Forbidden Spells

Last updated October 18th, 2024

Latest Patch Notes

10/18/24

• Fixed a very old bug where the Tomes store in the Magic Realm could randomly not work if it was supposed to sell a forbidden tome that day
• Removed "Brute Force Duel Options" addon and replaced the override with a new script; the tests are now properly added to the Duel for Knowledge interaction without any extra file or mod conflict. Please remove the old one when you update the mod.

This mod adds a set of new spells that even the Sages fear! These spells allow Spellcasters to spread pain and misery for their own benefit or just their amusement.

These spells all belong to the Untamed school of magic. Spellcasters need to be rank 4 (Master) in order to learn them, but not all of the regular methods will work. The Sages have tried to keep these spells a secret and won’t teach them to your Sims, nor will your Sims be able to discover these through normal practice. Some collectors may still have the old tomes and could be willing to part with them for a high price. Inflicting pain on others by winning a duel may allow your Sim to discover these dark spells. 

This mod requires the Spellbook Injector mod by r3m & Simsonian Library in order to show up in game.
