Maybe, in the new pack, Maxis could add in the Seven Wonders?
An average witch is born with a few natural gifts. But in each generation there is one woman who embodies countless gifts. Some say all of them. She is the Supreme.
The Supreme Witch, known more colloquially as The Supreme, is a worldwide status recognized among the community of witches descended from the Salem Witch Trials. While most witches possess only a handful of inherent supernatural gifts, the Supreme is said to be the living embodiment of magic itself, identified via their mastery over 7 distinct magical abilities known as "The Seven Wonders": Telekinesis, Divination, Transmutation, Pyrokinesis, Concilium, Descensum, and Vitalum Vitalis.
In addition, the Supreme possesses an immunity to all pre-existing ailments and diseases, and their very presence causes the air around them to vibrate with "sheer power"[1]. Despite these talents, a Supreme rarely possess the ability to perform specific feats of magic inherited by some witches via their own unique family bloodlines, or which these witches have managed to develop on their own, among these the gifts of The Sight, Clairvoyance, Illusion Manipulation, "Black Widow", or Injury Transference, to name a few. Resurgence is oftentimes inaccessible to Supremes, as well.
Unfortunately, the Supremacy does not last solely with one witch, as with time the next generation's Supreme will be born and the former Supreme's powers will begin to pass on to their successor. As a result, while the new Supreme flowers, the life force of the former regnant gradually fades, their immune system facing a rapid decline in the form of multiple organ failures, disease, diabetes, and cancer until their inevitable death.
In order for the Salem coven to establish a witch who has inherited Supremacy, a witch chosen by the Supreme must undergo the Test of the Seven Wonders - a set of tasks conducted by the Witches' Council which revolve around all seven of these aforementioned magical abilities. Whichever witch successfully exhibits them all can then lay claim to the title of Supreme, and only upon the death of the current Supreme will they inherit the full extent of their magical powers. Despite this, the risk associated with undertaking the Test of the Seven Wonders can outright kill a witch if they do not possess the magic and mastery necessary to complete one of the Test's specific tasks.

coven was an amazing season, and if you havent watched apocalypse, a little spoiler ahead that michael did pass all tests and was going to become the supreme, but that was thwarted but there was a possibility he could have.
I don't know if we should have a proper Seven Wonders system, since going through so much whole hoopla for a meaningless role might not be the most interesting gameplay. Plus I'd rather have all my sims have the opportunity to become amazing with a little hard work - I'd just limit myself to one Supreme on my own. But I'd like witch competitions like that in order to prove your mettle to/against other witches. To have a way to train witches and establish a hierarchy. Like a dueling skill, or being a strong witch, or unlocking battle-related spells - you can be a better duelist than everyone around you if you train enough.
The Sims 4 hasn't introduced a new musical instrument since 2017
I'm hoping they do something with enough direction to not feel generic, but without drawing over much on any one particular magic based source in other media. I want people to be able to do Harry Potter, Practical Magic, Witches of Eastwick, Dresden Files, AHS Coven, D&D style Vancian magic (even though I, personally, hate Vancian magic systems) or whatever type of magic user their creative little heart fancies within the necessary limitations of what mechanics can reasonably be programmed - though based on Vampires and the Fame system, I have high hopes for what they can program.
I'm not much into Sim breeding, but want to be able explore the pack at maximum with just one or two Sims.
Love that season too although IMO the female only mindset is still there. Michael would have won but only because of who his father was. I like the idea of magic, but I don’t like the idea that it’s for some reason only representative of powerful females and the males were viewed as inferior or less powerful. My only complaint with season 8 and 3.
I know I want to play a variety of witches if possible and want some flexibility in my game play. That's my expectation, beyond that... wow me.
