First Public Alpha Release

Welcome to the first public version of **Arcane Realms**, a magic and adventure
content mod for Minecraft Java Edition 1.21.1 and Fabric.

This release brings together the complete foundation of the mod: persistent
mana, spell mastery, custom magical artifacts, animated enemies, boss
encounters, handcrafted structures, survival crafting, and a dedicated dungeon
locator.

Magic and progression

- Added persistent, server-synchronized mana that is preserved with the player.
- Added a contextual mana HUD that appears while holding a catalyst or while
  mana is being spent or regenerated.
- Added individual ten-level Mastery progression for 14 spells, with
  improvements to power, mana efficiency, and special milestones at levels 5
  and 10.
- Added the Mastery screen, opened with the configurable K key while holding
  a catalyst or controlling an Arcane Glider.
- Added floating combat numbers showing the effective damage dealt by spells.
- Added synchronized first-person and third-person casting animations.

The initial spell catalog includes:

- **Arcane Wand:** Crystal Shot, Fireball, Aqua Whip, and Crystal Barrage.
- **Crystal Bracelet:** Sonic Punch, Earthshaker, and Summon Crystals.
- **Codeblade:** Light Beam.
- **Arcane Glider:** Slipstream Blade, Comet Drive, and Rupture Constellation.
- **Ice Bow:** Glacial Shot, Explosive Ice Arrow, and Shard Rain.

Crystal Barrage is unlocked by defeating the Prismatic Guardian. 

Summon Crystals uses Amethyst Shards to call temporary allied amethyst creatures.

  Glider, each with custom low-poly models, textures, effects, and abilities.
