Eclipse Arcana - Iron's Spells Addon

Works with Unraveling the Spells

If you play with Unraveling the Spells, where you study schools and spells at a Magic Lectern before you can cast them:

• All nine Eclipse Arcana schools have their own school cards in the Lectern, and you study their spells there like any other school's.
• Convergence stays a secret. Its spells are still learned only by pulling off their secret combos, and the school isn't offered in the Lectern. Pack makers can change that in the config.
• Combo hints, the Grimoire of Convergence and the combos list keep the names of spells you haven't learned yet scrambled.

Card school balance

The Card school was ahead of the others, so it's been brought back in line:

• Thrown cards (Card Toss, Fan of Cards, Wild Draw's Spades) fly a bit slower, closer to the other schools' bolts.
• Fan of Cards throws its fourth and fifth cards at levels 4 and 7 (was 3 and 5), and each card hits for less. Up close the whole fan used to land on one target for huge damage.
• Lucky Draw's blessings last 14 to 30 seconds (was 28 to 60), so they no longer stay up the whole time between casts. The stronger versions (Strength II, Resistance II) only come at level 5, and Clubs gives a smaller shield.
• Wild Draw: Hearts heals less, the Spades card hits a little softer and crits less often, Diamonds gives a much smaller shield (it reached ten extra hearts), and Clubs hits softer.
• Ace in the Hole lasts 30 to 70 seconds and no longer gets longer with spell power. With enough power it used to last longer than its own cooldown, so you could never die.
• Marked Card makes the target take 15 to 35% more damage (was 25 to 45%).
• Dead Man's Hand flips fewer Aces, and an Ace hits a little softer.
• Each wave of Fifty-Two Pickup hits a little softer.

Fixes

• The End isn't overrun with Void Stalkers anymore: they're much rarer there (still possible on the dragon's island), and no school enemy piles up more than three in one area. A new setting, enemies.maxNearby, controls that limit.
• The wolf howls of Howl and Blood Moon are much quieter. Howl played two loud howls on top of each other.
• An Affinity Ring tied to a Convergence spell shows a proper ring instead of the purple-and-black missing texture.

1.20.1 only:

• No more errors filling the log while you hold a scroll or spell book on newer versions of Iron's Spells (1.20.1-3.15 and up).
• On those newer versions, Convergence spells have to be learned through their secret combos again. Before, they counted as already known.
