I might cheat past this one.
You could make a witchy club and duel the club members? Pity that duelling isn't actually a club activity though *rolls eyes at the Gurus*

I don't have GT - the extra texting ('I heard you became friends with so-and-so') would drive me round the bend. One of my Sims did some magic training and got a curse removal potion as a bonus, so only one of them has the curse, now. I'm going to have to find the ingredients for that potion and brew up a few dozen bottles. (They both got cursed by over-duelling in the first place.)

Here's a nice little detail they added with dueling. I'm really into dueling right so much so that my sim has 2 curses and almost died from overload once.

First, cleanse that Curse! It's in your way.
While you don't need to befriend everyone to duel, I do find it handy to introduce my Sim to others in the Realm. Any grade of introduction will work to unlock the Duel interactions. I lost maybe as many as three or four duels, among my three needed wins. But then, I duel frequently for skill gain anyway. This with a Sim who was only an Adept at the time. The only hitch in his Aspiration is building him all the way up to the top rank, the name of which momentarily escapes me.

Believe me, I'm trying. Helly can make the potion, but needs citrine in order to do it, and no luck finding that.
It's having to do the introduction, then the duel that's a pain. Either someone else comes over and interrupts in between the introduction and duel, or the other Sim walks off. NPCs have the attention span of a squirrel. I finally cheated past that part of the aspiration.

My Sim managed to buy citrine from the computer? I'm not sure if the option to buy crystals from the computer came in some DLC or a patch though...

Looked for it on the computer, but I wasn't able to buy crystals there - only in the magic realm.
