Cool Witches spells / potion effects ideas

Hoping for "RPG"-like spells
Think Elder Scrolls Online, or Kingdom Hearts

I wrote a Whole Spellbook, unfinished but things I'd like to see in the game. I wrote this thinking, a Strengths and Weakness System won't cut it for Sorcerers/Witches. So I devised a Spell book that works off of a similar system. The Spellbook is Built into the Sorcerer's UI, as well as an actual book in the Sorcerer's Inventory. Titled "{Sim's Name}'s Spellbook" when you read the book with your sim you can use Magic Points (MP) to unlock Chapters to learn Spells. Chapters are non-Linear, you can Start with Chapter one, and skip to chapter, Ten if you want, however some spells may have prerequisites Like some Curses (Chapter 3) need a background in Dark Magic (Chapter 2).
The Spell Book also acts as a memory storage. Every time you learn something new about magic, or your skill progresses, your book updates (And does transfer over the Gallery).
So should you remove your sim's book from their inventory, and store it in a bookcase, the podium next to the cauldron, or on their nightstand, It's advised to protect your book at all cost.
Should another entity read your book they may acquire your own power. It's like Identity theft.
Yes they can do magic now, but their power is not their own, it belongs to you.

Before reading it's important to note how magic should work:

Magic runs on 3 things:
Sorcerer Sim's Energy Need, therefore Sorcerer's do have double the amount of Energy than the average human.
Sorcerer's Emotions: certain emotions determine Success/Failure rates and Power/Weakness, while recklessness may result in fatality
Sorcerer's Familiarity: Sorcerers will be able to design a motif as they practice magic, and once establish a certain style it becomes their strong suit.
For example: My sorcerer is well versed in Light, Dark, and Fire magic, He's also skilled in Teleportations, Transformations, Enchantments, Alchemy, and Forbidden Magic (Heart Ripping).

Chapter III • Alchemy: Potions & Curses
To craft potions, and Curses you'll need a Stove, or a cauldron if you’re old fashioned.
*Again you can also get creative, and apply these Potions and Curses to Meals, Drinks, Fruits, Vegetables, you can also throw these’s at other sims, or consume it directly, so it doesn't necessarily have to be a Poisoned Apple that takes Snow White Down. It could be a Pumpkin Spice Latte that does it this time. Also we need Potions & Curses that do more than just change appearances, and fix needs, but also afflict emotions, and really do have an impact on Sims lives. I also tried to come up with ingredients that made sense and a little less flexible than the Sims 3: Supernatural was with Alchemy.

Chapter IX • {Working on this Chapter}
Thinking between Mythical Artifacts and another form of magic that isn’t really my taste.



Chapter X • Forbidden Magic
In game I was hoping for kind of like we go out into the worlds and find collectables, Ingredients we go out and find the “Hidden Pages" that we can add to the spell book unlocking the last Chapter, “Forbidden Magic." These Pages were written by the most powerful Sorcerers of Medieval Times, but then they hid them, because this magic was too dangerous. Do you dare put the pieces back together?

Extraction of Hearts - Carefully, Phase your hand into the chest cavity of victim, grabbing hold of the Heart, Finally pluck the heart, like an apple.
Once the Heart is removed, the Victim's personality will start to shift. Slowly not being able to feel, only knowing what they are, Heartless.
Congratulations! you now have a puppet to control, as long as you possess their heart. Careful not to squeeze the Heart too hard! Or go ahead see what happens to your puppet.
(makes voodoo look like child's play)

Resurrection - I have a few ideas on this. Where you have to steal the Grim Reaper's Scythe and use it to create a rift between life and death. the other option was, building a pentagram, and performing a ritual.

Time Travel - (not sure how this one would work) Maybe a "Time-Out" Spell, where you're sim can exist out of time, set the game timer on pause, and move about and manipulate the world around sims who are in "Time Out"

• live in a dark forest,
  
• live in a creepy tower or hovel,
  
• attain a familiar of my choice,
  
• make dark pacts for powers,
  
• create a book of shadows,
  
• harvest components to make potions, and...
  
• lure sims to their deaths,
  
• turn sims into animals for pets, and
  
• cast curses or blessing on sims for money or favors.
