Who else did you turn into a spell caster? (premades)

I was going through my template save. This save I play very little, mainly only when I'm updating something for a new pack, and I use this to start other game saves off of. Anyways I came to the Free Spirits household in Windenburg. While I was looking at Ulrike Faust and thought she would make a pretty good witch, aka spell caster. She is part of the Renegades (a club). Here is a picture of her in case you don't know who she is.
I thought that she would make a pretty cool witch, and now she looks like this.
She has two familiars, the raven (in the photo) and the black bunny with the red eyes. At the moment she is practicing on her Mischief Magic.

Others I'm still debating on.
I always imagine them from Makin’ Magic so it fits them to be magical.

I have... so many spellcasters. Premades aside, I also have a ton of Harry Potter ones, the Addams family, my main, and two of my other Sims. Plus a few other premades who just decided to become spellcasters on their own - I removed it from most of them, but kept it for Siobhan Fyres and, uh, Bob Pancakes.
However the biggest witch family is the Fyres. Made everyone in that family a witch and gave both Dominic and Moira a strong bloodline trait.
Outside of them, I made the Hoapili family spellcasters, but basing them more on the traditions of the island, and I think that’s it.
*thinks of any others I would’ve made spellcasters* yeah I’m pretty sure that’s it.
My story for them is a bit different. It's also turning out to be LONG - I had not realized my head-canon was so elaborate. I'll tuck it under spoiler tags to spare folks the wall of text and screencaps.
Jump to the present day. Mortimer knows from family journals that they used to be magicians. He also knows that, even if they were to find their way to the academy, his family would meet an uncertain reception. But amongst the fragmentary records available to him is another name from the Old World, "Baulaire". Geneviève Baulaire had been the sole voice raised in Doctor Faustus' defense at his tribunal. Nothing in family records indicated she'd had any descendents.
In the present, it's the name of a very well known fashion columnist and lifestyle writer in Oasis Springs - readers of Simouge and Better Gnomes and Gardens have been reading meditative, moody, engaging articles by Avery Baulaire for years now. Avery seems largely unaware of his own magical heritage, although he has authored a handful of "New Age" books on tangental subjects like yoga and mindful living. It isn't really until the two families merge with the marriage of Mortimer's son, Alexander, and Avery's son, Alf, that he really makes the connection with Faustus von Göthe's triumph and tragedy.
Now, Alf is not magically gifted, nor even particularly curious, taking after his other dad, the practical and pragmatic Riley McGee more. But Avery's second son, Bhakti, was born (and named) when Avery was in the middle of a very deep exploration of mysticism, meditation, and the artistic expression of emotions. And Bhakti not only had similar interests but, on finishing high school, had no immediate career or family ambitions. Baulaire money (Riley earns an entirely respectable income as a celebrity chef, but nothing like the fistfuls of cash that Simogue throws at Avery to keep him writing for them) provided a nice cushion of financial independence, and it happened that the Goths - already leasing a rooming house they own in Willow Creek to Alf and Alexander - also still own what was once a caretaker's cottage in the once fashionable mountain resort town of Glimmerbrook.
Before he was even graduated from school, Bhakti took a weekend trip up into the mountains to look the place over, and to test his resolve to pass a certain portal, and make certain introductions.
Bhakti: "I swear by this, my extra-credit homework, and on my honor as a valedictorian, to uphold the three precepts of the magic arts and to conduct myself always in such a manner as is a credit to my teachers. So mote it be."
Sages: "So mote it be."
Bhakti has a mission, asked of him as a favor by his brother's father-in-law, and also now his landlord, but he is more than happy to assist. In addition to exploring the theory and practice of magic in general, that he should seek out some way to restore the lost von Göthe heritage. He is a diligent student and, in spite of the understandably tempting distractions of his new roommate and "assistant", Beejay Kinsey, Bhakti works his way steadily through the corpus of Magia Practicum, eventually attaining the pinnacle of that art, the Rite of Ascension, itself.
Next time he visits Alf and Alexander, for a family dinner in Willow Creek (bringing Beejay along to meet his brothers and his dads), Bhakti is able to honor his promise. He uses Avery's connections in the art conservancy world to arrange the return of Dr. Faustus von Göthe's cauldron, crystal besom, and his priceless, annotated manuscript copy of the legendary Glimmerbók.
Once he is a teen, Bhakti's nephew, Darian Goth-Baulaire, will also have his chance to explore the mystic arts. But no need to delay elsewhere. Bhakti visits Cassandra Goth along with Beejay just as the witching hour approaches and, at the stroke of midnight, restores to her the powers of her lost birthright.
TL;DR: Cassandra Goth is fully empowered as a Spellcaster, resident as a governess in her brother's household, and no one to mess with!
