So after a fairly brief period of rather intense 'study' Ryan was able to successfully reconnect with his beloved.
Furthermore, his new magical contacts had revealed the existence of a wishing well, hidden away, which could perhaps restore Natasha to life again.
The couple journeyed to the garden and found the well. Rather than resurrect Natasha, it revealed to her the secret of ambrosia which, when prepared correctly, would indeed do the trick.
Ryan was so proud to assist in collecting the necessary ingredients.
Then they had to find someone with the knowledge and skill required to make the ambrosia. Magical contacts in Glimmerbrook directed them to Sabrina Cooke.
Sabrina's aid was enlisted. Natasha watched with great anticipation.
At last it was ready!
Game Mechanics:
Ryan gained acolyte spellcaster level and was able to study the tome to learn 'necrocall' (never mind Natasha's ghost had appeared anyhow..)
The wishing well (placed in a specially built National Park in Glimmerbrook) only gave Natasha an angelfish, one of the ingredients of ambrosia
Death Flower (second ingredient) can be purchased in the magic realm. Potion of youth was legitimately from the rewards store.
Sabrina Cooke is a previous Sim of mine, whom I cheated the requisite cooking and gourmet cooking skills to introduce to this story. Of course, she had to be temporarily moved into the household, but no real matter.
