Providing a challenge to a supernatural experience would make it feel more engaging to players. The supernatural world should not have to spill into the regular world to the extent that you need to disenable and re-enable the expansion pack every time you want to play another family, and the effects of a secretive supernatural world adds more depth and mystery to it. Every life state should be unique in both how it performs and how it does magic, and regular sims should have some magical abilities as well but in a way that is believable from a storytelling standpoint.
Right, But I feel like the Sims 2 nor Sims 3 style of Witches were not engaging to me.
For me when I design My sorcerer, and How I will want to choose to play with Magic,
He will not have another form. Actually My sorcerer is the Sim you see in my profile picture.
His eyes may have a golden glow when he casts spells, and may adorn himself with a cloak, over his jeans and hoodie/Leather Jacket, But that's it. above all He's a really Good Sorcerer, By the age of 21 He's considered a Master. He was taught by his Mother and Grandparents. No way was he going to some corny Magic School.
Again well versed in the Element of Fire, Light and Dark Magic, Enchanting, Potion and Curse Crafting, and Blood Magic. and He uses dark magic when he needs to which is common.
In the lore I've read and watched, Sorcerers do have innate ability to manipulate the world around them to their will, as if they are a force of Nature, that we deem as Magic, where as Humans do not {Unless you have the power Dormant inside you} and it's hereditary. A Sorcerer's only limit is the amount of Energy they unleash at a time. They're Supernatural, but not Immortal, although they can become Immortal if they wish.
Where a Witch's limit is exactly what the Sims have given you in the Past, Humans pretending to do magic, where all their power comes from the objects they acquire. It's a charade. They don't really have powers of their own right.
However I do believe Humans can do Some spells that really don't require the Arcane Knowledge and use objects that have magic built into it. Like Spell Books, Wands, Crystal balls, Cauldrons. Items that have already belonged to a Sorcerer.
But I'm not saying a Human can't become a sorcerer, If I designed it I would Make the Items I listed, except the Crystal Ball, Conduits of Sorcerers. If another Sim were to get their hands on, let's say your spell books, and they read enough into it, they could achieve a copy of the Sorcerer's Arcane Fingerprint. If you think about it, It's actually Identity Theft.
Good or Evil, All magic comes with a Price, and many have a Steep Price. How are you going to cast A Love Spell?
It shouldn't be as simple as waving your hand, and boom they're in love.
it's one of the basic Laws of Magic You can't truly make someone love you.
and the Moment that Loves Spell Breaks, Those two sims will be at each others throats.
But I think Potions and Curses Should be more extreme.
Sleeping Curse. Like Hennessy You can take it straight to the head, If you want a chaser, the Apple, go ahead.
Ingredients: Toad Stool, hemlock, Oak root.
Permanent slumber, (If you rotate households, sim is still a sleep) sim with the highest Relationship can wake them up. (Includes family/Best Friend/not strictly romantic). A sim with no relationships is as good as dead.
Side effects after woken: Nightmares/Insomnia.
Curse of Infertility:
Ingredients: Rose, Tears of a Child/Toddler, Sleeping Curse
Ruins the chances of a Sim ever conceiving a child.
Side effects: Abdominal pain
Cure? None that I can think of.
Making Magic WAS MY All Time FAV Pack IN The ORIGINAL Sims......... & My Thoughts ON Magic Coming BACK IS: @SimGuruGraham With Laundry Day Description / TEXT Tonsssssssss OF Implications OF MAGIC IF You Read Them!!!!!! And In His Stream He Made A Few Statements About The "TEXT" I May Be Totally OFF ......... SO I CAN WISH.......... Right???????????
Magical Upgrade: Upgrades any object; this doesn't contribute toward Handiness skill, however. The duration of casting is dependent on spellcasting hidden skill level.

