Spells in Makin' Magic
Magic, spells, and charms were introduced to SimCity in Makin' Magic. The premise is simple: after Sims have collected a few ingredients, 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 more difficult to produce. Also, there is the fact that some magic can only be used by adults, while some can only be used by children.

First of all, you'll receive a box from the Mystery Man. Inside the box there is a spell book, a wand charger, a wand, 35 MagicCoins, and a Hole in the Ground. You also get some basic ingredients. If you want to make charms, you'll need to go into Buy Mode and buy the EverAfter Crafter. You can look up spells and charms in the spell book and see what ingredients you need for each, and whether they go in the wand charger or the EverAfter Crafter. However, you will not see the name of the spell or charm until someone in the family has made it. You will be able to get more ingredients throughout the game. Most can be bought with MagiCoins, and some can be bought with simoleons. Many of these can be made or gotten at home. Some ingredients can only be obtained by bartering with vendors, or by performing tasks for them.

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 toad for a short period of time. The toads 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 very bad mood, the caster will become naked and the relationship will go down. This spell can be cast on a Sim who is doing something else, without interrupting what that Sim is doing. Requires two lots of Honey and one of 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. The toads can be kissed. 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. The gnomes will often help you with the gardening, whilst the flamingos become entertaining hostesses. However, if the caster has a low Mechanical skill, the object being enchanted is more likely to go up in flames. Requires Butter, Toadstools and Pixie Dust.


 * Dish Wish (Charm): This charm clears up any dirty dishes on your lot. If you use this charm and there are no dirty dishes on the lot, though, several dirty plates will appear. Requires two lots of Golden Thread and some Llama Spit.


 * Get Happy (Spell): This spell gives a Sim an instant boost in their mood. If the Sim you are casting it on has a low Nice score, they will suffer a drop in their mood instead, unless their mood is already low. This spell can be cast on a Sim who is doing something else, without interrupting what that Sim is doing. Requires Honey, Grapes and Pixie Dust.


 * 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 some Sands of Time.


 * Smiley Face (Spell): This spell will turn whoever you cast it on into a friend of the caster. If the Sim you cast it on is already a friend, the Sim you cast it on will beat you up. Requires Honey, Garlic and Toad Sweat.


 * Polar Attraction (Charm): This charm will result in positive social interactions and responses from other Sims. However, if the caster's Body skill is less than 2, other Sims will reject most of your interactions. Requires Beeswax, Dragon Scales and Llama Spit.


 * Banish (Spell): This spell will remove a sim from your lot if it is a visiting Sim. In the case of a family member they will disappear, but after a while they'll return. The spell will backfire if you try to cast it on another Sim who has a wand; if this happens, the caster will be banished. Requires Butter, Garlic and Snake Venom.


 * Clone Drone (Charm): This charm will create an exact clone of your sim which can be sent to work while your sim works on their skills or just relaxes for the day. However, if your Sim is very hungry, the clone will spontaneously combust. Requires Beeswax, Sands of Time and Pegasus Feather.


 * Perfect Garden (Charm): This charm will make all plants, vegetable crops or vineyard crops be fully grown instantly. However, if you have a gnome on your lot, they will come to life and kick the caster in the shins and then proceed to kill the plants. Requires Golden Thread, Magical Bean and Four Leaf Clover.


 * Magic Mood (Charm): This charm will give the caster, or everybody in the family, a boost to all their motives, except for Room. However, all motives will be reduced to red except for room if the caster is in a good mood already. Requires Beeswax, Magical Beans and Glacial Glass.


 * Lovestruck (Spell): This spell will make the Sim you cast it on fall in love with the caster. The caster will be struck with lightning and lose nearly all of their Comfort and Energy if the Sim you are casting it on has a wand of their own, though. Requires Honey, Dragon Tears and Pixie Dust.


 * Hypnotize (Spell): This spell hypnotizes a Sim and lets you make them perform one of three actions. The possible actions are: Plead, Dance, Kiss, Hug, Compliment, and Flirt (Backrub). Each will give the caster's relationship with that Sim a boost, but will also drop the caster's Comfort and Fun to some degree. If the Sim you're casting the spell on has a wand of their own, the caster will be hypnotized and made to do silly tricks. Requires Butter, Toad Sweat and Clown Confetti.


 * Of House and Home (Charm): This charm summons the cleaning spirit Wally O' Wisp to clean your house for you quickly and efficiently at no cost to you. If the Sim using the charm is in a bad mood or has a low Neat score, Wally's sister Molly will appear instead and cause havoc in your house. Requires Golden Thread, Glacial Glass and Pegasus Feather.


 * The Big Question (Spell): This spell causes a Sim to fall in love with you and marry you. If the Sim you're casting the spell on has a wand of their own, though, the Sim will like you less and the caster will become transparent and small. Requires Honey, Clown Confetti and Wizard's Eyelashes.


 * Price of Fame (Charm): The Sim using the charm will change to the Superstar career track and have a star level of 4.5 Celebrity. If the caster has a Star Power of around 3 stars or over, though, about five Obsessed Fans will appear by the Sim. Requires Beeswax, Diamond Dust and Black Rose.


 * A Friend Indeed (Spell): This spell will turn your pet into a human and is irreversible. If the pet is in a bad mood, however, they will do different things; cats will run away and dogs will attack the caster. Requires Butter, Pet Treats and Clown Confetti.

Children's Spells and Charms
Children can also perform magic. They collect ingredients and place them within their own magical combiner, called the MagiCo NeoMagical Newt. Most children's magic is done with charms, but kids have their own versions of the Get Happy, Smiley Face, and Enchant spells. The kid versions of Get Happy and Smiley Face can be used on adults.


 * Beauty or Beast Jr(Charm): This charm can be used to change the kid's appearance, like with the adult version of the spell. There are two 'costumes' for each gender of child. Both have the skeleton 'costume', the boy has a green imp/goblin/grinch costume and girls have a purple pixie/elf costume. However, if seen by any Sim, all Sims on the lot will have their heads replaced with donkey heads. Requires three lots of Toadstools.


 * Get Happy Jr (Spell): This spell gives the victim a boost to their motives, except Room. All the motives will drop dramatically with Energy or Bladder sometimes dropping to empty if the victim's Nice score is low. Requires Toadstools, Dragon Scales and Faerie Dust.


 * Enchant (Spell): This spell brings certain inanimate objects to life, just like the adult version. Again, if the spell backfires, the items will burst into flames. Requites two lots of Faerie Dust and Dragon Tears.

 * Smiley Face Jr (Spell): This spell generates an instant friend, unless the victim is already a friend, in which case they will hit the caster. Requires two lots of Dragon Tears and Faerie Dust.


 * Invisible Friend (Charm): This charm creates an invisible friend for the child to play and talk with. Sometimes, though, the invisible friend will insult, tease and kick the caster. Requires two lots of Faerie Dust and Toadstools.


 * Clone Drone Jr (Charm): This spell creates a clone of the caster, just like the adult version. If the child is hungry, though, the clone will burst into flames.Requires Toadstools, Dragon Scales and Dragon Tears.


 * Age of Instant (Charm): This charm will cause the child to grow up into an adult, and is irreversible. However, if the child's grades are below A - and he or she is hungry, the child will revert back to being a baby. Requires two lots of Dragon Scales and Toadstools.
