Warden: Difference between revisions

=== Training ===

Only a small percentage of wizards and witches can become Wardens, as it requires great talent and skill. The training to become a Warden is known to be incredibly demanding and rigorous, requiring years of intense study and practice. Prospective wardens are usually required to have graduated from a magic school, but some may begin preliminary training as young as 16. The training covers a wide range of skills, including identifying and dispelling curses, recognizing and fighting dark magic, tracking and retrieving dangerous magical artifacts and creatures, and identifying and mitigating threats to the secrecy of the magical community. In addition to classroom studies, Wardens are required to undergo practical training and apprenticeships with experienced Wardens to develop their skills in the field. Due to the dangerous nature of their work, wardens are trained in combat and defense as well. Despite the high regard in which they are held by the wizarding community, Wardens often face great peril and may suffer life-threatening or permanent injuries, or even loose their lives in the course of fulfilling their duties.
