I knew that magic was going to be either a skill for all sims to learn or confined to a new life state, and when those are the only two options, I'll always go with the latter because I wouldn't want everyone and their mother to accidentally become witches. It would be best if we could just have occult hybrids like in TS2, but alas, the game is already buggy enough as it is. I would have loved to have at least one supersim with magic, vampire, alien and mermaid powers combined!
