Learn Where To Spend Your Talent Points for a Powerful Magician
Perks enhance your Spellcaster, offering fewer failures, new abilities and enhanced caster experience gains.
On each rank up as a Spellcaster in Realm of Magic, you get one or more talent points that can be spent on Perks. This is a guide to what each of those perks do for your Sims, so that you can better take advantage of the systems. It's worth mentioning here than Sims who have the Magical Bloodline trait get +1 extra perk point for each level up, no matter how strong the bloodline.
Perk Points Per Spellcaster Level
You do not simply get one perk point per level, but rather more as you attain higher ranks. Once you reach the highest level, your meter will change from ranking you up to giving you an extra perk point every time you add another 500 "witch XP". You start as an apprentice then gain:
Neophyte - 1 Perk Point
Acolyte - 2 Perk Points
Adept - 2 Perk Points
Master - 2 Perk Points
Virtuoso - 3 Perk Points
OverMax - 1 Perk Point
Perks: 3 Talent Trees
Perks have rank requirements. What I'm doing here is listing the 3 trees first. These all have prerequisites, meaning if you want the fifth perk you will have to take all four of them. The second section of this guide has the perks that have no prerequisites other than level requirements.

Single Spellcaster Perks
These Perks are all on the right side, and won't have any prerequisites other than rank. You can pick any of them you want so long as your Spellcaster is of a high enough level. Note, "Apprentice" is the first level but you don't start getting Perk Points until Neophyte. So gain the first level and you can begin to get perks.

I noticed that you keep earning points after all the perks are earned. Are these points good for anything?
Well no, if you have already bought all the perks then you can't buy any more! Over maxing is a thing so the points will just keep accumulating as you play.

As the guide says, you gain perk points as your Spellcaster ranks up.
