Magic (The Sims: Makin' Magic): Difference between revisions

'''Magic''' is introduced in ''[[The Sims: Makin' Magic]]'', consisting of spells and [[magic charms|charms]] that can be obtained by combining [[Magic ingredient|ingredients]]. All magic and its required ingredients can be viewed in '''The Start Here Spellbook''', though [[adult]]s and [[child]]ren have separate spells and charms. Adult Spells are crafted with the '''Spellbound Wand Charger''' while adult charms are forged with the '''EverAfter Crafter'''. Children can craft both spells and charms with the '''MagiCo NeoMagical Newt'''. Most children's magic consists of charms, but kids have their own versions of the Get Happy, Smiley Face, and Enchant spells. The child versions of Get Happy and Smiley Face can also be used on adults.

When ''Makin' Magic'' is installed, all residential lots will be visited by the [[Mystery Man]], who will deliver the MagiCo Magical Starter Kit. The package contains a wand, 35 [[MagiCoins]], spellbook, wand charger, charm crafter, [[A Hole in the Ground]], butter, toadstools and toad sweat. The ingredients allow for a single charge of the Toadification spell. The wand charger must be placed on a surface, so the package also contains a Truly Charming End Table, which the wand charger will be sitting on.

Any [[Sim]] may become magical by obtaining a Magic Wand. A single wand is included with the MagiCo Magical Starter Kit, and an unlimited number of wands can be obtained with the Spellbound Wand Charger and MagiCo NeoMagical Newt. Wands can also be purchased from the Mystery Man in [[Magic Town]] for §50. To make a magical Sim become non-magical they can sell their wand to the Mystery Man, which will also remove all spells in their inventory and prevent them from using any magic unless they obtain a wand again.

Spells are created with the Spellbound Wand Charger and charms with the EverAfter Crafter. Child Sims can create both spells and charms with the MagiCo NeoMagical Newt. Ingredients must be added in the correct order, which is listed in the family spellbook. To add ingredients, simply select the object and select "Add...". The pie menu will list all ingredients in the Sim's [[inventory]] that can be added to the combiner. Selecting "Read Label" will list the ingredients in the combiner, while "Empty Out" will remove the ingredients and place them back indiscard the Sim's inventoryingredients.

Once three ingredients have been added, the "Charge Wand" (for the Spellbound Wand Charger), "Make Magic" (for the MagiCo NeoMagical Newt), or "Make Charm" (for the EverAfter Crafter) interaction will become available. If the correct ingredients are used, a spell or charm will be created. If the wrong ingredients or wrong order isare used, then nothing will be produced and the ingredients will be lost. The number of spell charges an adult will receive is based on the type of spell and the Sim's [[Cooking]] [[skill]]. The number of charges an adult charm receives depends on the type of charm and the maker's [[Mechanical]] skill. A higher skill level will result in more charges. Child spells only ever result in a single charge, while child charms always receive six charges.

The '''Crystal Clear Ability Rock''' is a type of magical growth that can appear on a residential lot. These crystals allow [[Sim]]s with wands canto learn special abiltiies from these crystals depending on their color,abilities which can be used to entertain other Sims, teleport to an area, and even extinguish fires. A crystal will become inert after it has taught its ability to three different Sims. Crystals also emit light, meaning they can also function as lamps.

Each crystal takes two-to-three days to grow to full size, but can be used at any point. [[Child]]ren can only gain the 'Hot Foot', 'Magic Trick' and 'Teleport' abilities, and they will keep those abilities after using the Age of Instant charm. Using the Teleport and Extinguish abilities is considered casting, and countsmay towardresult thein numbera neededvisit forfrom athe newSpellchecker, growth.though Crystalsit also emitcounts light,toward meaningthe theynumber canneeded alsofor functiona asnew lampsgrowth.

|Sim can magically summon a rainstorm to extinguish fires[[fire]]s on the lot.

The beanstalk begins as a short plant, with each segment counting as a separate growth. If the beanstalk has 17 segments, it can be climbed to access a [[LotSecret 99lot#The Sims: Makin' Magic|secret lot]] in the clouds. However, beanstalks have a pre-determined growth limit, meaning that some beanstalks will never grow to maximum height. Beanstalks on Magic  Town Community lots are not climbable. Beanstalks which grown on Sim-Owned Residential lots in Magic Town are climbable.

These flowers do not require water, and therefore never wilt and die. Strangely, they can also be used as an end table. Sims will not autonomously place objects on the flowers, but will use any object placed on them. Solar Powered GEraniums can only be placed outside.

Unlike other growths, Toadstoolstoadstools may possibly spring up when sittingSims sit on the '''Champignon Toadstool Chair'''. This will be indicated with a rapid "popping" sound. Having a Sim alternate between sitting on two toadstool chairs will guarantee that toadstools towill grow. Toadstools can be harvested for use as an ingredient.
