Summon Acquainted
I have a Sim who has reached Level 9 in Magic Skills, but is an absolute failure at Summon Acquainted. It works maybe 1 time in 10. Is this part of the gameplay, or am I missing something? Also, should he need to review a spell every single time beforehand? If he doesn't he seems to only be able to do Fire and Ice. Seems an odd system.
(I have EPs: Late Night, and Supernatural, plus Midnight Hollow which is where this Sim lives)
