Best: CAS

Sorry to butt in but most of that CAS isn't from Realm of Magic? Her hair is from Island Living, her dress is from City Living and I'm pretty sure the weird eyes are from Vampires and I think his hair is also Vampires? or Moschino Stuff. The only ROM items I can see is his outfit and her facepaint

It's a picture showing some sims I made with some CAS items from Realm of Magic (bracelet, makeup, full-body outfit). I still think the CAS items from RoM are very good. If you have vampires you can create some very fantasy-looking spellcasters, that's what that picture mostly shows.

For me the spells and potions are very lackluster. I think it really shows if you have all the previous expansions. A lot of the spells/ potions you get are things you can already do, just from other packs, like copypasto is from the Get to Work cloning machine etc.

You wanna reset you current age? Great! Now you got one (actually two with very little difference) spellcaster potion, but why? There is a potion from the reward store (and lots of in-game ways to do that already).
Nothing new or exciting.

There is no real incentive or reward specific for a spellcaster that would entice you to make/ play/ have one.

Why not a potion to increase the likelihood of triplets? Or a potion for attracting aliens? A spell for changing a sims look (like into a frog with a cool down), turning a sim into a (permanent?) ghost with a tombstone or why not even a spellcaster? Why do all sims have to go and talk to a sage when my own (other) sims are super overpowered and actually more skilled than the sages?

The gameplay isn't really there in general.

And let's not even get started on the "customisation" you can do looks wise. Hello vampires! (Again) basically.

I like the world and the concept as well as cas and build buy, i also love the lore of the pack and the premades, they all look like they had some backstory (they were the first premades to get relationship poimts between each other, right?) I like overpowered sims, and they are really powerful, like some think it's too much and makes the game easier etc., but i don't feel like cheating when I use a spell to revive someone, I couldn't find any way to interpret how the sims get those drinks from the reward store, but with spells I can tell. The animations are great too. You could edit the building in Magic Realm and put there activity objects, i don't think it feels so empty after doing that.
Familiars had too much potential, they could had been better. But even now when I try to play with them on, the simulation slows down and the sim sometimes get stuck, which is annoying. I was hopikg for some classic spells/potions from ts3 (midas touch :")) but no luck.
