can we not call it a dark side though?

Agreeing with sort of.
I actually don't like forcing players to become "evil" because they use certain spells.It hinders with my role-play style at least. Also because there is always a gray area and really what is "evil" changes from person to person. I'm cool with having different "schools" of magic or something like that but please let me decide if my spell-caster is good/evil/neutral based on their actions not the spells they are using.

Also don't make my sims change appearance automatically either. I would prefer if we as players got to decide in create a sim what exactly our spell-caster looks like (i.e the green skin suggestion)
I feel these are important to me mostly because I like the freedom of the Sims. if you force my characters in to a "good" box or a "bad" box then force their appearances change on me I'll be thrown from my story which I don't like. That being said the option should be there for those who want it just don't force anyone to play in that style who don't want to.

My personal recommendation is have schools of magic. I'm thinking based on the mystical elements (Fire,Water,Air,Earth maybe add in light/shadow i'm sure you get the idea) The schools of magic is the big idea though how you want to divide them up is not really going to bother me.

I mean... "Dark Form" Wasn't Bad for Vampires, It doesn't Imply it's an "Evil" Form, Vampires are creatures of the night and Shadows, and seek to survive, which means they prey on the living until their need is satisfied.

Sorcerers, Witches... Don't really have another form... they can take on any form they please if they know the spell for it...
Once Upon a Time Reference, In some lands, If your emotions get the better of you... harden your heart, build walls between those you love, Your skin might thicken Rumplestiltskin is an example of that. Jealousy, Envy, could make you Green like the Wicked Witch Zelena... But I don't want Sorcerers changing colors. Red when they're angry, Blue when their sad, or any other nonsense like that... would be too much.

I don't know... for me if it's possible I just want my sim's eyes to glow Ember when he casts a spell or in a fight against another, that's the only change I want to see in him, any other time he's an average sim. If it's not possible I'll just give one form.

My sorcerer is good, but the fact that he uses dark magic as well as light doesn't make him neutral or somewhat evil... maybe a little mischievous from time to time, but not evil. I just don't want a constant notification or have a great impact on my alignment if I use dark magic or light magic.

I would prefer not to go to a magic school or at least the magic school not be the primary focus. I have no interest in sending my Sorcerer to a magic school rather than learn Under His Grandfather Merlin, His Grandmother Vivian and his mother Julia.

If there is... Don't make it a "special lot," that I can't Hijack and make it into a home. I would only benefit From a big lot to build into a castle for my Grandparents, or even a Dominion under them. But how players want their sim to grow their power is completely up to them.
