realistically, the kids aren't going to have many points. Perhaps
the classrooms can be enchanted to reduce the effects of critical
failures?
A suggestion I recall from a while ago for a Potter-esque game was
to make all spells cast with a wand "crit (ver)" - if you roll a crit
fail, you
have to roll a second time against your skill and fail that as well,
otherwise it's just a normal failure (or a a crit with only a
humorous but
harmless effect).
I'd make it even simpler. All spellcasting is at -5 unless you use a wand.
It makes it more difficult, but not impossible to cast without a wand. Of
course, I've not read any of the Harry Potter books and only caught bit and
pieces of the various movies (saw the first one, didn't care for it).
What I'd suggest is use the players as a resource. Have them make up a list
of all the rules and restrictions of spellcasting that they can remember.
Then have them list all the classes that the characters had attended.
