SpellCraft - Magic World

🪄 ARCANUM — A Wizarding World Inspired Magic Mod

 

Arcanum brings a full wizarding experience to Minecraft: craft your first wand, learn spells at the Spell Table, level up your wizard, duel other players in a live spell-lock, brew potions, and explore magical biomes hiding a deadly Basilisk boss beneath the earth.

✨ CORE FEATURES

 

• 5 wand tiers, each with its own power/speed identity

• 25+ spells across 4 tiers (Basic → Advanced → Dark → Unforgivable)

• A full Wizard Level & Skill Tree system (max level 15)

• Live wand-lock PvP duels (Priori Incantatem)

• 3 custom potions

• ~20 original, GeckoLib-animated creatures

• 2 custom magical biomes + an underground dungeon with a boss

• Drag-and-drop spell loadout UI with cast-time & cooldown bars

🪄 WANDS & SPELLCASTING

 

Craft your first wand from Arcanewood — a magical tree found in its own biome — then work your way up:

 

• Arcanewood Wand — balanced, default stats

• Thunderbird Wand — fast casting, lower power

• Phoenix Wand — quick and reliable

• Troll Wand — slow but devastating

• Elder Wand — the most powerful wand in the game (endgame)

 

Every wand carries a Power multiplier and a Cast-Time multiplier, so your choice of wand actually changes how your spells feel to use. Spells are assigned to a 12-slot loadout (drag-and-drop menu, press G) and cast with cast-time channeling, a telegraph animation, and per-spell cooldowns.

📖 LEARNING SPELLS

 

Spells aren't unlocked for free — you learn them at the Spell Table using a spellbook + a themed reagent + an XP cost:

 

• Starter Spell Book → unlocks Basic + Advanced tier spells

• Dark Spell Book (rare mineshaft loot) → unlocks Dark tier

• Unforgivable Grimoire → unlocks the three Unforgivable Curses (Avada Kedavra, Crucio, Imperio)

 

Reagents are simple and craftable (chalk, ink, feathers, etc.) or found naturally in dungeon loot — no grinding required to get your first spells going.

🎓 WIZARD PROGRESSION — LEVEL & SKILL TREE

 

Every cast and every kill earns your wizard XP (tougher creatures — Death Eaters, Dementors, the Basilisk — give the most). Leveling up (max level 15) grants skill points to spend in a 4-branch skill tree, opened alongside your spell loadout (G menu):

 

• Mana Capacity — raise your maximum mana pool

• Mana Regeneration — refill mana faster

• Cooldown Reduction — cast spells more often (up to −45%)

• Spell Power — increase your damage and effect strength (matters in duels too)

 

Respeccing is completely free, so feel free to experiment with builds. Mana itself belongs to the player, not the wand — your mana bar is always visible, even bare-handed.

⚔️ WAND DUELS — PRIORI INCANTATEM

 

When two players cast attacking spells at each other at the same time, their beams lock together in a real Priori Incantatem duel — a glowing energy core that pushes toward the losing side based on click speed, wand power, and mana. Lose the clash and your opponent's spell lands for real: Avada Kedavra kills, Expelliarmus disarms, and so on. Nearby players can watch the whole thing happen live.

🧪 POTIONS

 

• Exstimulo Potion — doubles your spell power for 10 minutes

• Mana Haste Potion — dramatically speeds up mana regeneration

• Girding Potion (brewed from Troll hide) — resistance + speed boost

 

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

 

🐉 CREATURES & THE BASILISK BOSS

 

Nearly 20 original creatures roam the world, each fully modeled and animated with GeckoLib: Trolls, Werewolves, Acromantulas, Dementors, Death Eaters, Hippogriffs, Thestrals, Phoenixes, Thunderbirds, Nifflers, Kneazles, Mooncalves, Bowtruckles, Grindylows, Unicorns, Snowy Owls, and more — each with their own AI behavior (Trolls attack everything on sight, Dementors and Death Eaters compete over territory, and so on).

 

Deep underground, in the Chamber of Secrets dungeon, a massive Basilisk boss awaits — complete with its own boss bar, unique animations, and exclusive tome drops.
