The Sims 4 Realm of Magic sees the return of the perks panel with twenty-four perks your Spellcaster Sims can choose from. Of course, this all depends on the kind of magic you want you Sim to learn.
The Spellcaster Perks will really allow your Sims to harness their Magic and become the greatest Spellcaster in Glimmerbrook.
As your Sim practices magic, learns new spells & potions or by taking part in Duels against other Spellcasters, your Sim will earn Spellcaster experience points. Once your Sim maxes out the rank bar they will be awarded Talent Points and progress up to the next rank.
Spellcaster Ranks
There are a total of six Spellcaster Ranks and when you first become a Spellcaster, your Sim will be ranked as an apprentice.
The other five Spellcaster Ranks are as followed:
- Neophyte
- Acolyte
- Adept
- Master
- Virtuoso
Every time you level up your Spellcaster Rank, you will be rewarded with Talent Points to spend on Perks.
Spellcaster Perks
“Perks contain a variety of helpful ways to increase magical prowess. As one gains more experiences and titles they also gain Talent Points. Invest wisely. Your Spellcaster rank determines what perks are available. Perks attached with a line must be purchased in order from the bottom.”
When you first start as a Spellcaster, you will not have any perks selected and your perk screen will resemble the one above.
As you begin to master more and more you are able to choose which perks fit your Spellcaster. While the perks on the left-hand side need to be purchased in order from the bottom the perks on the right-hand side can be purchased in any order providing you are of the right Spellcaster Rank.
Once your Spellcaster Sim has earnt their fair share of Talent Points, your Spellcaster Perks panel could look a little like this. However, there are numerous perk combinations that you can have too.
Remember: If you are not happy with the Spellcaster Perks you have chosen, you can use a Potion of Perk Purging to reset them and select the ones you want again.
