The trip to the Heart of the Village was pretty uneventful, as I would expect for a Day 1 before the relationships between my sims get going again. However, I did spot Demetrius - Etan’s current heir - turning down a compliment from a god, then getting shocked by his uncle Hudana.
Rivadya, who’s the closest to elderhood here, took the opportunity to lecture Hudana about it. Guess they won’t be flirting much after that?

While researching the transmutation death in The Sims 3. I found this beautiful image on the wiki.
I was definitely not researching this stuff for any sinister purposes.

TMAGP 21 thoughts, spoilers below the cut
“What if Alice is right about how fucked up the OIAR is?” I mean fuck, dude, she probably is
“It’s fine I can just quit if something tries to murder me” Sam that won’t help with the whole “monster trying to kill you thing” that’ll just make you unemployed in addition to being about to die
When Celia said she had a “complicated immigration status” I fucking cackled like girlie you are never beating the universe hopper allegations
Also yeah why did the OIAR not notice that she probably has next to no legal documentation of her existence? Like I get them being more lax than other government organizations but this is a whole other level
tbh it’s probably because Lena was like “eh fuck it this isn’t even in the top 70 weirdest things I’ve seen” and let it slide
“I wouldn’t be able to take Jack with me if I went back” Does this mean she knows how to go back?????
MAGNUS INSTITUTE CHESTER STATEMENT
ooh this is some alchemy shit
POLITICAL RESOURCES? did the institute have fucking plants in the government or did they just have, like, lobbyists?
love how this guy is like “we need stop being Christian centric when choosing the date to our fucked up eldritch ritual guys”
I’m sorry, a UNIVERSAL TRANSMUTATION? as in transforming the entire earth or even the whole universe???? Dude what???
The fucked up ritual in question is called the Dome Project, which judging only by the name sounds like they’re trying to make Flat Earth real, which is fucking hilarious
ok they were allegedly trying to create a utopia but every “utopia” is flawed so the question is how did they fuck this one up?
Oh damn they were trying to create a perfect“final state of society” that never changes. Even without the eldritch bullshit that’s a terrible idea just look at like every dystopian novel ever (and also the game slay the princess, which is built around the idea that change is a necessary component of life and has Jonny Sims voicing a lot of the dialogue)
I love how this guy’s best argument against bringing the world to a stagnant state is just “but we’re alchemists, guys, change is our whole thing :/”
Was I the only one who thought “et al�� was pronounced like “et all” or is it just me? Or is it a regional thing?
Wait was their plan to actually just build a big ass dome to house a “perfect society”?
Oh shit they had actually already started construction.
Of course they were exploiting workers to build this “perfect dome”
THE DOME IS REAL????? (It’s called the millennium dome, don’t just google “dome project” you’ll just find a bunch of unrelated shit about business models and stuff)
WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU DON’T KNOW HOW LONG THE DOME WILL BE THERE? Isn’t that a major safety issue?
bro thinks the place is supernaturally contaminated and he’s probably right
Oh boy it’s also contaminated with heavy metals the real danger here is lead poisoning
I’m sorry what the fuck??? Construction guy got cloned by some dirt in the site and then his clone just fucking yanked him into the dirt? Clone didn’t even bother to replace him
lol statement writer just went “tldr we shouldn’t do our ritual here it’s fucked up enough as it is and incorporating a stagnant utopia into our eldritch ritual is dumb and we shouldn’t do it”
Alice has realized that Freddy is purposefully giving Sam Magnus statements
GIRLIE DID YOU JUST DELETE IT FROM HIS CASELOAD???
oooh shit she got caught by Lena
“haha Sam’s computer keeps malfunctioning so I tried to fix it and he definitely gave me permission hahaha ANYWAYS when are we getting a new IT guy?” smooth, Alice. Smooth.
Oh shit where’s Gwen? She’s late coming back? Lena doesn’t know where she is????
Ink5oul probably got her
Was that a .jmj error noise I just heard?
Oh fuck we actually get answers to the Gwen question and she is in fact running from ink5oul
Jesus this chase scene is actually scary, I’m impressed. It’s kind of hard to unsettle me this much without involving one of my actual phobias. Nice.
Also I had to google what trash polka is, turns out it’s a really cool tattoo style that’s simultaneously photorealistic and trippy, usually done in black, white, and red.
Oh shit Ink5oul can mess with tattoos they didn’t do
oh fuck they caught Gwen
Hey why is Gwen monologuing like those corpses?
[ERROR]? Where have you been, loca?
WHY IS THE MAGNUS ARCHIVES THEME PLAYING UNDER GWEN’S STATEMENT MONOLOGUE?
