Hey everyone! This is just a little summary of everything that's mentioned in the Bird Legacy about magic. It won't tell you anything important that the legacy doesn't already mention, but it will be updated as the Bird family learns more.
I would suggest that you don't read any further if you're not completely caught up with the legacy as there will be spoilers!
How do you identify a sim with magical powers?
Sims with magical powers will have unusual hair colors. Their hair color will either be completely unnatural (blue, green, etc.) or a more extreme version of a natural hair color (bright red, yellow, etc.).
There is only one exception to this rule (see "Seers" under "Interpersonal Magic").
Some sims are born with a small spark of power. They don't have enough magic to use it alone, nor do they have a particular magical specialty. If one of these sims is determined, ambitious, and not especially moral, s/he can steal others' powers. The stolen powers last for about a few weeks, at which point the true owner of the magic regains his/her powers, and the thief loses them. Thief magicians have normal hair colors and are therefore harder to identify.
How is magic inherited?
Magic often runs in the family, but sometimes a child born to un-magical parents will randomly have magical powers.
What kinds of magical powers can a sim have?
Note: Sims cannot have more than one natural magical power. The only sims with more than one power are those that have stolen from other sims.
There are four types of magic that a sim can have: Interpersonal Magic, Elemental Magic, Inorganic Magic, and Magically Enhanced Abilities. Within these larger categories are individual specializations, each represented by its own hair color.
Below is a list of the known magical specializations, which category they fall under, and their corresponding hair color:
*Interpersonal Magic*
-Healing/Destruction: blue hair
Sims with this power are able to heal other sims, but they also have the ability to use their power to destroy other sims. Both healing and hindering the health of others can be very draining however, and these sims can easily overexert themselves and die.
-Charisma: dark purple hair
These magically charismatic sims can influence other sims' actions and thoughts. They are dangerously persuasive and may use their powers without realizing it. They are generally popular sims.
-Sensitives: pale pink hair
Sensitives deal with emotions. They can sense what other sims are thinking and feeling. They can else tell the difference between the truth and a lie, and will see through all disguises.
-Seers: normal hair color
Seers have visions of the past, present, and future. They are unusual in that their hair will not be an unnatural color.

*Elemental Magic*

*Inorganic Magic*
-Cloth: teal hair
Sims that specialize in cloth are able to mold clothes into whatever shape they desire. They are especially good stylists and delight in being around well-made clothes. They can also imbue clothes they make with various charms and magics.
