Iron’s Spells, Ch 1:

Cover

•~> RPG-styled spell-casting mod, casting with Spellbooks, staffs, and even weapons of your own choice. Does not interrupt Minecraft’s game progression! Why do I hear a boss fight theme? Weird, anyhow, there’s gossip about an event with this mod on MCA!

•Looting Chests•

-This mod is designed for grinding, and exploration focus. Many loot chests, ranging from usual dungeon loot to The Stronghold; have desirable goodies for this mod! Let’s learn, and investigate!

~Ring of Mana:

•Grants +100 of Mana when worn, up to two rings can be worn at once.

~Blank Runestone:

•Crafting material.

~Furled Map:

•When interacted with, opens up direction to any structure, in the game. More on Tips.

~Spell Scroll:

•A single-use spell-casting technique. More on Tips, and further sections.

~Arcane Essence:

•Required in many crafting recipes.

•TIP•

-Ring of Affinity: When found has an already attuned Spell, granting it an extra level. The spell can be any, but never in the class/element/school of Eldritch, unless is attuned through a player’s done.

+When crafted, its name is “Ring of No Affinity”, a chapter will be dedicated to this subject, due to how potent a too can be.

-Blank Runestone: Keep them safe, and save them as if they were your first diamonds. These become rare as Blank, due to always being already encrypted with a school/element/class. And these encrypted, to be crafted become expensive. Never common, but in this mod’ structures these become a bit more likely to show up. They are crafting components, for many, many things. Key, on armor upgrades.

-Furled Map: Uses NBT data to search up loot tables, from these determines whether or not comes from a structure. Then pin points coordinates, and replaces itself with an adventurer’ map! Meaning! Can be used with other mods as well to find structures.

-Arcane Essence: This material is used in many recipes. This item can be found easily on dungeon chests, and even more easily on this mod’s structures. Additionally, dropped from all mobs added to Iron’s.

🪄❍━━━━❑❖❒━━━━❍🪄

•Spell Scrolls•

-To be honest, that’s a lot to digest. Let’s keep it simple now, everything now goes uphill in a very neat, organized, and comprehensive way. Let’s start with Schools / Elements / Classes. Due to many to specify their spell type-categorized, then I’ll just use Element. Thank you, Noobish!

•Holy -> Divine Pearl: Aim for healing, ing, and buffing allies. Could be also used as offensive magic against undead enemies.

•Fire -> Blaze Rod: Centered on damage dealing overtime, and direct damage.

•Nature -> Poison Potato: Applies debuffs, poison, and damage is creative visually.

•Ice -> Frozen Bone: Slows down enemies, focuses on damage, and crowd control.

•Lightning -> Bottle o’ Lightning: Centered in highest damage dealing, difficult to get Spells, and materials. Dangerous near creepers. It charges them.

•Ender -> Ender Pearls: Wide range type; teleportation, damage, utility, arcane, and mystical prowess.

•Blood -> Blood Vial: Centered around necromancy, withering, buffs the to make more damage.

•Evocation -> Emerald: A miscellaneous element that also branches with invocation/summoning, utilities, and defensive and offensive magic casting.

•TIP•

-Foci, or focuses are a main object that targets the specific element of a spell. The reason why, next to all elements; there’s an item.

-More on these in further chapters and sections, so far here are:

•Frozen Bones: A new drop that comes from Strays!

•Bottle o’ Lightning: Use empty bottles to charge the creeper, the extraction harms the creeper.

•Divine Pearl: Crafted with Gold ingot, and Amethyst shard.

🪄❍━━━━❑❖❒━━━━❍🪄

•Other Droplets•

-Other the worth mentioning new drops from already existing Minecraft mobs!

•Dragon Skin: Dropped from the Ender Dragon, more given when slaying with Looting.

•Hogskin: A skin so well needed for recipes, not only spellbooks but also qualities of life.

🪄❍━━━━❑❖❒━━━━❍🪄

•Upon Sight•

-The first time a player enters a new world or a server, they are granted; “Iron’s Guidebook” this mod’s sort of in-game guidance. Lacks pages, lacks information on many aspects of the mod.

