ALTAhriman: Now, let’s see if this thing works.

ALTPyritie: Who’s that?
Cassandra: Dunno, let’s find out.
ALTCassandra: Hi! I’m Cassandra.
Grey: Hi, I’m Grey.
ALTCassandra: You don’t look very gray.
Grey: No, silly, it’s my name.
ALTCassandra: Yeah, but you still don’t look very gray.
ALTPyritie: Cassandra, may I remind you that you named me, a purple dragon, after pyrite, a yellow metal.
Cassandra: But you were supposed to be a golden dragon.
ALTPyritie: Supposed to!? 😤
ALTCassandra: Are you a spellcaster?
Grey: No.
Cassandra: But you’re occult?
ALTGrey: Yes, Grimborn.
Cassandra: So… A skeleton?
Grey: I don’t think so. I kinda have skin and organs. Dad has skin too, but I’m not sure about organs.
ALTAzrael: Grey.
Cassandra: Hello, Archangel Azrael.
Azrael: Someone did their homework, but you can call me just Azrael.
Cassandra: How about Psychopomp Azrael instead? Or Santa Muerte? Or Dödsängeln?
Azrael: Cassandra, titles are growing out of fashion, call me Azrael.
ALTAzrael: Grey, I got a call. Could you stay here while I’m away?
Grey: Sure, I want Cassandra to show me some cool magic.
Azrael: Be careful. I’ll make sure that someone crafts you an amulet later.
ALTAzrael: Of all the places I could’ve been called to…
ALTAzrael: Oh well.

ALTKeisha: Joanna, in which cardinal direction are we walking right now?
Joanna: South.
[[MORE]]Keisha: Could you be more exact?
Joanna: South-west. South-south-west?
Keisha: Could I have less guessing and more thinking?
Joanna: Okay. South-west.
Morgyn: South-south-west.
ALTMorgyn: That looks like an interesting herb. I want to take some with me.
Keisha: Do you know what it is?
Morgyn: No, do you?
Keisha: No, but it could be poisonous.
Morgyn: I’m not gonna eat it, I just want to take some with me. I recently started to study Herbalism.
ALT
ALT
ALTKeisha: So Morgyn has started to study Herbalism, and how’s studying going for you?
Joanna: I’ve read the whole Tome of Scruberoo, so now it’s time for hands-on training. And I’ll start to study the Tome of Delicioso next.
ALTMorgyn: Wait, I want to take a detour, let’s go north-west here.
Keisha: You want us to turn around?
Morgyn: Only 121 degrees.
Keisha: Very well then.
ALTKeisha: How come you wanted to take this route?
Morgyn: There’s a Herbalist living north of the mountain chain, but there’s a passage in north-west.
Keisha: North of the mountains? That will take us an extra day or two, just so you know.
Morgyn: Good thing we’re not climbing the mountains then.

ALTLacey: Hi, Keisha, Morgyn and, I don’t think I’ve met you before. I’m Lacey, the forest ranger. Sorry to interrupt your conversation about the fish on the wall.
[[MORE]]
ALTJoanna: Nice to meet you, I’m Joanna, a spellcaster of Practical Magic. We were also talking about all the insects and frogs in captivity.
ALT
ALTLacey: I understand your concern, but they’re here to be rehabilitated.
Joanna: Does that go for the fish on the wall too?
Lacey: No. You and I might have different views on this and I can absolutely see why you’d find it wrong to mount a fish, but taxidermy is used for preservation and education.
ALTJoanna: But this is a nature reserve.
Lacey: There are different types of nature reserves. In this one biological diversity is important, so if one species is about to take over, we have to do something about it to not risk any other species going extinct.
Joanna: I see. I guess that makes sense.
ALT
ALTLacey: If they know how to set things on fire they sure must also know how to put out the fire… Right? They’re a Sage’s Apprentice, they sure must know what they’re doing…… I hope they don’t set the forest on fire.
ALTJoanna: Earlier today, Keisha said that there are other ways to understand nature than being able to communicate with non-simoid creatures. I guess I fell into the trap of thinking of spellcasters as smarter than sims. Which is hypocritical of me. I was born a sim.
ALT
ALTLacey: We’re all a bit hypocritical. I don’t think it’s right to kill, but here I am, eating meat for lunch, and I can’t defend it with biodiversity. Speaking of which, I’m sure that a spellcaster forest ranger would solve overpopulation of a species in a different, and likely better, way than me.
ALTJoanna: I heard from Keisha that you’ve been thinking about becoming a spellcaster yourself.
Lacey: I have, but I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s probably not the right path for me. But who knows? Maybe I’ll change my mind one day.

Subclasses of Spellcasters
We already know from the official lore that there’s three types of spellcasters, but I’ll be adding a few more and getting rid of a canon one lol
First of all, forget about Moocasters, I do not intent to use Cowplants, such silly things, I love them but they’re a little too unserious for my storyline lmao
Spellcaster
The largest percentage of the casters, they’re your standard occult, that can learn one or all four types of magic: Practical Magic, Mischief Magic, Untamed Magic, and Alchemy.
Mooncaster
The ones who channeled the power of the Moon against the Moon Brothers’ will and became the first werewolves.
Ether Spellcaster
Believed to be the first Children of the Sun Goddess and the Moon God, they can create magic from nothing, they do not required a source nor materials to cast magic, unlike normal spellcasters that require ingredients or materials for potions and spells, or something already existing to change into something else.
Natural Witch
They’re sort of special humans that are able to sense and bend the laylines of magic that exist between Fae'Ilu and Atan'Ilu. Their magic is much more limited than spellcasters. Regardless of the gender, the human will be called Witch, the word has no gender, just a meaning. They have spellcaster blood in their bloodline.
Unnatural Witch
Another class of humans that cannot perceive the laylines of magic but have study and learned the magical properties of materials and unlocked the ability to brew potions and cast weak spells through rituals. They prefer to be called Scholar Witches.
To be added…
