This is incredibly awesome. Though to tell you the truth, I haven't been able to get it to work-- and yes, I downloaded the 'magicskill' file, too... I'm assuming it's because of all the mods I have on my game. My question:

Do you happen to know which mods are incompatible with this? If you don't, that's okay; I usually can figure this out on my own, with a lot of trial, error, and creative swearing. ;D

EDIT: Okay, so it works now. Just not on certain lot types-- I can't get it to work while at my Secret Society, for example.

TO MODDERS IT MIGHT CONCERN:
I thought of a great mod, and thus am requesting... is it possible to tweak the witch spells so that a witch of any alignment can do any spell?
Just putting this out there, since I didn't want to haggle at any of you wonderful modders out there.

Ok, what about suitable objects to cast spells on? They need to be in the same room as your sim is. Clcik on your sim and select the option Magic.../ Mischief.../ Disappear Furnishings. Otherwise, I have no other ideas.

I don't know about this.. Since EA is going to relase AL that contains its own official magic stuff..

The wand looks cool, but adding another skill to the game doubted me. :D

Echo,
I've finally attempted to make more spells, but I can't seem to get it working. I'm modifying the "echo_magicwand_socialobject" as I'm trying to get more"Bless" options. The problem I'm having is that my pie menu option doesn't appear ingame. Any help would be appreciated!

Could you make more spells like maybe levitate sim or something that would be just so awesome!

" ** Update 20/11/2007: As pointed out by fireflies, there is a chance that furnishings which are being levitated may PERMANENTLY DISAPPEAR!. The chance seems to vary from machine to machine. It looks to me like this is an issue with an EA global function for ghosts, and so I can't do much about it short of a global hack."


When you say permanently disappear in your uote do you mean the object dissapears from the game or just the house hold. I mean if I go to buymode catalogue will I still find the object there.

thanks, great idea by the way

The object will vanish from the lot, but you will be able to replace it from the catalog.

Can someone make Magic Wand useable for children,PlEASE?Or to create some hack from sims 2 apartment life so children can become witches and warlocks.I think that's really stupid that children can't use magic,in sims 1 making magic they had magic.

flygon357, the wand has to be in the Sim`s personal inventory.

So, anyway, want to say two things, one:
If the wand isn't working, That happened to me when it went into my sim's inventory, Try these things: Put a bookcase, chair, or Rack-Held TV in the room, Then try dissapear furnishings, or Indiviso as the modded download calls it. If that DOES NOT work, then here's what I did, download the modified version I think four pages behind this that is posted, and then delete the magic wand from the sim's inventory, and reput it, and don't forget the principal of Equivalent Exchange: You need to have a sim with the mind power (an Adult) and a skill for the magic talent (DA_magicskill.rar) to equivalently exchange for the magic spell (The wand casting).

Two:
Levitating furnishings, or "Wingdarium Leviosa" as the modded download calls it, Sometimes, not just can dissapear furnishings, but also can rotate them.

And BTW: This could work without Irresistability (blessing of being able to look at in a sexy way with green thumbs on their feet and a hearty head) if you just don't have nightlife but have Bon' Voyage? I have both, pets, and am about to have OfB and Seasons.

Hmm... I'm not sure how the modded version would work and the default one wouldn't... The stuff that actually makes it work is unchanged! You do need to have a sim with sufficient skill before it will work though!

No idea about the irresistability spell. You can try it I guess? Is it the same effect for both spells?

I can't just uninstall NL, but anyway, You really need to make it Child-Usable, and try making a levitate sim spell or a spell where you select an Object when the wand is in his hand, and then it does an action such as... I don't know, Flip over, hopefully to a chair a sim is on! Chair-er Coaster!

The reason this isn't child enabled is that the animations for spell casting were made by hand, and they're easily the most time consuming part of this hack for me. I gave myself 6 full days to make the whole thing, and I spent two of those days making the animations for the adults. I'd have to spend that long again making the equivalent animations for the kids, and it's quite tedious work.
