About this Mod

Please report bugs in my discord or codeberg, as I may not see messages otherwise

Description!

This is a pretty small mod I developed to fill a modding gap that I personally thought was missing, but I'm really excited to share it with you

The goal of this mod is to provide users with a non-intrusive way to make spells less op in the early game of Iron's Spells 'n Spellbooks

Vision

Have you ever been playing a modpack, with Iron's Spells n' Spellbooks and think

WOW! These spells are really powerful and beautiful! but they're kinda overpowered...

Well this mod is for you! By restricting the spells in the same way Eldritch spells are restricted, it takes a lot longer to get the powerful spells, AND modpack makers can remove the loot tables so they can only be learned through the command /learnSpell

example of an unlearnt spell

I couldn't find a solution I liked, so I made one!

Goals

  • To offer users a way to rebalance the mod Iron's Spells 'n Spellbooks
  • To add compatibility with select addons that add other schools of magic
  • To release a project I am proud of
  • For YOU to play the game how YOU want to

Key Features

  • Make all spells require learning to use
  • Requires players to have a certain rarity!
  • Provide all even modded schools with their own manuscript to learn the spells
  • Provide a cheaper manuscript to allow users to learn a random spell
  • Allow imbued spells to be casted without learning them, BUT require learning to make
  • Compat with any school addons
  • Resource pack makers can give each manuscript their own textures, and GUI textures, Example Pack

Useful Information

  • A specific spell can be learned by having a manuscript in one hand and the scroll in the other
  • Rarity orbs let you upgrade your rarity level, these can be crafted with an alchemy cauldron of the rarity ink, and an upgrade orb
  • A manuscript can be crafted by surrounding a spell focus item (the ones used to craft scrolls) with 4 torn scrolls
  • Put any scroll in a crafting interface to provide 2 torn scrolls
