Yeah, pretty typical. I was astounded at Joshua's luck with that wishing well.
No, he didn't break any rules. If you check the proclamation again, you'll see that mystics are those born to a mystic NPC or existing playable mystic. In fact, if mystics adopt or have illegitimate children, those children are mystics, too. High Witches are mystic NPCs, along with college professors, grand vampires and matchmakers. However, becoming an occult of any sort does not change a sim into a mystic. Anyone can be occult, although mystics are REQUIRED to become occult no later than one week after their adult birthdays.
Yes, I did double-check. Because all children of mystics become mystics, themselves, the founder can't marry a mystic NPC, because that would make all his children with that spouse mystics, too, and that would leave him without an heir. Spares, on the other hand, can marry mystics, thus joining the mystic family, themselves.
We won't have playable mystics for at least one generation, because of this. Not until we get a few spares to get with the mystic NPCs.
Now, one thing to consider: He turned all those shop assistants into witches and warlocks, but they are not HIGH witches, and were turned by him, so they don't count as Mystic NPCs. They're simply occult, and keep their original status, based on their NPC class.
Yeah, the rules for this class are complex and require much checking.