Crafting recipe:

Crafting components:

-Book and Arcane Essence

-Another thing to check is your Mana Bar, which initially starts on a maximum of 100 numbered values. As you, reader have read above, the number can be increased through trinkets, but also equipment, spellbooks, and other means.

•Seen above the hunger bar, when fully full, slowly fades transparent. The bar shows up again whenever; the player is killed - regenerating the bar again -, consumed to cast spells, etc.

🪄❍━━━━❑❖❒━━━━❍🪄

•Arcane Debris•

-Also known as “Mithril” ore, above 1.21+ version of Iron’s Mod. Only found on the -38 layer of the overworld! Unexposed to air, and only can be harvested with a Netherite Pickaxe.

-This one cannot be simply smelt on a furnace, requires a Blast Furnace, furthermore as of hint, cannot be a fortune, unless in the 1.21+ mod version, acquiring Raw ore. This metal-of-sorts is needed for the crafting of the many trinkets observed before. Only picture, no naming, nor recipe naming;

-Arcane Debris only spawns in veins of 1-2 or 3 at best of personal luck upon generation. Worst case scenario to see yourself, they are worse than finding Netherite / Ancient Debris!

🪄❍━━━━❑❖❒━━━━❍🪄

•Structures!•

-The beauty of many mods is to spark curiosity in players to go for; “Ah?! What’s that? Looks cool!” Oh, and the treasures! They were already mentioned at first, now where to enrich and progress like champions on a single day and raid!

>Holy<

-Also known as “Priest House” generated inside villages, the creature found inside is a Villager who had similar ideals as a Witch and Evoker but went in a different approach. Heals nearby Villagers and Villager-alike creatures who roam around -peacefully-.

>Loot: 3/5 Worth

•Priest:

>HP: 60

>Behavior: Neutral

>Drops:

~Holy Runestone

~Arcane Essence

~Any Holy Spell Scroll

~Magical Ink

>Strategy:

~Multiple, due to their nature being neutral, the moment you - the player - give self-damage to them, you are done. Due to being holy aligned, they have a complete arsenal of healing, also they drink healing potions like witches. Let others do the job for you, let other mobs attack first, let a one-hit kill drop do most of the damage, and then attack. Unless you are already advanced in the game, ready to deal huge blows of damage, go then.

>Trades:

~Trades are amazing, not lie. Is worth the shot to keep them alive to trade with. For the worth of Emeralds, and their exchanges. The traded items are topics for further chapters. One of the few in the trade is Furled Maps!

>Nature<

-Seen in swamps, and Mangrove forests, although not visible made out of a lot of mangroves, is the house of the Apothecarist, a mage of beastly origins who uses the Nature element.

>Loot: 1/5 worth

•Apothecarist:

>HP: 60

>Behavior: Neutral

>Drops:

~Nature Runestone

~Arcane Essence

~Any Nature Spell Scroll

~Magical Ink

>Strategy:

~Do not disturb them, and also, seriously do not disturb them. This mage found themselves capable of staying well in the overworld without being turned zombified. They let players loot around, without a problem. And just like a Piglin Brute, they are strong and smart when attacking. Better be using a Poisonward ring, preventing any sort of poison damage.

>Trading:

~For the trading aspect, you do not need to barter, nor use Gold, use Emeralds. Or a very expensive-progressive item for a better utility need. With an Apothecarist you can trade to get;

~Arcane Essence

~Nether Wart

~Redstone

~Glow Ink Sac

~Potions

~Elixirs (Further posts)

~Fungi

~Spell Scrolls

~Magical Inks

~Foodstuffs (Vegetarian)

~Etc

>Fire<

-The tower of a mage who curios enough has found themselves in the peace of brewery, and countryside farming. Their explosive experimentations have destroyed their main tower, taking the best refugee in their cellars.

