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, The Sims Medieval and The Sims 3.

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 Sim regardless of life state 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.

There are 5 spells to choose from, and Teens through Elders can learn from it.


 * Enchant- This spell can only be used on Lady Ravendancer's Book o' Spells and makes it look like it is 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 Aquainted- This spell summons someone with "friend" or higher relationship to you.

Your Sim must review the spell on the Book o' Spells for them to work successfully more often. The spells lose power quickly so it might be a good idea to review them every day. If the spell does not work correctly, your Sim or the other Sims in the room could get the "Cursed" Moodlet.
