Spellcaster: Difference between revisions

[[File:TS4 Spellcaster Icon.png|60px|left]]'''Spellcasters''' are a [[Life state|life state]] introduced in ''[[The Sims 4: Realm of Magic]]''.<ref name="Becoming a spellcaster">https://twitter.com/SimGuruRomeo/status/1163835576337883147</ref>  Spellcasters are denizens of [[Glimmerbrook]] and [[The Magic Realm]]. Spellcasters  can cast spells as well as concoct potions to cause a variety of magical effects.

[[File:TS4 CAS Spellcaster Button.png|thumb]]Spellcasters can be made directly in [[Create a Sim]] like other occult types, but they are the first to only have one form.  Spellcasters  also appear to have access to some customisation options from other life states such as pointed ears, vampire facial customisation  and vampire/mermaid teeth. It is unknown if this is intended.

A normal Sim can become a spellcaster through completing a quest given by one of the three Sages in Glimmerbrook and enacting a ritual known as the "Rite of Ascension".<ref name="Becoming a spellcaster"/>  Spellcasters who reach the rank ''Virtuoso'' can also learn the "Rite of Ascension" spell through the Sage of Practical Magic, which can be used to instantly turn other Sims into spellcasters.

Children born to spellcasters develop a magical bloodline trait, which will benefit them when they acquire their magical powers aging into [[teen]]s.<ref name="Magical Bloodline trait">https://twitter.com/SimGuruRomeo/status/1163859883457830912</ref>  If a  human child is  born being a spellcaster, the human Sim's parents will also inherit the trait, however, they won't be able to benefit from it until they've turned into a spellcaster through the Rite of Ascension. Sims born with any of the bloodline traits who aren't spellcasters can skip the quest for the sages and instantly ask for the rite.

If a spellcaster fails a feat of magic they can be cursed which will negatively affect them and their spells, similar in a different way with the [[Fame perk|fame quirks]] that [[Fame (The Sims 4: Get Famous)|celebrities]] can receive in ''[[The Sims 4: Get Famous]]''. Curses appear within the spellcaster's needs panel as well as each spellcaster can acquire up to 3/10 curses.<ref name="Curses">https://twitter.com/SimGuruRomeo/status/1163881430943846400</ref> Curses can easily be dispelled by drinking the Potion of Curse Cleansing or with the Decursify spell. Curses can also be outright prevented with the Hexproof perk, however, it will not cleanse any existing curses on the Sim prior to  the purchase.

There are four magic styles that spellcasters can learn and are: Practical, Mischief, Untamed, and [[Alchemy]]. They are not mutually exclusive, so spellcasters can learn more than one style at once.<ref name="Magic styles">https://twitter.com/SimGuruRomeo/status/1163850387893280768</ref>  Spellcasters can learn up to 24 spells and 15 potions, which can both be logged in a [[Spell book|spell book]].

Spellcasters can learn 24 spells across the three schools of magic, ranging from teleportation, to transforming Sims into objects, starting fires, summoning ghosts, and resurrecting deceased Sims. Spells can backfire, with the likelihood increasing  if the spellcaster's level  is lower than what is required for the spell.

* Having a  summoned familiar

There are a total of 24  perks from which spellcasters can choose. There are three columns of perks that must be bought in rows, but perks outside the columns don't have the restriction and can be bought as long as the spellcaster is of the appropriate level.

* '''Magical Discounts -  '''Sim receives a 50% discount on all purchases from the market stalls in The Magic Realm.

* Duel for Artifacts - Duel to receive the Wand or Broom of the opponent.  Player controlled spellcasters vs NPC spellcasters will not lose their Wand or Broom. Familiar, albeit not noted, can be wagered for as well.