>Loot: 4/5 worth

•Pyromancer:

>HP: 60

>Behavior: Hostile-Neutral

>Drops:

~Fire Runestone

~Arcane Essence

~Any Fire Spell Scroll

~Magical Ink

>Strategy:

~The meaning of Hostile neutral, is very specific. Won’t harm you at first instance, but the moment you try stealing from them, they attack, also if you attack them first. Bring a Fireward ring, sounds like a better help. Dodge the attacks, and/or trap them.

>Trading:

~They trade with emeralds, the exchange is light-fire-related items. Spells Scrolls, and many other neat things.

>Natural Structure<

-Self-name placed, think of it as those desert wells. This structure can be spotted on frozen oceans, they aren’t protected, and they hold pretty bad loot. A good thing to find here are Furled Maps and usual shipwreck loot tables.

>Ice<

-Found on cold biomes, and even high peaks, these towers are desolated from outside. Hibernating a Cryomancer, a mage who uses the element of ice to his advantage.

>Loot: 5/5 Worth

•Cryomancer:

>HP: 60

>Behavior: Hostile

>Drops:

~Ice Runestone

~Arcane Essence

~Any Ice Spell Scroll

~Magical Ink

>Strategy:

~Have you ever heard of the phrase: “On Sight” yeah… hmmm… The Cryomancer is hidden in a chamber only accessible through the main floor, under the stairs, through a dark oak trapdoor. This mage attacks upon turning around, and quickly attacks the player. You better run so fast or get away from that tower in an instant, or you're dead. If you are prepared, then bring a Lava Bucket, and attack from a distance enough that their hits won’t touch you. If they do, and not wearing a Frostward, you better be ready for a fight. One of the expected spells used from a Cryomancer is “Summon Polar Bear” which, well summons a Polar Bear; strong hits, and a fast pace.

>Trading:

~They do not trade.

>Evocation<

-Here for a round of hedgehog-look-alike aftermatch, this place is filled to the brim with Pillagers and a couple of Ravagers. This fort is the home of the Archevoker, in for a fight harder than what you could expect from an Evoker. There’s loot everywhere, multiple layers of secret spaces. Even below lecterns, there are goodies. Nice place to get many books or bookshelves.

•Archevoker:

>HP: 60

>Behavior: Hostile

>Drops:

~Evocation Runestone

~Arcane Essence

~Any Evocation Spell Scroll

~Magic Ink

>Strategy:

~Leave, just like a Raid, don’t trigger it unless you are prepared. Once you are prepared, bring slow-falling potions. Swing your sword, making the Archevoker get harmed by fall damage, then hopefully bring a Crossbow, already loaded with fireworks, explosive fireworks. Quick detonation, mid-progression no need for a higher need of magical casting, nor other mods either.

>Trading:

~No trading capability, is an illager.

>Ancient Battleground<

-Found only in the Nether, a ruined portal with many pieces of Crying Obsidian, broken stone brick walls, and soul soil. Under these grounds, there’s a tomb, with a very, very, very good loot. Aside from that, there are Netherite armor piles around! What a surprise!

•Ancient Knights:

>HP: 60

>Behavior: Dormant-Hostile

>Drop:

~Netherite Scrap

~Cinder Essence (right side)

~Decrepit Flamberge (left side)

>Strategy:

-Why, Dormant-Hostile? These aren’t “active” killers who roam around this structure, they are trapped. When a player breaks the pile of Netherite armor, they get summoned. Now, although lethal -while same lever ground- these undead creatures are easily killed in a 4-block height. Even safer if you make a pit, they resemble a lot of Wither skeletons, meaning Smite does work on them. The Netherite armor does not protect them very well.

>Curiosity:

~All mages are neutral to each other, if they accidentally hit another, they fight. Ancient Knights are naturally inclined to kill all mages, making them attack them back.

•TIP•

-The Decrepit Flamberge, let’s run statistics!

>Attack Damage: 11

>Attack Speed: 1.3

>Bonus 1: +5 Armor when held

>Bonus 2: Increased reach +3 Blocks.

-This sword-alike weapon requires two hands to be held, meaning you won’t be using your off-hand while focusing on your main selected slot to use.
