    About this Mod

    Arcane Addons is a balanced mod to add magic to the game in fun and interesting ways. It's presently focused on balance for multiplayer use, and most of the healing and buff spells can be cast on fellow players, allowing for support focused characters.

    A lot of the spells are buffs, aimed to allow you to do things like explore Asteroids and the moon before Tier 5. Of course, there's some fun damage spells, of quite a variety. Arguably, the movement buffs are the most fun! Damage spells are not meant to overpower anything of that tier... well, that is, not till the last one ;)

    It is tabula rasa compatible. Which I suggest if you do not want to make a new character when we update.

    How does this mod work, and what is this Magi Tech?

    MagiTech is a tech that you equip that turns you into a mage. Hold your spellbook in hand and right click (or press F) to enter casting mode. From there, you have access to all of the spells of the tier of the spellbook.

    Spells are now cast by using direction keys. For instance, right (that is, "D") is the spell Magic Arrow. To cast it, you need at least the 1st level spellbook and the tech equipped. Right click to enter casting mode, then press D. It will acknowledge the press with the words Magic Arrow appearing over your head. At this point, you can left click to cast the spell. However, you don't have to! Instead, if you wish, you can jump to exit casting mode. The spell will still be ready to fire - just left click, even if you're jumping around, and the spell will be cast!

    Spells level with your spell book. The higher level your spell book, the more effective your spells. However since the spells are more effective they will also eat up more energy.

    BECAUSE THIS MOD USES A TECH IF YOU UNINSTALL THE MOD ENSURE WHATEVER CHARACTERS HAVE THE TECH ON THEM YOU UNEQUIP THE TECH. IT WILL BREAK YOUR SAVE OTHERWISE.

    Notes

    As the recipes are tiered, you will either have to start a new character or use previous star maps to unlock the associated recipes. Or the Tabula Rasa works too.

    Any planet has a chance to have a core of Blaststone, Obsidian, or Magmarock. So the challenge of making the enchanting table is to travel to planets search their core for obsidian.

    Conversely volcanic and magma planets have obsidian on the surface.

    Still to come

    Scrolls working.

    A master spell book.

    Spells that are missing.

    General graphical and efficiency.

    For those wondering how to get certain Essences


    Glitch Cup = 200 px = 1 Common Magical Essence
    Glitch Bowl = 200 px = 1 Uncommon Magical Essence
    Frog Statue = 500 px = 1 Rare Magical Essence
    Royal Bed = 1500 px = 1 Legendary Magical Essence
    Glitch King Crown = 1 Legendary Magical Essence
    Several Avian Masks from the temple = 1 Legendary Magical Essence

    There are over 1300 recipes 500 common, 400 uncommon, 300 rare, and 100 legendary.

    Besides an update being needed, the only thing that bugged me was what is classified as Geomancy and Thaumaturgy. I hope to see more than just fire under that branch. Geomancy should work more like Starbender, (Or just casting earth-related spells) since geomancy has nothing to do w/ air. (Standing on certain ground tiles and morphing gives different attacks in starbender) Other than that, the mod's great.

      Thank you, I'm glad for the feedback. I'll update it once Starbound is released. I like the idea behind the change in Earth related spells and will strive to change to something that works in a more Earth like way.

      I have heard with modification it is compatible. I have not seen nor tried it myself though. Sorry I wish I could help, however the core code is well organized and should be easily made to work with the current system.

      Waiting for final release though if anyone does a port I will happily update the main link here. Or conversely if someone needs help porting I am willing. But until version 1.0 I will be waiting to update, or more time in my personal life opens up.

    Feeling like a noob, how do I get the book? -_-
    1. Seterwind
      Author's Response
      You need to create the magic crafting table, from there you can make the book. The mod also supports Tabula Rasa for such things, it makes it easier.

      Hope you enjoy the mod, and re-review once you can play it through.
