Magic

Magic and the paranormal is evident The Sims series. It can be seen in almost all games in some form, but most especially in The Sims: Makin' Magic, The Sims 2: Apartment Life and The Sims Medieval.

Magic can be wielded by individuals, often, though not always, called witches, by way of casting spells.

A example spell, from Apartment Life:

Magic can fail for many reasons, such as:

1. In Makin' Magic, many spells will backfire on the caster if the target also has magic.

2. The caster's needs are low.

3. low skill

Magic can have positive or negative results. Spells in Apartment Life are divided into Good, Neutral, and Evil. While most spells and charms in Makin' Magic are meant to have positive or neutral results, all can backfire.

The Sims 3
In The Sims 3, there is no Witch life state, but any normal Sim can use magic with Lady Ravendancer Goth's Book o' Spells. The Book o' Spells can be purchased from The Sims 3 Store for 500 Simpoints.
