Spell book

A spell book is a book that teaches magic spells. It can be found in The Sims: Makin' Magic, The Sims 2: Apartment Life, The Sims 3 Store and The Sims 4: Realm of Magic. The Sims 3: Supernatural combines a spell book and a cauldron into a single object known as an alchemy station.

The Sims: Makin' Magic
The Start Here Spell Book, Version 2.0 is a spell book acquired in a box delivered to new households by the Mystery Man, but it can also be bought in buy mode, along with The Start Here Spell Book, Original. Sims can learn ingredients for spells from these books, but they won't know what the spells do until they cast them.

The Sims 2: Apartment Life
When a Sim becomes a witch or warlock, a Grandiose Grimoirse spell book will be added to the Sim's inventory. The book's title will contain the Sim's name and their alignment title. If the spell book gets removed, new ones can be purchased from a high witch by a witch that is either neutral or is of a compatible-alignment. The Palace of Neverending Light and the Fortress of Eternal Darkness lots also contain spell books that playable witches can claim and use. Witches and warlocks can claim abandoned or unclaimed spell books. The spell book will be of the same alignment of the witch or warlock that possesses it.

Spell books provide three interactions for allowing witches and warlocks to learn new spells: "Study the Ways of the Light", "Study the Neutral Magics", and "Study the Path of Darkness". If the warlock's or witch's alignment changes, the look of their spell book will change accordingly to the path of magic they're partaking in. Witches and warlocks can also check their abilities using a spell book, which will provide a list of the spells they know, as well as their current alignment, their skill in magic, and the reagents they can craft. Witches and warlocks can also abandon their current spell book in order to claim another one.

Sims can attempt to examine a spell book that isn't their own. When they do so, the spell book will attack the Sim that touches it.

The Sims 3
Players can purchase Lady Ravendancer Goth's Book o' Spells from The Sims 3 Store, which can teach Sims to cast a variety of spells. Teens through elders can perform the following interactions: learn spells, review spells, cast spells.

In The Sims 3: Supernatural, a spell book forms part of the alchemy station, but it cannot be bought on its own.

Lady Ravendancer Goth's Book o' Spells
Sims can gain the "Makin' Magic" moodlet from successfully performing a spell. If a spell does not work correctly, the Sim or other Sims in the room may get the "Cursed" moodlet. Sims have to review spells often in order to achieve better outcomes.

Sims can learn the following spells from the book:


 * Enchant- This spell can be used on Lady Ravendancer's Book o' Spells and other magic objects like Lord Vladimir's Magic Cauldron and Soothsayer's Crystal Ball. It makes those objects look like they are in use.
 * Mood Elevatus- This spell can be used in a room with 2 or more people in it to increase their Mood.
 * Summon Anamale- This spell can be used in a room with 2 or more people in it to give them the "Cursed" Moodlet which makes Sims involuntarily act in strange ways.
 * Summon- This spell summons a random Sim from your town to you.
 * Summon Acquainted- This spell summons someone with "friend" or higher relationship to you.

The Sims 4: Realm of Magic
In The Sims 4: Realm of Magic, spell books can be carried anywhere and are not tied to a pedestal. They can only be used by spellcasters. Spellbooks open up a unique UI to which spellcasters can look through their known spells and potions as well as detailing their progress.
