Job Title:
Charms Developer

Employment Date:
October 2093

Job Description:
Development employees are responsible for the safe and structured expansion of charms known to the Wizarding World. While all advanced planning and administration is carried out in their cubicles, employees are required to practice their charms in the room set aside for them. Upon completion, employees must demonstrate the use of their proposed charm to a panel. Employees may, from time to time, receive a description of an unknown and unpatented charm used at the scene of an accidental magic case; it is their responsibility to discover the specifics of the charm and how to consistently cast it. Charms Developers are responsible for ensuring that all new and experimental charms, both those created within the Ministry and outside of it, can be properly and safely cast without harm to either the caster or any other individual. In cases of accidental magic involving charms, they accompany Spell Reversal Agents and document which charms were used. They should work with Spell Researchers in order to assess the spells under consideration. Development employees must have an O grade in NEWT level Charms, and an E grade in NEWT level Transfiguration. They must also have at least 3 other NEWT level subjects. Defense Against the Dark Arts is recommended.

History:
Theodore has been called Bear from birth and prefers to go by that name. After his graduation from Hogwarts, he attended the University of Edinburgh (using magically-falsified school records, of course) and obtained several degrees in various branches of Linguistics. Upon graduation from UE, he was hired as a Charms Developer in the Department of Magical Accidents and Catastrophes. After a few years of work in the department, he took an extended sabbatical to teach at his alma mater and to do field research in the development of language in isolated communities around the world. He returned to the Ministry permanently in March of 2097.
