I don't mind the potion making being a part of the pack, but if I'm going to buy a witch pack there better be magic in it, not just herb brewing in a caldron. I want witch fights and magic being used quickly when needed. I don't want two witches to duel but have to wait a few hours to gather herbs and mix them in their caldrons. I don't want some watered down version of the weird old woman who lives alone in the woods. Thank goodness they didn't water down vampires or we would never get any other occults because no one would buy such boring characters. The past versions have sold well because they were exciting and not boring. I see no reason to change now. Add to, yes. Delete, no.

Yeah Duels need to be more, epic... as well as Potion and Curse crafting in my opinion

It's not going to be like vampire fights, where it's physical.

I have high expectations with Duels. using multitasking to it's fullest.

I want to see Sorcerers, using the entire room/Building/lot, if not Neighborhood when Fighting, Dodge, great distances, chases, searching, make use of their surroundings. maybe even a more than two person fight 3 vs 1, teams, groups, free for alls.

what I don't want to see is two sims standing in feet apart throwing spells back and forth.

I want to see If my sim throws a fire ball and the other sim gets out of the way whatever wall or object, or tree is in the line of fire combusts into flames, or breaks.

I also want influence in duels, sure my sim should use the strongest spells he knows in a duel, but Maybe the power to queue up spells Like in a conversation almost, what spell he should use next in a duel.

Like Am I really going to wait for you to cast your spell, so I can cast mine after you? Absolutely not, depending on the fight, If its a fight I know I can win, sure I might toy with them, but if it's a fight with a very powerful enemy, I'll need to be cleaver, and I'm going to fight to get the upper hand, but as soon as I have it, I need to be decisive. make no mistake, hesitation with magic could cost you dearly.

So They Need to take styles of Fighting with magic into consideration.
and Fighting with other Life States.

In my Stories, MY sorcerers and he not only exercises his magic with his sister and mother, but he and his werewolf best friend also spar together, So i would love to see the lengths of fighting between other life states.

how a sorcerer vs werewolf would go. My sorcerer would try to evade all physical attacks, slip out of Tyler's Grasp in a cloud of smoke, and appear else where, dealing fire and lightning.


And with Potions or Curses, In my opinion when Mixing things in the cauldron the animations were so poor.

I loved the look of Lord Vladimir's Cauldron, But I hated the animations that came with it, and the chemistry lab station

-what's with the giant ladle? it's very dramatic... not in a good way...
clapping after making a potion?
the confetti animations?
why does the sim stir with bad posture?

it's a disgrace.

And I want Potions and Curses more than Need Fixers, life State Swappers, or appearances.

They Said Use magic to better Your own life, or Worsen others, But magic never accomplished that.

now that we have somewhat believable emotions, and With the use of Aspirations. with the right incentives we could accomplish such defeat.

-Curse of Infertility - A curse that will ruin the chances of a couple ever conceiving a child it would make the woman barren and the male sterilized. only one has to drink the curse. once they realize they can't have a child together. If their aspiration in life was to Be a big happy family, or have successful lineage, they'll constantly be sad that they can conceive. and angry at the person who cursed them.

You'll need enchantment skills to do this, enchant a mirror of choice, imbue it with enough power and you can imprison a sim inside the mirror creating your very own custom magic mirror. The face of the mirror, will be the sim you imprison.