The transcript describes [ERROR] as “a nightmarish specter of an older world” and I’m not sure what to make of that yet but they sure are possessive of their victims, apparently. Judging by the fact that they said “there is more” I think they’re targeting either anyone with institute ties or anyone in the OIAR. Maybe both.
Love that Gwen just fucked booked it instead of sticking around to witness whatever that whole [ERROR]/ ink5oul interaction was
I’m glad that [ERROR] didn’t kill ink5oul tbh I like them
THE TAPE RECORDER FUCKING BIT THEM IM CACKLING
The Magnus Protocol sure is a podcast

Episode 28 thoughts
WHOAH ok buckle up
What car does Trevor drive 🤔 and did they make this bet after hearing the murder carriage case.
Hey Alice, uh, slipping out right before your coworker gets attacked is a little suspect, but it could just be setting up finale character placements so you’re probably fine.
On to the main event:
Oh Sam. All he wants is to be intellectually recognized, to the point where he’s put into multiple dangerous situations. And the creature who does want what he knows only wants to dredge up the trauma from his mind.
Speaking of those traumatic events…hell yes. The skeleton wants to be free. [funny story I got a picture of my actual skull on monday for a medical consult. Lmfo] I liked this story! It has the energy of a field trip gone wrong, but even the mundane bits were packed full of details that foreshadow or connect to the wider narrative. When shit hits the fan, we’ve got some nice visceral [wet] imagery. There’s also another nice parallel between Sam and TMA Jon here, the “Hello” setting off an unforeseen chain of events. And an honest-to-goodness Johnny Sims Zinger^tm at the end!
Also this was a great vocal performance 10/10 no notes.
Speaking of details about Magnus Institute works…Yellow light? Two older women? A chair? What was Welling trying to do? Was that a body hopper? Huh?
What I’ve figured out from comparing this episode to TMAGP 21 is that there seems to be a sort of a magnus institute brotherhood/gn with various sects, all trying to ‘transmute the great work’ or ‘achieve universal transmutation.’ (In Magnus’s time, only personal transmutations had been proven.) Welling was in the more popular sect it seems and led the team investigating the millenium dome (january 1998) before his [death? de-ossification?]. Episode 21 was a letter by a concerned objector in a different, more constellations/zodiac/(astrology?) concerned sect. Potentially the same interested party that asked for the constellation map looking east from a specific property in mag 27. Whatever the kids+chair situation is may be another magnus institute project entirely, or connected to one of the above sects in some way.
(Tmagp 21 also mentions that the magnus institute has political sway in England. Not sure how this translates to the 2024 tmagp government)
GOING BACK TO FIND WHO SAM? Find answers? One of your pals that you canonically have a guilty conscience over? A secret third thing? HMMM?

CAULDRON SORCERY - POTION TRANSMUTATION SKILL
This was one of my favourite occult mods I have made! I made this back in 2020.
This mod has lot of gameplay which i love for my spellcasters!
Link
Also this year, I think I will not make ANY spooky content ( and like previous years will not take part in simblreen).
Instead I have marked October as a month to make stuff for my occult sims!
Last year I made a bunch of occult tacos and this year i will make some gourmet/fine dining food for my vampires, witches, werewolves and mermaids.
There will be human versions of these dishes too! I have ideas for some cool drinks for occult sims but I dont know if I will get time!

──── ⠀ 𝖺𝗇𝖽 𝗇𝗈𝗐 𝗍𝗁𝖾𝗋𝖾 𝗈𝗇𝗅𝗒 𝘢𝘴𝘩𝘦𝘴 𝗈𝖿 𝗍𝗁𝖾 𝖽𝗋𝖾𝖺𝗆𝗌 𝗍𝗁𝖾𝗒 𝙗𝙪𝙧𝙣𝙚𝙙. . ✶⠀ ᵗ ᵃ ˢ ᵏ
⠀⠀⠀𑁪ㅤׅㅤ۫ 𝗍 𝗁 𝖾 𝖿 𝗂 𝗋 𝖾
A ilha repousava em uma quietude quase sagrada, com ondas sutis formando-se na costa e o reflexo do luar enfeitando o corpo d'agua com prata. Apesar do sono, costumava acompanhar Maresia algumas noites para observar seus cochilos, hábito de quando era apequenado. Antes, o dragão enrolava a cauda em seu braço e torcia o pescoço para aninhar-se na curva de seu ombro, mas pelo tamanho absurdo, agora limitava-se a aninhar-se no chão, com Aeolian repousada sobre a tez escamosa. Para distrair os olhos cansados e pesados, ela manteve-se atirando pedrinhas, observando-as quicar algumas vezes e afundarem.
