Is this true in your world or not? It's definitely true in canon, but it has been made clear to me that I should ignore canon, so here I am, asking. To answer your questions from the last thread, morte , the Ministry provides heavily enchanted cars on at least two separate occasions in the books. First time was in PoA. |

Why does this matter ?
Not that I can answer your question anyway. But why does this matter so much you have to bring it up again after the last thread was shut down?

Because it was off-topic in the first thread. I should have posted a separate question to begin with.
It matters because a change to the culture changes every character that grew up surrounded by that culture. This is part of my long list of cultural beats that Quinn was raised with, so if I'm wrong, I need to know.
EDIT: Also, because of the "ignore canon" rule, I can't just assume that it is true based on my reading of canon. For every bit of canon that Quinn follows, I am going to have to ask a question about it here and get it approved.

My interpretation has always been that wandless magic was the only thing really removed in HBN, which I considered uneventful as it was never that large an aspect in the books (more common in the films I know).
The other archtypes had their own changes introduced to keep the forum managable. Vampires are limited to path of humanity at least at the start, lose all other powers if they were previously a witch or wizard etc & do not have generations. I don't know CoC that well to comment there, but I imagine investigators are not on par with Vampire/Werewolf/Wizard characters in any case.
Enchanted items are certainly forum canon. Plenty of magic characters have one or two enchanted items which were okay'd as part of their initial character concept and it seems to be expected that magical suitcases and such are not too uncommon as long as they have little to no impact on plot and are not all over the place.
From a lore point of view I had not questioned it. Not every wizard can enchant items as shown by them mostly buying such items from magical shops in the books and spells/wands are regularly used to add temporary enchantments to items instead, likely because too many permanently enchanted items would become a risk to the Statute of Secrecy (part of the reason Portkeys were restricted and typically innocuous).
It is to be expected that the Misuse of Muggle Artefacts Office was improved following the books, especially since Hermione became Minister of Magic.