Guys, I m sorry for my English. More is that I want to give ideas to the witches of The Sims 4. If I have witches, I think it's cool to have several types of spells and spells. I was browsing the Superpower Wiki and picked up from there various powers that EA should add to the witches. The first spells are spells of creating food and drink. Over time witches would get stronger spells of manipulating electricity, fire, and ice. remembering that these powers are from the Superpower Wiki
Look at these personal powers I got from the Superpower Wiki that a page of superpowers. And it's those powers I want for witches. Spells create food, drinks, spells to change hair color. Spells to evoke and create any kind of object of purchase mode. Fertility magic. Healing spells and causing illness. Elemental spells, fire magic, ice magic. Charms to banish ghosts. Spells to evoke ghosts. Sorry for my English I wanted to give my ideas.

Blessing Inducement Induce blessings. Capabilities The user can bless anything including people, places, objects etc. and produce positive effects. This can include bringing good luck to people, or something as little as Emotion Augmentation as long as it is the happy emotions.
What this power does is entirely up to the user as long as it isn't malevolent in nature, like giving people bad luck or causing deaths. The most traditional effects are granting long life, fertility, health, success and wealth or suppressing negative emotions and memories. Most blessing deal with negating/removing misfortune or other negative effects.
Anyone can become a witch/wizard or can born as a witch or created in CAS.
I'd also like to have a magic school with their own courses to learn magical techniques: elemental, astrology, divination, alchemy, Wicca, black/forbidden magic, wandless magic, druidism, exorcism, incantation, invocation, mysticism, cartomancy paganism, shamanism, runic divination, transfiguration, astral projection, magic circle, chaos magic, white magic, demonology, familiar spirit, occultism etc. Sims can choose one or more subjects to study. Can also become new careers.
To keep it simple, witch sims can follow 3 main paths: good, bad and neutral.
San have the possibility to have familiars which means I hope they include supernatural creatures but they can also bond with cats/dogs. Depending on their relationship and traits, if their familiar die, the sims can die too.
Basically, gameplay is paramount to me and for that, I need to have control and A LOT of options.

I agree, having a lot of options would be ideal. That's pretty much why I want them to expand beyond Witches and have a variety of spellcasters to choose from, as well as types of magic. I do like the idea of a magical school for young aspiring magic users. I imagine they'd have to come out with a school pack first so they could incorporate a specialty like that.
I also really want the "magically imbued" to be able to duel against Vampires.

Yeah, definitively need to have that Education EP first before they could include it in the game. I do like the idea of magical duels which also means new deaths: "magical deaths" (potions/spells that backfire, sims kill another with dark magic) etc.
Also a setting to choose who can become a magical being and also to disable magic for those who do not want those in their game.
I'm always a big fan of Magic and everything that involves the arcane. So I approve of this idea! Plus, since we got skeletons and we could have zombies get a return, how about we add necromancy to the witches? Witches can summon/reanimate skeletons and/or zombies to do their chores.

Oooh necromancy could be a branch within the possible perk system! But an advanced one
And something important in witchcraft, crystals having specific uses! You can make charms from them and when your sim carries them in their inventory, depending on the crystal your relationship with other Sims become better, or nobody will bother you, ot your work preformence increases a bit more, etc

Necromancy is something I really, really want. I'd love to be able to make a Voodoo Mambo who can raise the dead and create zombie minions and turn people into skeletons and summon or banish ghosts. It would also be a great way for players to control the life and death of their Sims. It would also help if we could have actual graveyards.

Definitely! Witches could actually mine for their own crystals and turn them into magical implements for spell influence. Great idea!
My number 1 wish would be for the return of witches, which I'm sure we'll get at some point since it's a popular request, but I'd love to see a version of miagic town too; I loved all the items in the TS1 magic town, especially the item where you tried raising the dead and calling up a storm, and the duelling platform.
"Get your facts first, then you can distort them as much as you please." - Mark Twain
Witches are the top occult in the entire Sims franchise, they should receive a EP treatment instead of a GP like vampires or be a simple side feature like in SUpernatural/Apartment Life.
I would like to see the little dragon pets back in the game, and i love all of your ideas. Maybe a Hogwarts themed feature as well for the kids/teens. I would love to see different branches of magic in the game, as well as a partnership with Warner Bros to add some clothing and some objects liek they did with Star Wars. Not asking for a recreation of Hogwarts, just small side stuff... Would be impossible for them to have such a big partnership. haha
Everyone here is so creative with their spell ideas! I'm a simple simmer, just give me a divination skill for tea and cards and I'm good! Plus crystal healing could add points to the wellness skill.