Do lado oposto, cresciam labaredas, nascidas de origem desconhecida mas famintas como feras, devorando as paredes de pedra até engolir o que houvesse no caminho. Quando tomou a maior parte do castelo, dilacerou também a escuridão habitual com um clarão implacável, iluminando os arredores e criando matizes entrelaçadas de laranja e amarelo na água, bem à frente de Aeolian.
Com passadas erráticas e o coração disparado, lembra que seus olhos se arregalaram ao avistar a destruição. Não lembra, contudo, de quando voou com Maresia e alcançou o pátio, onde ao invés de recuar, ela acelerou, correndo contra a maré de pessoas que escapavam desesperadamente. Seu pensamento era somente um: recuperar a coroa de flores que seu irmão Ciella havia feito para ela no aniversário, a última lembrança palpável de seu tempo juntos.
Naturalmente, foi impedida por alguém, que, vendo sua loucura, a segurou com firmeza. "O que está fazendo?! Não pode entrar lá!" gritou, enquanto ela debatia-se como se cada fibra do seu ser estivesse em chamas junto com as paredes.
"Me solta! Me solta agora, ou-!" irritada, cravou os dentes sobre a carne de seu captor, preenchendo, dado momento, de sabor ferroso a língua, e carmesim partes dos lábios. Se um dia houvera lucidez em Aeolian, ali havia esvaziado-se como água.
O braseiro estralava cada vez mais forte, e o calor crescia cada vez mais insuportável, com fagulhas voando para todos os lados. A imagem das chamas resplandeceram em seus olhos raivosos, sabia, no fundo, que a coroa, tão delicada, já devia ter sido reduzida a cinzas, com as chamas levando consigo não apenas o edifício, mas as últimas recordações de seu irmão. O que restava, então? Apenas o vazio crescente em seu peito. Por fim, cedeu à força.
Fogo devorou tudo, e os dragões dançaram em fuga através da fumaça.
Quando o sol despontou no horizonte, o que restou do Instituto eram apenas escombros fumegantes, e apesar da notícia do diretor ter gerado considerável choque, o pior haveria de vim depois — o Cálice dos Sonhos havia desaparecido. Aeolian, sempre tão segura, sentiu o par de pernas vacilarem, como se o chão tivesse desaparecido sob seus pés. Mas não permitiu que o medo a tomasse por completo.
Ela caminhou até um local que julgou seguro, onde seu corpo finalmente cedeu ao peso do que vivenciara. O estômago revolveu, e ela vomitou, sentindo-se vazia, traída pelo destino. O alívio era fugaz; pois sim, seu pai, tudo que a restava da família, estava ao seu lado, mas nada poderia preencher a ausência que sentiria do Sonhār e da sua outra família que lá tanto a bem-queria; não há amor possível que possa substituir outro. Aos bocados, a ansiedade que crescia transmutou-se em tristeza, e então, em uma raiva surda.
Dias depois, a ordem do Imperador veio como um golpe final: seriam obrigados a se mudar para Ardosia. A transição, uma obrigação imposta, parecia um exílio, longe de tudo o que conhecia e amava, cada vez mais afastada do único laço que ainda a unia ao irmão, ao Sonhār, e à sua própria identidade.
⠀⠀⠀𑁪ㅤׅㅤ۫ 𝗍 𝗁 𝖾 𝗂 𝗇 𝗍 𝖾 𝗋 𝗋 𝗈 𝗀 𝖺 𝗍 𝗂 𝗈 𝗇
Em uma das salas úmidas e pouco iluminadas no subsolo de Hexwood, Aeolian sentava-se diante de uma mesa de madeira que parecia tão antiga quanto o próprio castelo. Os oficiais à sua frente tinham expressões frias e profissionais, mas não o suficiente para mascarar a tensão que pairava no ar. Com a ponta dos dedos, ajeitou os cabelos platinados, que caíram de forma elegante sobre seus ombros, e lançou um olhar lento para os homens que aguardavam suas respostas, seus olhos com cores divergentes cintilando à luz trêmula das tochas.
A primeira pergunta veio com uma formalidade quase penosa. Ela inclinou a cabeça, um sorriso irônico dançando nos lábios. Poderia mentir e alegar um estado mais neutro, evitando presunções, mas que culpa teria ela se este fosse incapaz de fazer um trabalho decente ao invés de apegar-se a primeira criatura sem papas na língua que cruzasse seu caminho? "Distante o bastante para que pudesse assistir ao espetáculo de luzes sem ser queimada viva, mas perto o suficiente para ouvir os gritos. Fascinante, não acha?" O oficial pareceu vacilar, mas manteve a postura, mirando-a agora com certa desconfiança e impaciência.
