Description
Hedge Magic adds a handful of early-game friendly content to Mana and Artifice.
Items
Arcane Chalk
Arcane chalks can be "sprinkled" (thrown) on to a ritual to activate them in place of purified vinteum dust. The lowest tier, Rudimentary Chalk, can only activate tier 0 rituals like the ones added by Hedge Magic, and must be upgraded to provide access to higher tier rituals. The chalk works even when dropped by mechanical means, such as dispensers or droppers.
Rituals
Ritual of Lost Knowledge
Tired of searching for villagers willing to sell a codex to you? The ancient texts speak of a long-lost ritual that was once used to inscribe an empty book with arcane knowledge from a magical pool. While no trace of the mystical liquid survived, you can devise an imitation by infusing pure water with vinteum dust. This will allow you to produce your very own Codex Arcana.
Ritual of New Life
The ritual of New Life entices a random peaceful mob to spontaneously generate nearby. Useful for when you've explored for hours but just can't seem to find a single cow.
The Crystalline Web
The Crystalline Web ritual produces a small amount of chimerite on demand.
Ritual of Coalescense
The Ritual of Coalescence allows you to fill a phylactery by draining a mob spawner of its power. The inert spawner can then be re-infused to allow it to spawn mobs from a phylactery.
Enchantments
Water Walking
The problem with water is that it is nearly impossible to stand on it. Through a mix of magical force and sheer force of will, the Water Walking enchantment solves this.
