ROM: Magic As Skill Or Life State
The options are: 1. Magic as a skill that everyone including vampires and mermaids can learn 2. Magic as an exclusive ability of a new life state separate from humans, vampires, etc.

The main problem I see with magic being a skill is that skills can't be unlearned, and since sims constantly try out new stuff on their own, everyone will be a witch before you know it. It already annoys me how many of my supposedly technophobe grandpas become hardcore gamers while I'm not looking, I don't need the same with magic. I wouldn't be opposed to different kinds of magic coming as different skills as long as they're only available to witches and lost upon turning back to regular humans.
Everyone else can get a skill similar to Vampire Lore, which teaches them all about magic, witches, and their history without enabling them to use magic themselves. I think it would be interesting if we got a new aspiration about just that - learning everything about witches, but without necessarily becoming one, unlike the aspirations from Vampires which all require you to actually be a vampire.