Coçando a garganta, ele prosseguiu indagando-a dos companheiros, como se fosse capaz de lembrar dos comportamentos de outrem, se sequer lembra-se o que digeriu no café de mais cedo. "Ah, claro. Todos estavam com um comportamento incrivelmente... normal. Então, sinto desapontar, mas não notei nada de espetacular." Aeolian ergueu uma sobrancelha, seu tom soando levemente condescendente, tamborilando a sequência de dedos calejados no braço da cadeira que a pertencia.
Apesar de mascarar a escassez de respeito que resguarda nada sutil em relação aos homens à frente, não pôde evitar bufar levemente quando o rumo pareceu cada vez mais desrespeitoso, e a pergunta fosse uma piada privada. "Os dragões são criaturas de instinto afiado, e sempre sabem mais do que nós. Agora, se está insinuando que um dragão foi o culpado, lamento dizer que os dragões são mais inteligentes do que isso. Se um deles estivesse por trás de algo, não restaria nem este porão para vocês me interrogarem." Como a cria de um ventre podre e qualquer ousava sujar com insinuações absurdas como essa, a reputação dos seres que evitavam a ruína deste lugar?
Sonhos? Aeolian fez uma pausa, desacredita acerca da junção de palavras que passou pelos seus ouvidos. "Senhor..." Ah, claro, com certeza, ela pensou, tive uma visão mística vinda diretamente do inferno, que previu todo o incêndio e mesmo assim permiti o único bem que restava de meu irmão virar cinzas. Cruzando as pernas, barrou quaisquer possibilidade de mais veneno derrapar da ponta da língua, retomando às rédeas, e limitou-se a dizer: "Não, não tive."
Uma risada seca, presa entre a goela e a boca fechada, induziu a atenção dos olhos do entrevistador a ela, que cruzou os braços, inclinando-se um pouco para frente, seus olhos fixos nos dele. "Acreditar que foi um acidente é conveniente, não acha? Eu, por outro lado, sou um tanto cética com tragédias que acontecem tão... oportunamente. Quem se beneficiaria? Bem, certamente não os estudantes que viram suas vidas virar cinzas."
Aeolian exalou lentamente, sua paciência começando a se esvair a cada nova questão que não parecia rumar a lugares aproveitáveis. "Quem quer que deseje desestabilizar a ordem e provocar o colapso de nossa conexão com o Sonhār. Talvez vocês já tenham uma lista de suspeitos, mas prefiram fingir que isso ainda é uma investigação neutra." Ela se levantou, o som das botas ecoando na sala. "Agora, se não se importam, tenho um dragão para cuidar. Não vou perder mais tempo respondendo perguntas que vocês já sabem as respostas." Apesar de ter sido impedida na porta pelos guardas, estando entre a cruz e a espada, o interrogador, contrariado, somente acenou com a mão, também parecendo impaciente com todo acontecido e as sessões infindáveis com os changelings, permitindo que saísse, deixando para trás apenas o som de seus passos e um rastro de irritação velada.

Been thinking about all the food/drink/hunger/physical consumption stuff going on in Protocol again, and it hit me that I've thought about fae food and I've thought about Persephone and Hades and I've thought about the apple and the serpent in Eden, but something I haven't thought about is transubstantiation and a really horrible twisted parallel to the Eucharist, and in combination with the whole alchemy / transmutation thing + Albertus Magnus being a Catholic saint + Albert's student Thomas Aquinas kinda having assembled a bunch of the philosophical framework used to justify the concept of transubstantiation + Jonny Sims' noted enthusiasm for the subject of cannibalism, that kinda feels like it might have been an oversight.
and I'm not actually sure where my brain is going with that yet but wherever it is, boy oh boy do I wish it wasn't.

What A Butterfly School Of Thought🦋
Hey y’all especially @sxcmilf88 tell me what you think. No holds barred, I have a showcase coming up.
(Set up: The concept of the poem is transformation through trials and tribulations to transmute a caterpillar into a butterfly. I call it:.)
What A Butterfly School Of Thought🦋
“I swear sometimes the world is wishing me malice, just consistently beating against me__ like I can do no right.”
So left to pull from reservoirs deeply stored within my lessons of life. Finding self trapped within the cases racing amongst racist. Railroaded amongst pigs, residing and resorting to: colluding, demanding, abusing, but never confusing when to start reproving and choosing to remain wise by sim-ply opening eyes and staying si-lent in open cases??
“I swear sometimes the world is wishing me malice consistently beating against my chest, and I can do no right. But then I call remembrance to thy aid, reach into my lessons pull the blessings and see this __ as just advanced age! Age of being willing, and willing to sustain such a remaining temperament in advanced grades! Grades out thinking suppressivly thought thought streams for a multitude of glorifyingly, abhoring the form of the lower side of me. Until Eh-lah is who I see when I am eyeing me__ Thus, relatively speaking: I’m just putting in these exhaustive days sauntering down hallways in this majestic school of life, built it.”
