You can ranks in spellcasting by experimenting with spellcasting or alchemy, being taught by someone else, or by actually casting spells once you learn some. Being a spellcaster is a life state like being a vampire or mermaid, and is inheritable. The important part of the neighborhood is that if you send your sim along a back path you can find a portal to the titular Realm of Magic, where if you talk to one of three sages, your sim can become a spellcaster.
Realm of Magic gives you a new neighborhood, Glimmerbrook, which only has a few lots, and despite having a lot of new clothing and build mode options, the lots that are pre-made by EA are, typically, regrettable. So I've been playing a lot of The Sims 4 recently, partially because a boomeranging sinus infection has kept me home for about half of February.Īnyway, because I have both Realm of Magic and Discover University installed, I've been using both.
