๐Ÿ“– 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.

๐Ÿ’ The goal

Raise a household of at least **four spellcasters**, every one reaching **Virtuoso** rank.

๐Ÿš€ 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).

๐Ÿ“‹ 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**).

โœจ 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.

โœ… 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.

๐ŸŽฎ If you don't own the packs

Requires Realm of Magic for the rank system โ€” no base-game version.

๐Ÿ’ก 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.

๐Ÿ”ฅ 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.

๐ŸŽญ Variations

A "school of magic" version where the founder is a Virtuoso teacher raising apprentices to replace them. ---