A school wrapped so tight, excellence is stratified and quantified through your mental exercise of might! (Still think you can contain the light? Ugh, well I’m… 🤷🏾♂️) Don’t worry time will expose those many opportunities and in these schools you’ll reach many schools amongst the schools of thought?.? Forever valuing the value you bring as we strive in building first persons personification of perfection firm and taught, Through my frame of thought, the propensity for man’s excellence��.? Ohh just, a simple reframe__ on such a frame of thought! Sheik say we call that: recalling the glory of the Auuuuught! You know that takes active reformation, so you practice-ing him taking, then add a new form you lat-er, so instead of plight you start replacing. Using new keys you start retracing: Yourself back into of the mindsets of those who were once facilitating the relation between man and his creator!: Call That ISLAMISM! And sho nuff we “Built that!”
“I swear sometimes this world is wishing me malice __ constant with the challenge to beat and use that lower self. As I’m striving for the balance for me to choose, even provided opposition for me to use, as I peruse down that middle road onto my chosen self. Deep scars showing consistency with perseverance is how I’m instructed to remain beating me into my higher rose’n self. Cause work is worship, and today we’re working on worthless characteristics of this Here once perverted person. Guess I’m on chopping blocks while chopping ahk’s <NO JABBA WAKZ#> heh still! While offering self as the sacrifice. Through believing I was trapped and desolate, revolving around the souls of broken men, thinking I could do no right. But then I call remembrance to thy aid, reach into my highest self.
… Recognizing my need for transformation, I spread these wings, and I take this flight.” 🦋

"A viagem é curta. Não se distraia. Não perca tempo.
Não carregue bagagens desnecessárias.
Aprenda a viver com pouco. A ser autossuficiente.
Seja uma boa companhia pra você. Só então, escolha alguém pra viajar contigo.
Tenha um destino, mas permita-se se perder de vez em quando. Mude de rota sempre que se sentir desconfortável.
Não tenha medo dos imprevistos. Confie em seus instintos. Aprecie as surpresas do caminho. Sinta novos aromas e sabores. Ouça novas músicas. Dance. Acorde cedo pra ver o sol nascer. Silencie durante o por do sol. Estes são os momentos em que a natureza medita. Há muita energia positiva circulante. Transmute.
Mantenha o olhar curioso de uma criança. Acredite que, a cada esquina, o mundo pode te surpreender. Observe. Escute mais do que fale. Converse com estranhos. Com todos que puder. Não tem problema se não dominar o idioma. Deixe o coração falar. Olhe bem nos olhos deles. Veja a diversidade mas, principalmente, a humanidade. Permita que eles te vejam. Sorria.
Aproveite também a viagem pra olhar pra dentro; pra se conhecer. Abra espaços pro descanso. Crie locais de afrouxamento para os teus apertos. Deixe fluir as emoções. Inspira. Respira. Solta. Deixa ir.
Lembre-se sempre: você está aqui só de passagem. Portanto, capriche nos instantes. Eles, sim, podem ser eternos."

Meet the Cast: Astrid Axton
Hair | Eyes | Eyebrows | Eyelashes
Age: 24 Life State: Spellcaster Sign: Pisces Career: Conservationist (Chief Sustainability Officer) Residence: Henford-on-Bagley Traits: Activist | Funny | Gloomy | Goofball | Green Fiend | Music Lover Aspiration: Spellcraft & Sorcery
1. Dress | Heels | Jewelry 2. Dress | Earrings
"Divinely beautiful": The meaning of the name Astrid. Chosen deliberately, Astrid always saw who she was, and who she wanted to be, and just as always knew that she had the power to bridge that gap. Born alongside her twin brother, Jason, the two were raised by their proud Spellcaster parents, Adam, an apothecary owner, and Beatrix, an environmentalist, who were sure to inundate their children in the rich cultural offerings of their ancient and powerful bloodline, and the twin prodigies honed their craft from infancy. While encouraged to embrace their heritage, Adam and Beatrix also taught their children the importance of discretion, and protecting themselves and each other from the world.
As Astrid came into herself, and came out as trans at an early age, she was thoroughly supported by the loving and enthusiastic Adam and Beatrix, much to the chagrin of Jason, who began to feel neglected as his twin quickly found her path. While Astrid explored her mother's ecological studies, Jason began experimenting in untamed magic, deviating from his parents' guidance and forging a path of his own. As Astrid formed relationships, culminating in a romance with high school friend-turned-lover Cassandra Goth, Jason isolated himself, retracting from society. In their senior year, when Astrid and Cassandra won prom queen as their high school's first gay couple to do so, Jason left the school in a rage, utilizing his powers to set the family house on fire before disappearing into the Magic Realm, never to be seen again. Some accounts say Astrid followed him, and they dueled; others say she still searches for him.
