Spells

Magic and spells were introduced to SimCity in Makin' Magic. The premise is simple: after Sims have collected a few ingredients or reagents, they can be combined to create a useful spell. Of course, some ingredients are harder to obtain than others, and that means some spells are difficult to produce. And, there is the fact that Adults can only cast some spells, whilst children can only cast others.

First of all, you'll receive a magical box from a guy called the Mystery Man. Inside the box there are few basic ingredients, and some starter's equipment, including a spell book and a wand charger. You also get a free wand and 35 MagiCoins. You can look up spells in the spell book and see what ingredients you need for each spell. Once you have obtained all the ingredients for a particular spell, you can place them all in the wand charger. You can then charge up your wand and cast a single shot of the new spell. Some ingredients need to be placed inside the EverAfter Crafter, which creates charms. You will get more and more ingredients throughout the game, although many require you to buy them using MagiCoins, which can be obtained by performing simple tasks in Magic Town and dueling with others.

List of Adult Spells
This is a list of spells and charms that adults can cast. However, sometimes, spells will backfire.


 * Toadification (Spell): Turns a Sim into a frog for a short period of time. The frogs are kissable, and if a Sim kisses one, there is a chance you will get a bottle of Toad Sweat. The spell will backfire and the user will be turned into a toad if the user tries to cast the spell on a Sim who also owns a wand. Requires Butter, Toadstools and Toad Sweat.


 * Beauty or Beast (Charm): This temporarily changes the appearance of your Sim, either into a beautiful Sim, or a horrific monster, such as a werewolf, goblin, genie, minotaur, hunchback and so on. However, if you are seen using the charm by another Sim, every Sim on the lot will have their heads replaced with that of a donkey's. Requires three lots of Beeswax.


 * Relationship Boost (Spell): This spell can be used on any Sim to give your relationship with them a boost. However, if the Sim you are casting it on is in a bad mood, the caster will become naked and the relationship will go down. Requires two lots of Honey and Pixie Dust.


 * Horn of Plenty (Charm): This charm will generate about 4 to 5 plates of food and place them on a nearby surface. However, the lot will become the scene of a plague of toads if the Sim casting the charm has a full Hunger bar. Requires two lots of Magical Beans and some Golden Thread.


 * Enchant (Spell): This spell can bring inanimate objects to life. This includes garden gnomes, pink flamingos, refrigerators, scarecrows and chess boards.

However, if the caster has a low Mechanical skill, the object being enchanted is more likely to go up in flames. Requires two lots of Magical Beans and some Golden Thread.

 * Rain of Riches (Charm): This charm will generate piles of jewels and coins around the lot. If the Sim casting it is in a bad mood, however, the house will be flooded. Requires Beeswax, a Rubber Chicken and Diamond Dust.


 * Shed Your Skin (Charm): This charm will turn your Sim into a ghost of sorts. They will become transparent like ghosts, but cannot walk through walls. If it is used during the day or by a Sim that is already a ghost, the lot will become overrun with snakes. Requires two lots of Beeswax and Sands of Time.
