๐ The story
One spellcaster is a curiosity. A whole household of them is a force. Build a coven and take every member from fumbling Neophyte to feared Virtuoso, managing the Charge that crackles off them all โ because a coven that overloads doesn't just fail a spell, it can lose a member to the magic itself.
๐ The goal
Raise a household of at least **four spellcasters**, every one reaching **Virtuoso** rank.

๐ก Setup
๐ Getting started
- Create a founding spellcaster (or travel to the Magic Realm via Glimmerbrook and ask a Sage to make your Sim a spellcaster). Build a magical home with a long lifespan so there's time to teach everyone.
- Become a spellcaster (a Sage's blessing, or CAS).
โจ๏ธ Cheats to type
testingcheats true๐ General rules
- The household's life revolves around magic.
- Every member learns spells and gains XP legitimately โ through casting, potions, and duels.
- All members reach Virtuoso (**Neophyte โ Acolyte โ Adept โ Master โ Virtuoso**).
โจ Specific rules
- Manage each spellcaster's **Charge** โ letting a member hit Overload and die from it ends their part of the run.
- Spells are learned the real ways: from the **Sages**, by winning **duels**, or from magical tomes.
- The coven must number at least four Virtuosos by the end.
โ What you can do
- Earn spellcaster XP by casting, brewing potions and dueling; learn spells from Sages, duels or tomes.
- Use `bb.moveobjects`.
โ What you can't do
- No bloodline shortcuts โ don't just birth pre-charged spellcasters.
- Manage each spellcaster's Charge โ a fatal Overload voids that Sim.
- No cheats to skip ranks; no money cheats.

๐ฎ If you don't own the packs
Requires Realm of Magic for the rank system โ no base-game version.
๐ก Strategy tips
- Discharge Charge regularly (the toilet "discharge," or casting low-risk spells) so nobody creeps toward Overload.
- Duels are the fastest XP **and** a way to learn new spells โ pair coven members to duel each other safely at home.
- The Master Vampire... er, the **bloodline perk** passed to spellcaster children gives them a head start; plan births so kids inherit it.

๐ฅ Want it harder?
- No bloodline shortcuts โ every spellcaster must be taught from Neophyte, none born powerful.
- Each member must master a different magic school (Practical, Mischief, Untamed) first.
