Ars Nouveau

Welcome to Ars Nouveau! Ars Nouveau is a magic mod that allows you to create custom spells with the different Glyphs made within the mod!

Asks for: Book

To get started, you'll need to craft yourself a Novice Spellbook! This is where you create and store your spells. Hitting the C key will open up the 'Create a Spell' page. On the left, there are several tabs, but the main 3 are: Spell Creation, Color Picker, and Familiars. This spellbook will only allow you to create and use Tier 1 Glyphs. To create better spells, you'll need to upgrade your Spellbook!

Asks for: Novice Spell Book

This is the next upgrade to your Spellbook! This will increase your overall mana and mana regen, as well as allowing you to create and use Tier 2 Glyphs.

Asks for: Mage's Spell Book

To create the final tier of your Spellbook, you'll need to have killed the Wilden Chimera. This is a Ritual that you'll need to complete using a Ritual Brazier.

Asks for: Archmage Spell Book

To gain further knowledge of spells, we'll need a specific type of magical wood!

The Dowsing Rod gives you Magic Find and Scrying when used. This allows you to see nearby magic creatures as well as helping you find amethyst!

Asks for: Dowsing Rod

If you want to cast better spells, you'll need a Scribe's Table to unlock new glyphs for your spellbook. There are 3 tiers of glyphs to unlock, and each one requires some experience and items. The Scribe's Table is also used to attach spells to Spell Parchments. To do this, place a Spell Parchment on the table, select the spell in your Spellbook, then sneak right-click the book on the table. To create a Glyph, right-click on the Scribe's Table with your spellbook. Search for the glyph you want to make, then click Select at the bottom. Right-click the table with the items required, and the glyph will be created. Use the glyph to learn it. Note: The table can pull items from nearby inventories.

Asks for: Scribe's Table

Tier 1 Glyphs require 3 levels of experience to be made.

Filter Glyphs allow you to set your spells to specific types of targets.

To create one of the main crafting items in Ars, the Source Gem, we'll need to make an Imbuement Chamber. The Imbuement Chamber requires Source to imbue items. It produces a small amount of Source by itself, but can also use Source Jars as a power source. Several recipes also require Arcane Pedestals to be placed around it as well.

Asks for: Imbuement Chamber

To create Source Gems, we'll need to put either Lapis or Amethyst Shards into the Imbuement Chamber. Over time, these will convert to Source Gems!

Asks for: Source Gem

In Ars Nouveau, the power system for machines is called Source. To start collecting some Source, we'll need a Source Jar. Source can also be moved with buckets, or by breaking and picking up Source Jars.

Asks for: Source Jar

The Potion Jar stores up to 100 potions. You can remove them by using an empty bottle or a potion flask on the jar. Wixies will use these jars during Potion Autocrafting.

Asks for: Potion Jar

The Volcanic Sourcelink generates Source by consuming burnable items. Archwood logs will generate bonus Source. As it burns items, it will convert nearby stone into lava. This also generates Lava Lilys.

Asks for: Volcanic Sourcelink

Unobtainum Source Jar can hold 100,000 source, rather than the measly 10,000 provided by a normal one. It is also an ingredient in the Creative Source Jar.

Placing this near growing plants or saplings will provide Source. Archwood trees provide more Source! Note: Bonemealing does not produce Source.

The Enchanting Apparatus is used to craft various items within the mod. It requires Source to work. It is also a multiblock structure that utilizes Arcane Pedestals to craft.

The Caster's Wand only accepts a single spell, and is inscribed using the Scribe's Table. Wand spells always start with Projectile > Accelerate, and MUST be inscribed with a spell that does not have another method (like touch, self, etc). This allows you to cast spells beyond the 10 spell cap. If you want to use Break, just inscribe the wand with Break by itself.

Asks for: Enchanter's Wand

The Enchanter's Sword allows you to attach a Touch Spell to the sword. All spells on the Sword gain 1 additional Amplify augment to the last effect on the spell. To apply a spell to the sword, use a Scribe's Table. Create the spell without using a form.

Now we have guns! The Basic Spell Turret from Ars Nouveau is a block that casts a pre-inscribed spell when it receives a redstone signal. It functions similarly to a dispenser but for spells, drawing the necessary source from nearby Source Jars to power the cast.

Now this ones complicated. First, obtain a drygmy charm by trading with a Lv4 Shady Wizard and crafting it from the token. You can right-click Mossy Cobblestone with it to create a Drygmy Henge, which spawns a Drygmy. Here's where your containment jar comes in. Start the containment ritual, and place the containment jar and any mob whose loot you want to farm. You'll need some Source as well. This should put the mob in the jar. Finally, place the jar within 10 blocks of the drygmy, and put a full source jar and a chest next to the Henge. You should see green particles coming from the jar, and eventually the mob drops should appear in the chest. For specifics on how the rates are calculated, read the wiki.

Asks for: Containment Jar

This bow can be inscribed with a spell using a Scribe's Table. At the cost of mana, arrows will become Spell Arrows and will apply the spell on their target. If you have no arrows, a spell arrow that deals 0 damage will be cast. If there is not enough mana, regular arrows will be fired instead. The Enchanter's Bow can also use special Augment Arrows that empower the inscribed spell.
