Lifestate's Name in RoM

"Witch" is gender neutral.
Spellcaster is better because it covers different types of magic users. Quite a few of us expressed the need to not be confined to only Witches.

Now, if we are able to create those different types has yet to be seen. I'm still not sure if I will be able to create a Native American Shaman. The magic may be too commercialized. Depending on exactly how magic ability is increased, it may be too odd to follow a storyline if we have to go into the Realm very often.

Why they went out of their way to call these sims "spellcasters" when they could have gone with "mages" or even "magicians", I don't know. But I don't care either way, I've always called and will keep calling them witches, and that includes the males.

I think it was suppose open up diversity. Because "Witch" was only one type of Spell Caster, Wizards, Wiccans, Enchanters, Alchemists, Summoners, Necromancers, Elementals, Prophets, and Sorcerers. Although, It's still early to say weather or not we can make our own type of Spell caster, I still only see witches, wizards, and Alchemists, I don't know but maybe it does.

Maybe “magicians” sounds too much like a performer or illusionist while mages is a more uncommon, or fantasy term? I think they went for a fairly neutral, umbrella term. I don’t care what they are called; I am just glad we’re getting them in whatever form.

Well, in some lore a Mage is more of a "Grand Title" given to a Spell caster who has mastered magic.
I often compare a Mage to a Bishop of the Church.

My Sorcerer is going to several titles, But his style is Lord Kaegan Castor Archmage of Briarheart (Glimmerbrook will be playing the part of Briarheart)

In my story, Kaegan isn't the only Mage in the Kingdom, But he is the most powerful, beloved, and well experienced in all magic, and so he was made the head of a Council of Magic. And the Council enforces the laws of magic under the rule of King Henry of Briarheart, and handles Protection against both Magic and Mortal from those who seek to destroy the peace and balance they have established.

Precisely.

Um... Why would we have to go into the Realm of Magic?

Given we can have a cauldron in our houses we might need to only visit Realm to become a mage.

I certainly hope that there are other ways than the cauldron to raise magic ability. That would be a limitation on the Spellcaster.
How many times do we need to enter the Realm before we can "go solo" and what can we do? We have quite a bit of information, yet we really know nothing. :D
I'm trying so hard to not assume anything because I don't want to set myself up for disappointment. As info comes out, I'm altering the stories in my head and thinking about Plan B.

Besides as a mage you have a teleport stone to insta visit Realm anyway

Yeah I'm already assuming the worse.
I don't get it, My sim is the Equivalent Merlin, if not more powerful.
The Realm of Magic can't give him the potential he already possesses. My intention was to make him a Mage before I even Travel to this Realm and Conquer it for my own pleasure.

Only way to be a mage without visiting RoM is CAS
