This system is from the Realm Of Magic Game pack. Unlike normal skills, spellcasters progress through a rank and perk system. Casting spells, brewing potions, duelling, and practicing magic all earn Spellcaster XP, which increases rank. Each rank unlocks new spells, perks, and abilities, letting you customise your spellcaster’s playstyle.
Spellcaster Ranks
| Rank | XP Needed | Unlocks |
|---|---|---|
| Apprentice | Starting level | Access to beginner spells and potions. |
| Acolyte | Low XP | Unlocks first perk points. Learn new spells from Sages. |
| Adept | Mid XP | More potent spells, access to advanced potions, new perk slots. |
| Master | High XP | Unlocks strong spells, such as duplicating objects or cursing Sims. |
| Virtuoso | Max XP | Access to ultimate spells and the full perk tree. |
