Empire Wand

One wand, thirty spells.

Empire Wand started in 2013 as a Bukkit plugin for Minecraft 1.7.2. Now it is back, rebuilt for NeoForge, with every spell from back then and plenty of new ones. No mana: after each spell the wand cools down for a moment, from a second after a spark to fifteen after a black hole.

How it works

• Right-click picks the next spell, left-click casts it.
• Hold left-click for a second: a charged cast, bigger, stronger and further.
• A cooldown after each spell (shown on the wand, as with ender pearls): short for the light spells, long for the heavy ones.
• The spell wheel: press R for all its spells in two rings; put your favourites on the keys 1 to 5, or sneak and scroll.
• Every spell has its colour: the wand's crystal takes it on, and a beam of sparks runs from its tip to where the spell lands.

Find your spells

A new wand knows four spells. The other twenty-six are spell scrolls round the world, each place with its kind:

• Ice in igloos and ancient cities, the void in strongholds and End cities, nature in jungle temples and mansions, lightning at pillager outposts, fire in the Nether.
• The heavy ones (Meteor Shower, Black Hole, Lightning Storm, Tornado, Earthquake) only in hard places.
• Also in trial chamber vaults and suspicious sand and gravel, and from evokers, illusioners and witches. The Wither and the Ender Dragon always leave one.
• A librarian sells a sealed scroll: break the seal and find out which spell it is.
• Right-click a scroll and the wand in your other hand learns it.

The spells

• From 2013: Explode, Lightning Arrow, Escape, Launch, Leap, Confuse, Capture, Little Spark, Comet, Spark, Jump, Poison Wave, Explosive, Blood Block, Lightning Storm. With the fireworks of the original plugin.
• New: Meteor Shower, Chain Lightning, Earthquake, Tornado, Blood Wave, Blood Spark, Ice Wave, Freeze, Blizzard, Blink, Black Hole, Levitate, Roots, Spores, Overgrowth.
• Combos: a blast near something frozen shatters it; Chain Lightning in your Tornado strikes all it holds; Spores make your Tornado poisonous.

And more

• The spellbook: every spell, what it does, which you have, and where to find the rest.
• Enchantments: Power, Reach and Multicast, at the enchanting table.
• Skins: gold, obsidian or bone (sneak and right-click with the block in your other hand).
• The Dark Mage and the Wizard Tower: a tower with a library full of scrolls, guarded by mages who throw your own spells at you.
• Advancements, from your first scroll to Archmage.
