This modpack includes Ars Nouveau and Botania as the key magic mods, with Create and Applied Energistics 2 to serve as the tech mods. Various additional mods are added to enhance compatibility across the modpack, as well as to provide endgame objectives to strive for.

A big motivation for this pack was to get away from the big, common tech mods, and to explore what a pack might look like if more common mods were avoided: Rather than use a larger pack and avoid using more common mods, you're required to make the best with what is included.

Power can be generated with Botania and Ars Nouveau, and can be converted to RF and Create energy. Ore multiplication can be accomplished through a multitude of ways. Quarrying is possible with the addition of RFTools. Endgame content is included with Blue Skies.

A light modpack (~100 mods) with a focus on magic and creative applications of Create.
