Auror
My story requires my MC to perform a very simple, basic test to see if she has any talent as a magician. (Turns out she doesn't.) So, I need a reliable method that the magicians in this world can use to measure magical talent. Not how much magical potential they have, because my MC has that is spades, but rather the talent for controling and focusing it into spells. Even so, it has to be something that anyone can do without having to learn how.
Having a bit of trouble of thinking of anything suitable, though, so suggestions are welcome.
Magic in this story is mostly about mentally channeling a kind of natural energy, usually with some manner of staff or other tool, and use it to enforce ones will on the physical world. It's relatively limited and not terribly flashy by fantasy standards.
