Hiya all I'm seeking help with the art of magic mod, basically it needs a mesh creator to make a writing and research desk, a animator to create new spell casting animations and spell researching animations, and general help with the xmls, this project has grown quite large now and help writing the xmls is definitely needed. The new spell system will be 1 you learn spell elements by researching them in the magical theory books (each book will grant a different elemental knowledge when fully read), Then you can create a magical thesis on the elements at the new spell research desk, after this you can combine thesis at the spell research desk to create new spells. This is subject to change and if you have a different idea it will be weighed and discussed by the members of the team, in fact all aspects of the mod will be subject to new ideas, from what spells to how you learn them. If you love magic reply here or send me a pm to join  . |

Sounds like the start of something amazing! Can't wait to see what you create! If I were more skilled in meshing and animation, I'd offer to help, but instead I'll settle for being a patient observer. |

I know nothing about coding or writing Xmls at all... But I'd be happy to help with meshing and maybe animating If I get to learn it :P. But mostly meshing . |

@mathscope that would be awesome Ill let you get started on the magical research desk, in essence the sims will sit at the desk to write thesis, practice elements, and read tomes of arcane lore, otherwise let your creativity flow I cant wait to see what you will create Ill be contacting you with my email address shortly also even though its all xmls at the moment Ill be sending you a copy of the mod . |

First things first we need to get all the spell ideas in and together so I can begin writing the skill xml I just tried making it and realised for the level up message we need a list of the spells lol, also working on the level up and max level screenslam's (love that word) for the skill. |

Interesting list I love the concept so far. I've never worked with "Object Animations" before so I'll have to learn that first, as an alternative we can create a custom book that increases the "Spell" skill when Your sim reads from it. PS: I'll be fully active starting from june. that's when I finish this university's semester. Some spell ideas:
- Fire & Ice Blasts from Ts3
- Make Fat/Thin/Muscular
- Deprive/Fill Needs
- Turn sim into a frog? *this will transform the sim into a frog object in a tank*
- Turn Sim into a doll *this will transform the sim into one of the "My Sims" action figures

Thanks for the ideas Dramatic they have been added to the proposed list, the shift power has options to make fat/thin/muscular, the ice blast is definitely going to be added provided we can get the frozen animation to work without the simray, As for the deprive and fill needs, its a good idea the arcane blast spell actually lowers the targets energy, the fire blast spell deprives the target of hygiene, maybe the ice one could lower a sims bladder or something?. Turn sim into a frog or doll is Brilliant, if we can get the sim stored and the item spawned it would work, maybe we could even extrapolate the frog from the tank so it just sits on the ground, we will have to see what we can come up with, cant wait to see what the others say . |

I just wanted to say this is such an awesome project you are undertaking. I am working on making the sims 3 alchemy potions somewhat functional for sims 4 with some similar effects. I am also making some weird magical ingredients for use in the alchemy potion making. Ultimately I will want to make an Alchemy skill too! I will be following this thread :D
Also I can help with meshes and some xml and basic script coding.

This sounds like a fun project. I'm not around as much lately so I won't make promises I can't keep. However if anything I have made would be useful feel free to use it. I'd love to know if you do. Good luck everyone |

I converted the frog heads from TS3 to TS4. This can be useful in the "toad spell" |
