What spells and potions are you expecting?

I'd love to be able to conjure food.

Block or reset aging.

Practical:

• Something to help gardens grow and evolve faster.
  
• Conjuring up a meal.
  
• Instantly cleaning up a lot or room.
  
• Banishing troublesome guests from your lot, including ghosts.
  
• Instant repairs to broken items.
  
• Teleportation.
  
• A spell that lets you speak to animals/familiars and have conversations with them.
  

Mischief:

• I'm pretty sure they've been deconfirmed, but transforming sims into toads was so awesome back in Makin' Magic.
  
• Bringing gnomes and lawn flamingos to life, bonus if they have individual personalities, like the Grim Reaper gnome trying to attack the others.
  
• You know what? Those fish and frogs you can collect can transform, too. Give us giant frogs and fish.
  
• Spells to change a sim's weight or muscle mass, just to mess with them.
  
• Enslaving sims through mind-control.
  
• Turning pets into humans, or the other way around.
  
• A spell to wipe away all moodlets. Sims 4's (weak) answer to Tabula Rasa, basically.
  
• Maybe spells to make items explode, destroying the item and causing fires in the vicinity. An evil sim could go onto a community lot and wreck everyone's fun.
  
• Spells to make a sim's clothes invisible. Not for anything dirty or anything. I just thought it would be funny to make them involuntarily streak. I have a really evil sim who would love to destroy reputations and cause endless misery.
  
• A spell to randomly change a sim's outfit, accessories, hair color and eye color. Now we have a backstory for all of those horribly-dressed townies.
  
• A stink bomb spell that makes sims stink.
  
• A bunch of jinxes to mess with people in other ways.
  

Untamed:

• Battle spells. I don't want magical duels to just be something we just sit back and watch. That can be fun sometimes, but actually choosing which spells to use would make the duels feel more epic and involves. Sadly, I don't think we'll get this.
  
• Raise the dead and make zombies.
  

Potions

• We have an eternal youth potion, but what about something in the opposite range? A potion that takes days away from a sim's current life stage, making them die that much sooner.
  
• Maybe an aging or de-aging potion, too.
  
• A potion that will turn the drinker to stone for several sim days. Bonus if there's a way to prolong this and essentially make it permanent, so I can have a garden of statues.
  

I'm not going in blind because we've seen the four-leaf clover potion, but I really miss the Lucky trait from TS3 and I'm glad luck is coming back in one form or another.

OMG I love this!! Hopefully we'll get some of these.

I also had the idea of turning animals into people and bringing objects to life. I'd love that. Turning people into objects and talking to pets would be awesome as well.

And zombies omg I would die for it. I know a lot of people hated them in Sims 3, but I loved it.

One I know of is Love Potions which you'll probably be able to buy in the magic store in the Realm.

There are 24 spells and 15 potions (that seems to be more spells and fewer potions than in TS3); it is nearly 40 so it is a good number in my opinion, especially if the spells are involved or complicated in any way.

Some spells we know of are as follows:

Inferniate — sets things on fire
Copypasto — copies things and can copy potions
Transformation spell — whereby sims can be transformed into an object or maybe a fish, but not an animal.
Conjure food
Fight other sims

Some potions that were mentioned in the blurb:

a love potion
an immortality potion
remove unwanted curses

Other features:
Various Familiars, including the possibility of selecting a family pet
4 branches of magic, including potions
Spells can fail leading to a sim acquiring one of the new curses
a spellbook in which spells and potions are recorded as they are learned
a new lifestate
Magic is not a skill but there is some form of progression with the different spells implied
broom riding as an efficient mode of transportation
Magic duels (shown in the trailer).

This all sounds great to me. I can’t wait to find out the rest. The main thing I am hoping for is magic that is costly, interesting, and has permanent effects (as well as some cool animations). A bonus would be some form of group magic which would make spells and potions stronger or less likely to fail. (It is sort of implied in the trailer, at least with potions, because there are 3 spots around the giant cauldron and they are sort of lit up).

The world with its two aspects looks wonderful to me too. I think the atmosphere of the hidden world will add a lot to the feel of the pack with familiars flying around and other NPCs casting spells. I think some of the familiars can perhaps be caught or found there as well.

I really hope they tie RoM and Get Together nicely. I want my covens.

Im curious to see the transformation spell, and I definitely agree spells should be costly.

I think there is going to be some sort of magical energy power bar (similar to the vampires’ purple bar) which is drained by doing spells. Apparently the use of familiars helps conserve this magical energy. But when I said I wanted magic to be costly, I also meant consequential. I hope spells take effort to learn and practice to master, as well as difficulty (in acquiring proper ingredients). In fact, I hope that without the right ingredients they won’t work so that sims must spend time finding and/ or cultivating them. I hope some spells or potions are permanent or long-lasting too (which it sounds like certain ones will be). One aspect of TS3 magic that used to annoy me was that some of the magic was so temporary (the Midas spell only lasted 6 hours for example), so I would prefer something more enduring in this game.

You can I think..(?) it was mentioned...
