I think for now, this is it until I work out everything else for him canonically. Please feel free to poke me if anything doesn't look right here for him or you feel something is missing!
Potions & Alchemy & Wandless magic: Potions master at a research institue for over 20 years, likely would have used alchemy here too so it's intimately connected with potion making and worked in potions before that too - wandless magic is absolutely something he'd have trained in just to make his life easier in regards to gathering ingredients (ie: accio and arresto momentum to stop him breaking all his vials when he inevitably made a mess of his work space)
Offensive/defensive magic: Previously an unspeakable and would have been trained further in this during his time at the ministry working with Draco - Draco liked to teach him things he didn't need for fun.
Explanation: For Healing, Coralie was a Healer for 15 years at St Mungo's Hospital and continues to practice independently as a researcher and Apothecary owner as seen in her registration thread. It is also the same justification for Potions.
Five Skills for Main Profile: Alchemy, Healing, Performance Art, Potions, Transfiguration
Explanation: [If you're requesting above your maximum level or a level 5, include an explanation why.]
Teaching: been teaching on and off over the years. Off/Def Magic/transfig: Part of the order, fought in a few battles, taught DADA in many institutions. Had a lot of practice. Also an animagus.
ps: he's just got a lot of years under his belt, he's had a lot of time to practice and enjoy these things.
Explanation: [If you're requesting above your maximum level or a level 5, include an explanation why.]
- Skills 6-7: Each of these has been used (almost exclusively) by Oberon since Hogwarts and then for the last 10 years as a bounty hunter, additionally he is an Animagus, showing aptitude for learning complex magic throughout those years; finally, his profession is very dangerous, and to succeed he would have had to be very skilled, let alone working professionally for the last decade
- Dark Arts / Offensive / Defensive: He is not a nice individual and often employs nasty spells or magic to get the job done, he uses these very often to make his captures easier; he also uses offensive spells a lot in his job, while also needing defensive capabilities against higher threat bounties.
"Having never met Leonard, Maeve only knows what her father has told her. A model student, Quidditch prodigy, and the perfect scion for a respectable pureblood house. Too bad he went missing soon after graduating from Hogwarts..."
Because of that, Quidditch has been added to his list, but capped to 4 due to profession altering; and instead that skill development went to Flying (which he uses a lot of, in pursuits).
- Tracking: This is one of his main methods of bounty hunting, which combines with his Animagi form (Gray Wolf), which has allowed him to become very skilled - especially with scents

Dark Arts: Magnus attended Durmstrang and was introduced to the subject there. He was enthralled by the concept, and achieved exceptional grades over the 8 years he was taught there. Dark magic is a mentioned interest of his in his bio, and he utilized dark magic in his law enforcement work for 6 years (nothing crazy - but he did not flinch at using jinxes, hexes and curses to apprehend criminals, even if it meant they were hospitalized). To him - the end justifies the means. It made him an extremely effective enforcer. Currently as an Auror (past 7 years - 3 in training), he still researches and utilizes dark magic - as he feels that to be able to counter such magic - one must understand it. To know thy enemy is to be prepared.
Defensive / Offensive Magic: Again, Magnus has been an exceptional recruit for the Ministry - so these skills are high mainly due to his line of work. Member of the Law Enforcement Squad for 6 years, followed by Auror training + graduation for the past 7 years. His participation in both the Civil War & Battle of Five Armies would have allowed him to demonstrate his prowess in this regard - where defensive magic is extremely important to prevent personal injury while on the job.
Dexterity (if approved): Dexterity, or sleight-of-hand, is a custom skill for Magnus as he is an accomplished pick-pocket, having resorted to such measures when he was younger to attain money/goods/food for himself and his mother. After pick-pocketing a governmental employee - Magnus was head-hunted for his skill in the department. As an Auror - he utilizes this skill to obtain information from others without their knowledge e.g. identity cards, confidential letters, files, objects of interest on a person. He also may occasionally utilize it to remove wands from peoples pockets, if they may be a threat.
Non-Verbal: Important to have as a skill as an Auror - as verbalising offensively and defensively is not always a smart option. Therefore Magnus has been training in non-verbal magic for over 10 years, and uses the skill daily in his line of work.
Occlumency: Magnus trained in Occlumency while undergoing his Auror training - the skill being very useful to prevent other invading his mind and obtaining any government information considered confidential. He has thus utilized the skill for around 4-5 years once fully trained.
Transfiguration: Magnus became a secret Animagus while still attending Durmstrang for the purpose of participating in underground brawls for extra money to support his single-mother in providing for herself while he was at school. His determination in achieving in this area of magic meant that he studied transfiguration almost exclusively until he was able to perform the advanced magic. He utilizes his Animagus form now in combat as an Auror as a last resort offensively, or when he needs to cover great distances without apparition. It is also mentioned in his bio that he graduated with extremely high marks in this subject.
