I wonder what it means when the video shows the three sages and below it says not all images appear in game. Are they just talking about each house of magic sigil and it won't be like a plumbob or do they mean that sages are randomly generated and won't look the same as they are in the video?

It means the visual animation. Holograms of those Sims won't be displayed randomly in the air lol.

Now an important thing to know is how do we get charges? Do we have to cast x amount of spells? I mean knowing how many spells we can cast before dying is important... I'm going to get Discharge as my first perk just so I won't have to worry long as I dispell myself during overcharged.

My guess is that anything magic related, spells or creating potions might fill the meter, maybe depending on the type of spell?

Also I caught a few perks

Off top my head...

Untamed/Mischief/Practical Expertise: X School always succeeds when in normal charge.

Discharge: A new self interaction is to dispell your Charge (one rank..? All of it down to Normal..???)

Something I forget name of but it's above Discharge: Your meter charges more slowly.

Looks great. Spellcasters get both an ability tree and a spellbook. I imagine the magic (lower case, no trademark) enthusiasts are pleased, and they should be. Good for you all; you certainly waited a long time to get it.

Thanks <3 hope we'll end up loving it as much as you love your vampires!

Perks!

Sages are NOT playable and if you marry them or anything of that sort then they lose their Sage status and another Sage will be chosen.

I believe you are right just like moving in Father Winter into your household will make him lose his status, but you can still probably have kids with them which would make an intresting story. I plan on befriending one of the sages and making a story where the household goes and visits the sage, but they never offically join the household. This will enable the family to have a sage as a founder of the household and in the bloodline. I'm pretty sure you can get sages to drink immortality potions so they can maintain thier place as sage and not be replaced if they arent immortal already.

I didn't know that Father Winter could lose his status! Does someone else take his place? Do they have the same name?

Another Sim from the world (random, I believe) gets the Father Winter trait/flag and the one you've added to your household becomes just a regular human. There's always A Father Winter in game but the names may vary (I think also if the original one happens to die?)

Yes Father Winter can lose his status if you move him to a new household and a new one takes his place with a different name. I've heard from other simmers that Clement Frost was father winter for the 1st Winterfest and then a new person was Father Winter for their 2nd without them doing anything at all.

Thank you both for the information! How interesting and fun!

This pack looks really good, and I liked the trailer a lot.

I just can't believe the difference in quality from Island Living (an extremely shallow $40 dollar expansion) to this (what could be a well-worth $20 gamepack).

Yes, even I'm tempted. SimGuruNinja and others did a great job in my opinon on the vampire pack so if he was over this one and those who really thought hard about the vampire pack I might break donw and spend some money on this as it seems interesting at the moment.

Give yourself a month before buying and see if you still feel the same. ?

I can't wait for October 15th (Xbox forever ?) for Realm of Magic to come out. From what I have seen it could be the best pack yet. And oh boy, I have a whole month to plan my game play (Sarcasm?? Jealousy?? Maybe a little...)