In modern nights, SimNation seems to have tracked a series of fauna blooms throughout the land on an unspecified path. Some say nature is making her claim; others tell rumors and myths of witches traveling from San Myshuno to Selvadorado and back casting spells of growth and health, and encouraging Sims everywhere to get back in touch with nature and with themselves. The world doesn't quite know who Astrid Axton is; but legend has it, deep in the Bramblewood, exists a being that can heal any ailment, tell the future, and transmute life and death itself.

"It should not be my responsibility to make the world a better place. That should be shared. I'm not going to sit here and pretend that I'm choosing to do this. There simply is no other choice. We either coexist, or we all die."
Featuring creations by @sentate @savage-sims @mablystore
Catch Astrid in the Transcendents series premiere, coming soon. Astrid's story will be expanded upon in Bitchcraft, a prequel miniseries set to air after season 1 of Transcendents.

Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to Stats Equalized!
The show where we equalize strength, speed, and durability to decide who would win a battle of hax, skill, and versatility.
This Month's Fighters....
Delsin Rowe vs James Heller!
Conditions:
Good Karma Delsin
James does not have his powers from the DLC
Scenario:
Delsin shows up in Manhattan to stop the second Blacklight outbreak, mistaking Heller for another Mercer's infected minions.
Analysis: Delsin
Seven years after Cole sacrificed himself to stop the Beast, the few Conduits that remain in the US have been labeled as Bio-Terrorists by the government, seen as inherently dangerous due to their incredible powers. As such, the Government created the Department of Unified Protection, a group of government sanctioned Conduits tasked with hunting down and imprisoning "Bio-Terrorists".
With full government authorization to do whatever is necessary to contain a threat, the DUP has no problem inpounding and torturing innocent civilians, to the point of brutalizing an entire Native American tribe and leaving them to slowly die of their wounds.
Unfortunately for the DUP, this act of brutality just pissed off one of the most powerful Conduits in history, Delsin Rowe.
Delsin Rowe was the mischievous outcast of the Akomish Tribe, a lovable delinquent with a knack for graffiti and a gift for parkour. This all changed when a Conduit escapee came barreling through his village and Delsin's own Conduit powers awoke to copy the escapee's. When the DUP brutalize his village looking for the escapee, Delsin gets the idea to use his new powers to heal them. If he can copy the powers of the DUP leader, Brooke Augustine, he can remove the concrete shards stuck inside his fellow tribe members.
On his way to avenge his family and save his home, Delsin copies a whole host of superpowers from other Conduits. From the first escapee, Hank Daughtry, he copies the power of Smoke. From the vigilante killer Fetch Walker, he gains the power of Neon, and from the closted shutbin Eugene Sims, he gains the power of Video, each with a huge variety of powers.
With Smoke, he can blast fire out of his hands, superheat the chain around his wrist for combat, turn into smoke to dash through objects and vents, fire smoke grenades, levitate with firey thrusters, create smoke restraints, and even sufficate you. He even shows the ability to manipulate this power on the molecular level, able to transmute people into smoke for him to absorb and turn his smoke into organic matter to heal people's wounds. He can even go as far as to turn himself into a giant bomb, drop from the sky like a nuke, and explode on contact with enough power to sink a concrete island. After which, he just regenerates from the smoke like nothing happened.
With Neon, Delsin can turn into Neon light to dash at lightspeed, run up walls, toss gravity grenades that leave people helplessly hovering in the air while frozen in time, turn his chain into a lightsaber, speed up his reaction speed so that everything moves like a blur to him, shoot neon lasers out of his hands, and reduce human beings to neon particles through Mass Energy Conversion, making his targets explode into Neon energy.
Video, which might more accurately be referred to as Data, allows him absorb and manipulate the pixels and data from any technology with a screen. With it, he can summon angels and demons made of pure data, shoot homing swords from his hand like missles to down attack helicopters, fly on wings, and even turn invisible.
And, of course, there's Concrete from Augustine herself. With it, he can shoot massive disks of stone out of his hand, cover himself in armor and charge through all your defenses, and even generate concrete shards inside of your body, completely nullifying a Conduits powers and potentially damaging vital internal organs.
The problem with all of these remarkable abilities is he has to pick and choose. He can only use on element at a time and to switch, he has to absorb an element from the environment, just as he does whenever he runs low on his energy and needs to recharge. Hell, he can only take Concrete from the dead bodies of other Concrete Conduits, so he wouldn't be able to use it in a fight at all in most circumstances. And, every time he copies a power from a Conduit, all of his powers get completely sealed off until he restores them with Ray Field Energy.
