Charms - A charm is the chanting or reciting of a magic spell, incantation, a practice or expression believed to have magic power; it can also be an amulet, talisman, pendant, or something worn about the person for example to ward off evil or ensure good fortun. Amulets and talismans take on the charm/spell that is bespoken upon them. At Hogwarts, a charm is a spell that adds certain properties to an object or individual.

Flying Lesson/Altered States There are many ways of flying, and not all of them are on a broomstick. GCSPM dives deeply into the alternate routes done with magic and training: altered states. As at Hogwarts, the course aims towards providing students with a basic understanding of the most elementary principles behind the study of altered states, the how-to and progressively work on various techniques and maneuvers performed while in "flight", as well as receiving proper instructions.

Herbology is the study of herbs reflecting the importance of plants to magic, medicine, and herbal practicality. This course runs parallel to that studied at Hogwarts. Students learn to identify, care for and learn about the magical properties of herbs and what they are used for. Many plants provide ingredients for potions and medicine, while others have magical effects of their own right.

Higher Allies & Apparitions is a course we have added to GCSPM that may not have had a direct course of study at Hogwarts, but certainly makes its presence. There are so many allies in other dimensions that are glad to assist us, we felt all magically-inclined folks should get to know how to tap into them.

Transfiguration is a branch of magic at Hogwarts that focuses on the alteration of the form or appearance of an object or human via the alteration of the molecular structure. At GCSPM we refer to this type of magic as shapeshifting. Shapeshifting a term more commonly used by shamans, is the transformation (mental or physical) of one's self into an animal. Shapeshifting, also called transformation, transmogrification, or metamorphosis, refers to a change in the form or shape of a person. There are two types of shapeshifting; changing your light body in the astral to power animal, and changing your physical form on the earth plane into an animal. Certain shamans are said to be very adept at shapeshifting, and during certain ritual dances, they can be possessed by the animal spirit. Although they outwardly do not become the animal, their body may contort or move in the fashion that the animal is most comfortable. Vocalizations are also heard, such as the cry of the Eagle, scream of the Falcon, etc.
