Without Wands Options

[GryfindorDrew]

I was sitting reading one of the post when a question came to me. I forgot the term so i need an answer! What is the term for a wizard who can perform magic without his wand? I know Dumbledore and Voldemort are these. But I cant remember the term. Please give me an answer

[MELIMUSH]

A term??? :huh: Tthey just do wandless magic... i dont think they haave a name... but maybe im wrong, dunno... sorry!

All wizards can do basic magic when the are angry or scared. It is just never going to be in a controled form.

[GryfindorDrew]

I understand that they can just do i when they are angry or scared. But Like Dumbledore and Voldemort they can do it without having to have those feelings. But yes there is a term and i cannot remember it. I read it one bokk i was reading. Not the HP books. Just another wizard book. But i know that dumbledore and Voldemort are one of these. :badptr: dangit what is it? :angry: hmmmm :irked:

DD and Voldemort can do wandless magic because they are more powerful than most of the other wizards....that's what I think at least...just like the older wizards can do spells without speaking them, using only there wands...it is because they are more powerful than kids

[sweetsixteen]

ay? i thought they used wands, I recall Harry not useing his wand a couple of times, but JK said that Witches and Wizards can do spells that dont require much concentration with out their wands.

I dont recall a term, and i know the books inside out! :bigeyes:

[GryfindorDrew]

I understand the fact that they are much more powerfull than the kids. But this is sort of like a power thing. Like what is the name of the power for wizards who can do wandless magic. I understand that DD and Voldemort are really powerfull. No the term is not in the HP books. It was in one of the serperate books. Like history of magic. A book like that. You can by those ooks in Barnes and Nobles and other stores. I just cant remember what book it was in. And what that skill is called to be able to do wandless magic! :badptr: :badptr: :badptr: :badptr:

It may have been an unofficial book you read it in.

[GryfindorDrew]

That may be so. Oh well. Maybe it will just come across my mind. Thanks for the help any more comments can still come ill keep checking!

According to another forum where there is a whole thread dedicated to the subject of Elemental Magic;
Magid - is a term used for a very powerful wizard that can preform magic without a wand.
Hope that helps.

I dont think JKR has ever stated that these particular wizards have a name. But being the fantasy Live Role Player that I am, the terms often used are Mind Mages, Wizards of the Mind, and so on..... not to be confused with Mental Mages or Mental Magic which is a particular branch that has mental effects. Such would be the Imperius Curse or anything that has a mental effect. The fact remains that Dumbledore is very much capable of performing quite complicated spells without the use of a wand. Apparating is just one. The little trick he does when he turns and with a wirl of his cape he dissappears and reappears behind Voldemort. The animagus is able to turn into an animal without the use of a wand. There are several examples..... Also there might be magic which is ritual based and take along time to perform. The spell Voldemort uses to gain his body back is a ritual. Certain things done in a certain way. The right ingredients added in the right order followed by a rite. This is a ritual.... the Fidelius Charm sounds alot like a ritual also.

Magrid. Thats it Magrid thanks a whole lot!!!! Magris i got to keep that in my head!!!

[cruticus]

is that a term that means a wizard without a wand? i dont think there is a term but with hagrid, do you think maybe his half broken wand is in his umbrella? just a theory

[GryfindorDrew]

It dosent mean they are a wizard without a wand. Its just thats the term for a wizard who can perform wandless magic!!