Overall, Delsin is one of the most powerful and versatile Conduits the inFAMOUS universe has ever seen, rightly dubbed the "second coming of Cole" by his adoring public audience.
Analysis: Heller
It had only been fourteen months after the first Blacklight Virus outbreak had ravaged Manhattan. Fourteen months since New York City begain putting itself back together and its people began to truly live again when the second outbreak struck. Alex Mercer, once the begrudging savior of New York, had completely abandoned his humanity. He'd seen the selfishness of humans and grown disgusted with it, prompting him to unleash a second strain of Blacklight on New York. Deadlier, faster, stronger. This new strain would burn humanity down so that Alex could rebuild something from the ashes.
This attack would leave Sgt. James Heller without a family. He would come home from his tour overseas to find his wife and daughter dead. Stricken with grief, Heller would request reassignment to the front lines of the Manhattan quarantine, hoping to go down swinging to join his family in the afterlife. What he'd get instead was a once in a lifetime shot at revenge against the man responsible. Heller would go at Mercer with nothing but a knife, successfully slitting Mercer's throat.
Unfortunately, this is Alex Mercer we're talking about, so he just regenerated. Impressed with Heller's unrelenting determination, Mercer would transform Heller into one of his "Evolved", allowing James full access to all the powers granted by the Blacklight Virus, while still allowing him to keep his higher brain functions and humanity.
Mercer would attempt to manipulate Heller into helping to bring about his new world order, but Heller would eventually see through his tricks. This would backfire in the worst possible way for Mercer, as James Heller had nothing to lose and wanted nothing more than cold blooded revenge.
James Heller has all the powers you could expect from the Blacklight Virus. He can regenerate and shapeshift down the cellular level, allowing him to regrow from nothing but a puddle and shapeshift himself into any weapon he could possibly need. He can turn his arms into blades and claws to slice apart tanks, create spiked shields that can reflect rockets, grow armour to become completely bullet proof, and turn his arms into whips to pull helicopters right out of the sky. He can even alter his body's density to allow him to glide through the air.
And, like any good bioweapon, Heller can assimilate anyone he touches, copying their genetics and memories perfectly, allowing him to shapeshift into them and even copy their powers perfectly. Using this trick, Heller would devour his way through the ranks of Mercer's Evolved lieutenants, copying all of their powers. He can summon Hunters, giant bio-organic monsters that can crush tanks with their punches, to assist him battle, unleash the Blacklight Virus as a gas, and unleash massive Devastator attacks when he has enough biomass stored within him. Such as the tendril barrage Devastator, which shoots tendrils out of his body everywhere, absorbing everything within a mile radius of him.
Despite having a loud, bombastic temper that would put Kratos to shame and not being good with technology, Heller is a very intelligent and strategic fighter. He has all the combined experiences of every marine and Blackwatch soldier he's absorbed on top of everyone Mercer has and he's smart enough to see through Mercer's bullshit when he tries to string him along. He's frequently able to play the military, Blackwatch, and Mercer's Evolved against each other when he needs to and is skilled enough to take on groups of Evolved at once, many of whom have his same powers.
But despite his monsterous powers and quick temper, Heller would not lose his humanity. He would spare his former commanding officer after learning he too has a daughter and would go out of his way to protect the pastor at a local church. Heller would not succumb to the inhumanity that Mercer had. Not when he had a daughter counting on him. When he learned his little girl was still alive, he found the drive he needed to overcome Mercer once and for all.
The nightmare was over. The infection was gone. And Alex Mercer was dead. Only one question remains for James Heller and his daughter. What now?

Throwdown Breakdown:
This fight is very similar, yet simultaneously very different to Cole vs Alex.
On the one hand, Delsin could resist the Blacklight's assimilation and infection abilities much as Cole could. He should be immune to the disease much as Cole was, because being immune to disease is a trait applicable to all Conduits. That's why the Beast believed only Conduits would survive the plague. Furthermore, Delsin is not transmuted into Neon energy be Fetch's attacks, despite her clearly trying to kill him in their fight, meaning his molecular structure is likely endurant enough to, if not resist, than at least slow down the assimilation process.
I argue this because both powers, while fairly different, share a fundamental simularity. Transmuting one type of matter into another. Heller absorbs and changes DNA down to the cellular level, but Fetch's neon powers would be effecting Delsin's molecular structure at a much more fundamental level, as would be required to transmute a target into neon particles. If Delsin can resist getting transmuted down to the atomic level, he should be able to handle getting transmuted down to the cellular.
