Okay so, as title suggests, I wanted to make this thread and drop in as many ideas as we can get for Simgurus to potentially implement. You may enter yours too and I will edit and add them!
I can include obvious ideas too, but so far have written what is new or would like a return of.
So far the ideas are:
-dragons, similar to Makin Magic. They can sleep in fireplace! Under cauldron?
-duels with spells (love Makin Magic)
-self sweeping broom (like roomba that magically sweeps floor by itself)
-telekinesis type spells (like, woosh with hands/wand and the magic broom starts cleaning, or dishes fly to the sink themselves, or toys and books fly to their locations to be put away. Like magical cleaning and for other fun uses!
Like movies Matilda, Stranger Things, etc.)
-magic rituals? Circles with complex alchemical pentagram and hooded sims.
-levitating books
-new spell ingredients (mermaid scale, butterfly wings, bat legs, etc)
-evil and good spells that are fun and not just mood/emotion buffs (turn into frog is classic, would be fun to see turn sims into tiny size or large size like furniture in build/buy, or summon tiny rain cloud above them to make them wet curse, make them walk backwards, or trip and fall constantly. As for good spells, they get musical sparkly farts/burps ahaha, etc)
-flying broom games (like basketball game, but with more sims, perhaps quidditch style?)
-more magical dangers
-talking/cawing raven that delivers magical mail? Or owl/hippogryoh/phoenix, whatever
-medieval wooden decor/furniture
What are your ideas? Let me know so I can add them in!

I'd love:
-Enchantment spell from Makin' Magic: gnomes and other garden decorations come to life. They could expand it to enchanting certain objects: full-length mirrors could be enchanted to work like portals or talking mirrors like in TS3, bookcases could be enchanted to have books flying around.
-The magic world where you go to get ingredients or magical items can't be accessed by normal sims. Hence "realm of magic" being exclusive to witches/wizards.
-Magical forms or outfits like the beauty or beast charm in Makin' magic.
Honestly, I'd love if they brought back the magic book from TS1 with all its various spells. All of those spells had special uses in everyday life: love, friendship, banishing annoying people, turning them into frogs.. etc.
To add to the good spells, I think there should be some spells to cure Sims of vampirism or diseases. Pets could be able to be cured too. There should also be spells to fix the needs of other Sims if they want as well.
Oh good idea! Lots of good witches in lore help cure diseases and help people feel better. In fact, my grandma herself was cured by a white witch back in Russia when she was little. She told me she was 6, ran around and fell and got a big cut on her cheek that got infected and puffed up to size of a large adult fist or an orange. And so my great grandma took her to this old nice lady who lived in woods, she whispered something and threw herbs around her, then sweeped them into cloth and told to bury it in garden, and this illness will pass. So they did, and next day that giant cyst ruptured and all pus leaked away, leaving small scar along jaw line so it's well hidden. And yes she did try doctor before but procedure was told to be expensive and may leave permanent large scarring on face so they wanted to try something else.
•duel with vampires using magic
•influence weather
•cat and dog familiars
•club activities
And I hope for a magic perk system similar to the celebrity perk system with traits and quirks!
I wish to see a return of alchemy. I would like some sort of gameplay that is integrated to those with SEASONS installed with respect to weather manipulation. Maybe freezing foes, or sunburning nosy neighbours until they catch ablaze. I wouldn't mind having to train my magical skills to create a rainstorm either.
