Curses!

Encouraged by her trusty familiar in the form of a Raven named Fred, Willow tries out the potions she has learned by drinking them. She hasn't tasted them all but the ones that really help her are the Good Fortune, Plentiful Needs and Emotional Stability to name but a few.

Part of a Witches training is also to duel in the Magic Realm, either for knowledge, ingredients or just for the fun of it. Duelling helps with her knowledge of magic, pushing her orange bar up a little further but of course winning is the name of the game. Although Willow has managed to win a few of these duels, gaining magical knowledge in the process, she sometimes loses.

They say you can't have too much of a good thing but unfortunately for Willow, you can.

Even though she is getting stronger, she is not strong enough to cope with all of this power. Taking too many potions and losing a couple of duels in a row can take it's toll and this, in turn, curses our evil witch.

Willow is now stuck with two curses. One for taking too many potions and another for losing too many duels. The former causes her hygiene level to sink to rock bottom where no amount of showering will help at all. Even taking the Plentiful Needs potion will at first push her hygiene up but only for a short time. The stench causes her to “drip” green stinky puddles all over the floor inside and outside of the home. To make matters worse, the latter curse, the Curse of Awkward Embraces, causes her to hug people which is rather embarrassing for her and also for them.

The only way out of this is to learn the recipe for the potion of Curse Cleansing. And to ensure that she doesn't get hexed again, she needs to become more powerful in order to “earn” a few more points to “buy” Spellcaster Perks, namely, Hexproof, so that she never gets cursed again.

Have the Neighbours Been Gossiping?

 

As stated before, Willow likes to have a party or two. Unfortunately for some Sims, they turn up to the party but never leave. However, are the ones that do get away, gossiping to the neighbours?

Since Willow moved in to Glimmerbrook, half the neighbourhood has disappeared. This, I imagine, would give cause for concern to anyone living in this magical neck of the woods. Questions should be asked and investigations made.

Fortunately for Willow, in The Sims franchise, we do not have the police knocking on the door asking around for these missing Sims. Of course Willow wouldn't be able to place their gravestones in her garden as ornaments and trophies of her shenanigans as the presence of these would give Willow away.

This is probably why one neighbour, who obviously drew the short straw, calls to see Willow to find out what is going on.

As usual, Willow is friendly and invites the poor neighbour in, even offering him freshly made Pufferfish Nigiri.

One would beg the question, how long can this go on for?

We Got 5 This Time.....

As I mentioned in my previous post, a witch's job is not just to cast spells and brew potions but the garnering of items to create those potions is a must.

In this episode we see Willow continuing her quest for magical items such as crystals, plants and frogs. Experimenting with the cauldron allows her to find new potions and thereby gain more knowledge in her magical endeavours. As she gains more knowledge and experience, she becomes stronger magically.

All of this takes time, energy and a lot of work and as they say, all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, or in this case, makes Willow a dull witch. So playtime is a must for busy witches and inviting a few friends and neighbours around for dinner is something that Willow does on a regular basis.

Her speciality is preparing Pufferfish Nigiri for her guests who seem to tuck in quite enthusiastically. Unfortunately for the guests, the quality of the dish is poor but they still eat it. Maybe they don't want to offend the host or maybe they're just stupid. After all, they continue eating even when they see other Sims around them dropping dead all over the kitchen floor.

Inferniate

 Episode 3 of The Glimmerbrook Witch shows how far Willow has come in her magical endeavours.

Fire played an important part of Willow's previous incarnation where she would put the Sim to sleep with a sleep potion and then set them on fire.  Her fascination with fire continues in her present life, especially as she has now learned the spell "inferniate".

This spell does what it says on the jar (or in this case, the spell book).  Of course, as with everything in life, you reap what you sow and this extends to Sims.  

Any spell can backfire and unfortunately for Willow, it does.  However, this lady's not for turning, or should I say, this witch is not for turning because no matter what happens to Willow, albeit through her own deeds, she will not be deterred from her evil ways.