The problem arises when you realize Delsin has no feats of resisting mind control. Meaning if Heller infects him with Blacklight, he could win by simply taking contol of his brain. But, that leads back to the above issue. Heller would need to infect him first and Delsin's conduit physiology likely won't let him.
However, Delsin has no counter to James's shapeshifting and disguises. Without Cole's radar sense, Delsin cannot identify Heller when he transforms into another person, giving James a viable ambush option.
However, Delsin's regeneration is superior to Cole's, as he can come back from being reduced to smoke. Without the option of assimilation, Heller will struggle to put Delsin down and will have no option but to eat away at his reserves. Sure, you can argue that Delsin may have to absorb elements from his surroundings to maintain that level of regeneration, but even in that case, Hellet would still have to eat away at his energy reserves overtime to outmatch his regeneration.
So, how does Heller fair against each of Delsin's power sets?
Concrete should be manageable. Concrete might be able to nullify a Conduit's powers, but Heller could just shapeshift to expel the shards from his body and stop that. Beyond that, Concrete doesn't offer much other thsn making Delsin tankier, and Heller can match that.
Smoke's slippery, but manageable. It'll be hard to get his hands on Delsin when he can turn into smoke and the collateral damage from their fight would give Delsin plenty of ammo to work with, but Heller can match its gliding and the smoke grenades likely won't effect him much, as he can change his vision to see through them and armor would keep the smoke from choking him.
Video and neon are where this gets tough. Heller has no answer to anti-gravity, invisibility, or time stop, any one of which could give Delsin the opening he needs to end the fight. Doubly so since these powers would allow Delsin to transmute Heller into Neon particles or data, bypassing his regeneration all together. Given my basis for Delsin resisting assimilation, Heller wouldn't be able to survive this. Atoms are a more fundamental level of matter and Heller's never tanked anything on that level, including Alex's assimilation powers.
If you don't believe that Delsin can resist assimilation, however, than this becomes a figjt where both can one shot each other with feasibly any attack and neither can counter the stealth options the other would use to get that opportunity. In which case, I favor Delsin's range and wide area of effect attacks getting the fatal blow on Heller first. Heller's a smart, relentless, and deadly bioweapon who outpaces Delsin massively in skill, experience, and hand to hand combat, but Delsin is like nothing he's ever seen before. Any attempt to tank, block, and regenerate from a seemingly innocuous neon bolt or digital shot would reduce Heller to particles before he could reliably get close enough to absorb Delsin. And he's left helpless by an anti-gravity grenade or time stop... welp, goodbye angry virus boy.
This Throwdown's Winner is...
Delsin Rowe!

“Enchanted Homestead” challenge
In this challenge, you’ll create a spellcaster Sim and place them in a completely empty lot. Your goal is to turn this barren space into a magical haven by using your spellcasting abilities to conjure, transmute, and transform various objects and elements. You can only use your magic to build and furnish your home – no regular buy mode allowed. The challenge is complete when you’ve created a fully functional and aesthetically pleasing enchanted homestead using your spellcaster’s powers.
Rules:
1. Create a Spellcaster Sim: Begin by creating a spellcaster Sim with the traits and aspirations of your choice. You can customize their appearance, but their magical abilities are the key to this challenge. 2. Empty Lot: Start with an empty residential lot of your preferred size. You cannot use any pre-built structures or objects from the build/buy catalog. 3. No Buy Mode: You are not allowed to use the regular buy mode to purchase items for your homestead. All objects must be created using your Sim’s spellcasting abilities. 4. Spellcasting Focus: Your Sim must focus on the spellcasting skill. You can use any spells from the game, including those from expansion packs and packs that enhance spellcasting abilities. 5. Resource Collection: Your Sim is allowed to collect resources like crystals, herbs, and other magical components. These can be used to create more complex and powerful spells. 6. Magical Construction: Use spells creatively to construct and furnish your homestead. For example, use the “Conjure Furniture” spell to create chairs, tables, and other essentials. Use “Transmute” to turn regular objects into magical versions. 7. Landscaping: Landscaping can also be done using spells. Create gardens, ponds, and even shape the terrain using magical means. 8. Upgrade Spells: As your Sim gains skill and experience, they can unlock more powerful spells and magical abilities. Use these to enhance the aesthetics and functionality of your homestead. 9. Budget Constraint: Set a budget for your magical constructions. For instance, you can calculate the cost of objects in regular buy mode and aim to stay within that budget using your spells. 10. Completion: The challenge is considered complete when you’ve built a fully functional and visually appealing magical homestead that includes all the necessary amenities for your Sim’s daily life.
Remember, the main goal of the challenge is to rely solely on your spellcaster’s magical abilities to build and furnish your home. Get creative and have fun turning an empty lot into a whimsical and enchanted oasis!