Capabilities
User can place a curse on whatever they wish (people, places, objects, etc.). The exact effects can be nearly anything the user desires, ranging from minor annoyances to tortuously extended death.
Among the most common effects are misfortune/bad luck, various sicknesses, infertility, physical defects/ugliness, etc. when affecting people, breaking or working wrong or causing problems when used on objects and tendency to draw various disasters for places. Traditional magical curses include transforming the victim fully or partially into an animal/monster that fits the offense, blood-lust, insanity, unstoppable rages, unhealing wounds, misshapen/inhuman offspring, and a whole host of other effects.
Blessing Inducement
Induce blessings.
Capabilities
The user can bless anything including people, places, objects etc. and produce positive effects. This can include bringing good luck to people, or something as little as Emotion Augmentation as long as it is the happy emotions.
What this power does is entirely up to the user as long as it isn't malevolent in nature, like giving people bad luck or causing deaths. The most traditional effects are granting long life, fertility, health, success and wealth or suppressing negative emotions and memories. Most blessing deal with negating/removing misfortune or other negative effects.

I would love to see more people share their ideas for a Magic expansion.
I'd also like to have a magic school with their own courses to learn magical techniques: elemental, astrology, divination, alchemy, Wicca, black/forbidden magic, wandless magic, druidism, exorcism, incantation, invocation, mysticism, cartomancy paganism, shamanism, runic divination, transfiguration, astral projection, magic circle, chaos magic, white magic, demonology, familiar spirit, occultism etc. Sims can choose one or more subjects to study. Can also become new careers.
To keep it simple, witch sims can follow 3 main paths: good, bad and neutral.
Ranks: Initiate, adept, mage, master, apprentice
Objects: grimoires, ouija, tarot, crystal ball, amulets, brooms, wands, cloak of invisibility, magical weapons, magical carpet, magical ring, talismans, voodoo dolls etc.
San have the possibility to have familiars which means I hope they include supernatural creatures but they can also bond with cats/dogs. Depending on their relationship and traits, if their familiar die, the sims can die too.
Basically, gameplay is paramount to me and for that, I need to have control and A LOT of options.
I agree, having a lot of options would be ideal. That's pretty much why I want them to expand beyond Witches and have a variety of spellcasters to choose from, as well as types of magic. I do like the idea of a magical school for young aspiring magic users. I imagine they'd have to come out with a school pack first so they could incorporate a specialty like that.
I also really want the "magically imbued" to be able to duel against Vampires.
Also a setting to choose who can become a magical being and also to disable magic for those who do not want those in their game.
Oooh necromancy could be a branch within the possible perk system! But an advanced one
Necromancy is something I really, really want. I'd love to be able to make a Voodoo Mambo who can raise the dead and create zombie minions and turn people into skeletons and summon or banish ghosts. It would also be a great way for players to control the life and death of their Sims. It would also help if we could have actual graveyards.
Definitely! Witches could actually mine for their own crystals and turn them into magical implements for spell influence. Great idea!
I would like to see the little dragon pets back in the game, and i love all of your ideas. Maybe a Hogwarts themed feature as well for the kids/teens. I would love to see different branches of magic in the game, as well as a partnership with Warner Bros to add some clothing and some objects liek they did with Star Wars. Not asking for a recreation of Hogwarts, just small side stuff... Would be impossible for them to have such a big partnership. haha
