic, you must first apply for your own Report Card (student) or Employment Report (adult). Simply copy/paste the below form, fill it out then post your application in this thread. A member of the admin team will create your Report (you will be notified). A copy of the Willow's branch system will be placed in the first post of your character's Report. All options will be greyed out and will remain so unless purchased to allow you the ability to track your character's magical progression and what remains unmastered on the tree. This will be updated by an admin whenever you make a request for new purchases, which can be done at the end of each term.

For more information on the actual Willow system and what we have to offer, please read [post=471][b][u]this thread[/u][/b][/post].

[b]Things to keep in mind:[/b]
  • To advance as an adult in your career, [b]you [u]must[/u] claim at least 12ʛ, but no more than 28ʛ[/b].
  • Students do not have a minimum ʛ requirement to advance.
  • Threads are considered complete when you have either (a) 3 posts that contain 4 paragraphs and 4 sentences each, OR (b) 10 short posts.

[size=x-large]WIZARDING WORLD END OF YEAR BONUS[/size]

Your character can still earn points even after graduating or if you started them as post-Hogwarts graduates. Children under 11 do not qualify for MPS. Adults, on the other hand, are free to continue earning and spending on the Willow's branches. As well as being able to apply for salary bonuses here, your adult may complete the following checklist in order to earn galleons. In order for your character to be considered as having 'passed' the work year to qualify for the salary bonus, you [b]must accumulate at least 12ʛ[/b]. You do not need to earn this value, as your character will not be in danger of losing their employment; however, they will be unable to advance magically (unless they earn some galleons) and will not be able to qualify for the salary bonus. You can complete as many or as few as you'd like; however, there is a maximum earnable reward of 28ʛ that can be used toward Willow purchases:

[size=x-large]HOW MANY POINTS DO I GET?[/size]

Each new character is given a first-time allowance to begin their magical journey. This amount is dependent upon the character's school year/age (in the case of adults). Children below the age of entrance to Hogwarts are not allowed to apply for this allowance until they become of-age.

Once your Report has been created, you may use your opening balance to purchase branches of the tree. Here is how we determine how many points you will start off with:

[table style="width:100%; background:#f5f5f5;"]
[tr]
[td style="background:white;"][b]Students[/b][/td]
[td style="background:white;"][b]Adults[/b][/td]
[/tr]
[tr]
[td]Year 1 → 10ʛ

Year 2 → 15ʛ

Year 3 → 35ʛ

Year 4 → 50ʛ

Year 5 → 70ʛ

Year 6 → 90ʛ

Year 7 → 105ʛ[/td]
[td style="vertical-align:top;"]18 - 24 → 110ʛ

25 - 32 → 125ʛ

33 - 41 → 140ʛ

42 - 50+ → 150ʛ[/td]
[/tr][/table]

[hr]

[size=x-large]GOT IT. HOW DO I SIGN UP?[/size]

Initially, you will copy the form below and post it as a reply to this thread, with the appropriate information for your character. A thread will be created for you and a PM sent to confirm once this is done. At the end of each term, you may claim the above-mentioned points for the various activities, but must do so using the forms [thread=179][b][u]here[/u][/b][/thread]. These must be posted in the thread that has been created for you.
