Should Sorcerers be immortal? I personally don't think so, I think they should have double the life span of a Human.
I'm thinking they could have the ability to put part of their "essence" in a special box, sort of like Horcruxes. Then as long as that box exists, they are immortal. If it gets destroyed, they start aging again.
I'm not sure about the functionality of such a box beyond that though. Like should it be something that other Supernaturals can destroy? And if so, should it only be something the player can choose to destroy (ex: player Sorcerer destroys NPC's Sorcerer box)? Or should there be a chance of it getting destroyed by some other consequence that is more random and volatile?
I was thinking, more along the line of an object, the Holy Grail. I didn't get too far into Harry Potter to know the full details about Horcruxes.
when a Sim drinks, nectar or water from the enchanted cup they are granted:
Immortality - Live forever.
Invincibility - from fire, lightning Water, or emotional death, nothing can kill them
Eternal Youth - Freeze aging.
and to humans - could grant them the Arcane Trait.
People forget Immortality and Eternal Youth are two separate things. you can live forever but that doesn't mean you are forever young.
I was thinking of talismans and conduits, objects that store your Sorcerer's magic, it's like the Book of Life, except it's not a one time use. it's a entity that constantly takes note of your sim's progress.
I think a spell book should be the Sorcerer's Default Conduit.
but if the player wants, there are other optional conduits, When they start buying/collecting wands/staves, their buy a Cauldron, after they enchant their broomstick, or Magic Mirrors
these other objects can also be used as talismans.
it should be noted other sims can get hold of the sorcerer's talisman, (After they reach a certain level in Arcane lore, and is able to identify it as your main talisman and know how it works) they can absorb the sorcerer's current powers.
if the Talisman is destroyed or is no longer durable and breaks the Sim's the Arcane Trait will be disconnected' Your Sim will lose all ties to their magic, in someways you are now mortal.
