If we get witches, what magic would you like to see?

I'm hoping we get an Expansion pack dedicated to magic, spells, potions, rituals, and a variety of Spellcasters so we can play more than just Witches. I'd really like to be able to choose a specialized branch of magic, like Necromancy, Elemental, Flora/Fauna, Divination, Conjuring, etc. so we can choose what type of Spellcaster we want to play for each Sim. For example, I'd like to be able to make a Voodoo Mambo with Necromancy so she can raise the dead, banish ghosts, curse, create Zombie minions and other things. I'd like to be able to play a Druid who can manipulate plants and vines and speed up growth of gardening or ensnare Sims with vines and turn into a fox or a crow. I'd like a Wizard who can use the weather effects to create lightning, or summon fires or blow Sims over with a gust of wind. I'd like an Enchantress who can bedazzle Sims to do her bidding, bless a family with fertility, or change a Sim's emotions. I'd like to see cantrips like making a broom sweep the house, levitating objects, or getting clean with a snap of the fingers. I want a variety of potions that do all kinds of things like transform into toads, create a "dark form" like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, cause death into instant ghost, age a Sim, make a Sim young, and some mystery potions with unexpected effects. It would also be fun to have spells that can go wrong and backfire if the user hasn't advanced enough and learned it properly. I'd like cauldrons, spellbooks, crystal balls, wands, and staves. I'd like to see fortune telling like "throwing the bones", palm reading, and tarot. And I'd like a variety of familiars. I could go on and on...

There is so much potential in a Magic pack, and that's why I would prefer it to be an Expansion...because I really want the most we could possibly get out of it.

I think (and hope) they will go with the ''stereotypical'' witches (pointy hats etc) and the more 'normal/modern' witches like charmed.

I think if they take the vampire system and modify that one, where it let's you pick good/bad/neutral spells will really make the gameplay nice and diverse.

Being able to kinda mix and match the type of witch you want to become will be great. I really liked the good/bad witches thing in Sims 2, so I hope they will bring such thing back.

Evil Sims being able to make Sims sick, put them into negative emotions, curse them etc.
Good Sims being able to make Sims better, make Sims happy, Give Sims skillboost buffs etc.
Neutral Spells like weeding every plant on the lot, harvesting everything on the lot, cleaning the house instantly, fixing broken objects etc.

Witches are the only occult I really still want, so if it ends up like this, I think it will be fun.

• Toadification. Turns the targeted Sim into a Toad for X hours, when they turn back they have a random frog in their inventory.
  
• Power Surge. Breaks all electronics on the lot (unless item is Unbreakable).
  
• Curse of Burning. Sets targeted Sim on fire. Warms up SIms who are freezing to death.
  
• Curse of Freezing. Freezes targeted Sim. Puts out Sims who are on fire.
  
• Spectral Servant. Summons a spectral maid to clean the house. Disappears after 8 hours or if the lot is clean.
  
• Summon Familiar. Summons a magical cat to be your Sim's companion. Dismissed when your attention leaves the lot. Functions like a cat.
  
• Ritual of Reanimation. Target a Ghost Sim, bring that Sim back to life as a Zombie. Don't worry, they worked out the kinks and won't start a zombie apocalypse this time! (Sims 2-style zombie.)
  
• Magical Mentor Charm. Grants a Sim a +1 Happy moodlet that causes Sims to learn all skills as if they were being mentored. No substitute for the real thing, though, so they don't stack.
  
• Summon Sim. Teleports a targeted Sim to the caster.
  
• Curse of Chlorophyll. Causes a Sim to feed themselves to the nearest Cow Plant (if one exists).
  
• Handyman Hex. Grants a +1 Focused moodlet to a targeted Sim and causes them to be unable to fail at repairing for 8 hours.
  
• Arcane Infusion. Turns the targeted Sim into a Witch.
  
• Deep Slumber. Puts targeted Sim to sleep for one hour, and they awaken with a full Energy need.

I didn't play witches except a time or so in S3. It just wasn't my style and I really don't want them or any other supernaturals past mermaids, expanded Grim, and afterlife type of game.

However, if witches were coming, I hope more is in the pack that makes it worth it for those who don't like that play style. For instance, I did love the potion shop and my sims visited it daily at times. Some like leveling up, I don't. I did however love the best friend, sunlight potion(for vamps), live forever, and love potions. I'm usually not heavily excited by CAS/furniture ect., but on a pack that I don't care for, really versatile CAS, worn items, goth looking stuff, a great hood, and a bunch of potions would make it worth it. With so many asking for it, the idea of a wasted pack and waiting forever for more content is depressing, but if they put in stuff that could be used in the game elsewhere, it would be worth it. Like maybe addition of coconut looking huts, sleeping on rugs or papers, more cat interactions or stuff, sweeping, a magic mirror would be cool, weird pictures that change for walls(like the people to skeleton), gnarly trees, more plants, ect. I understand that many want it, but if they make such a pack, please choose versatile content that can be used when not playing witches.
