So, some thoughts:
Firstly: I really, really hope that if the lifestate is witches, that they implement a similar system to vampires; you can make the witch you want as you work on magical ability. However, I would far rather magical sims gain aptitude and ability in different kinds of magic, as opposed to having more positive or negative presenting qualities or powers. Simply put: a magic system that allows your sim to use magic to their character; powers not determining if a sim is "good" or "bad", but rather the way they are used being a determining factor (think along the lines of reputation in get famous or character values in parenthood).
Second off: I would hope (and prefer) that the cas and build/buy vary pretty greatly from the style of vampires. Even wicked witches feel as though they and their clutter would be a bit warmer and cozier to me. Could there be dark, Bellatrix Lestrange like sims in the world? Sure. But should every magical sim feel that way? I certainly hope not. I'm more on the Harry Potter/Halloweentown vibes for our magical friends.
Lastly, and maybe this is more than I should hope for: I'm currently wishing for a new, magical-themed neighborhood... however, as a player since the makin magic days, I would really like almost a rabbit-hole world. Visitable of course - but something almost like Sixam? Ideally more in-depth, but I think that it acting like a diagon alley and being where magic ingredient and item acquisition was localized, would help a residential neighborhood in the pack feel more relevant to the other worlds, while still offering the ability for us to build that same idea in the new neighborhood, while keeping it more relevant for those who don't have a lot of interest in magic to make it more accessible for us all.
Cheers!
Love the idea, and totally agree. With the new pack I hope to see zero recycled content, and a totally new system for witches! Focusing on the world: I would love to see a swamp/marshy section, a woodsy fairy cottage section, and maybe a bustling town for occult needs, similar to diagonal alley!
