Mahou Tsukai in All the Mods 10

Mahou Tsukai is a magic mod that cares more about what spells do than how you create them. The focus is on unique spells and special effects. Many spells are inspired by Fate/Stay Night and other media, but you don't need to know any of it to enjoy the mod. This pack ships version 1.21.1-v1.36.27.^[1][2]

Who it's for

It suits you if you want a magic mod where every spell has its own niche. The mod avoids tiers and spell progression, so there is no growing out of the basic spells. The one thing that grows is your mana. It also adds no worldgen apart from a custom dimension, and nearly everything is configurable, including mana costs, regen and spell effects. If a spell lags or feels off, there is probably a config to tone it down.^[1]

How it plays in the pack

The pack has a dedicated quest chapter that walks you through the basics. Start with "Mortar and Pestle" quest, because spells need powdered items and those need the Mortar and Pestle. Then "How to grow your Mahou" quest introduces the Attuner and Mahou, the resource behind spells and weapons. According to the quest, your Mahou limit goes up as you use it.^[3]

Some spells can be turned into scrolls so you can use them on the go. "Spells on the go!" quest covers this with a Spell Cloth and a Dagger. The quest warns that not every spell can become a scroll.^[3]

The big goal in the chapter is Morgan. The quests say you need Caliburn for it, the Mahou Lake for Caliburn, and the Power Consolidation Ritual for the lake. The Morgan ritual needs 5,000 Mahou. Attuned Emerald stores 1,000 Mahou and Attuned Diamond stores 2,000, so batteries are worth making first.^[3]

Unverified The sources don't show this mod on the ATM Star path, and no in-jar guidebook was found for it. Treat the quest chapter as your main guide.

Mahou Tsukai is a magic mod built around special effects and unique spells rather than tiers, so there is no spell you grow out of. The one thing that does progress is your Mahou, the mana the mod runs on. Here is the order I'd go in.^[1][3]

Step one: craft the guidebook

Start with the Mahou Tsukai Knowledge Compendium. Its entries explain the mod's spells and the seven powdered catalysts, so it's worth having open while you work.^[4][5]

Step two: get something to powder items with

Spells are built from powdered items. The mod's own entries say you make them by smashing the catalysts with a Hammer or a Mortar and Pestle. The "Mortar and Pestle" quest quest points you to the Mortar and Pestle, but the Hammer works for the powder recipes too.^[3][4][5]

Step three: make a Dagger and a Spell Cloth

Some spells can be stored as scrolls, so you can use them anywhere. For that you need a Spell Cloth, which is crafted from the Dagger and white wool. The pack has changed the Dagger recipe. The quest is "Spells on the go!" quest.^[3][4]

Step four: start growing your Mahou

Mahou is needed for spells and weapons, and your limit goes up as you spend it. The "How to grow your Mahou" quest quest wants an Attuner. Use it to make Attuned Emerald and Attuned Diamond, which work as Mahou batteries. The pack changed all three recipes.^[3][4]

An Attuned Diamond holds 2,000 Mahou and an Attuned Emerald holds 1,000. The ritual for Morgan needs 5,000 Mahou, so you'll want several of them (see "Enough Mahou? Probably!" quest).^[3]

Where to go next

Once your powders are flowing, the questline branches. For the Caliburn and Morgan route, "Power Consolidation Ritual" quest starts with the Power Consolidation Ritual, which uses 2 powdered diamonds and 1 powdered emerald. The ritual spot becomes the middle of the Mahou Lake, so do it well away from your base.^[3]

Mahou Tsukai is a magic mod about spell uniqueness and special effects rather than about how spells are made. In this pack you work with magic circles you place, scrolls you use, and a mana system. The author says there are no tiers and no progression apart from mana, and that nearly everything is configurable: mana costs, regen, spell sizes and effects, and how often spells tick.^[1][5]

Catalysts and powders

Seven catalysts each stand for one category of magic. You turn them into powdered catalysts by smashing them with a Hammer or a Mortar and Pestle.^[5]

• Iron: Boundaries, made into Powdered Iron.^[4][5]
• Ender Pearl: Displacement, made into Powdered Ender.^[4][5]
• Diamond: Projection, made into Powdered Diamond.^[4][5]
• Emerald: Exchange, made into Powdered Emerald.^[4][5]
• Gold: Mystic, made into Powdered Gold.^[4][5]
• Quartz: Intelligence, made into Powdered Quartz.^[4][5]
• Ender Eye: Mystic Eyes, made into Powdered Eye.^[4][5]

The pack changes the recipes for the iron, gold, diamond and emerald powders, and for the Mortar and Pestle's two parts (the Mortar and the Pestle). The Ender, Eye and Quartz powders and the Hammer keep the mod's own recipes.^[4]

Mana circuits

Mana Circuits are blocks that store mana. You can draw on that mana while you're nearby, as long as you own the block. Whoever right-clicks a circuit first after it's placed becomes its owner. Right-click to put mana in, and shift-right-click to turn it on or off.^[5]

If you want other players to use your circuit, right-click it with Fae Essence to open it up.^[5]

Boundaries

Boundaries are area-of-effect spells that work in a radius around a placed circle, and they drain mana on a fixed basis. Right-click one to switch it on or off, and a redstone signal inverts its on/off state. Boundary scrolls let you place boundaries quickly somewhere else.^[5]

For redstone automation, boundaries give a comparator output of 0 when off and 1 when on. The Alarm Boundary is the exception: it outputs 15 while it detects anything inside its range. It alerts you to mobs and players entering that range.^[5]

In the pack's server config, each boundary has a cycle (how often it does its thing), a mana cost (per cycle), a mana cycle (how often it drains mana) and a radius. Here are the values this pack uses, one option at a time.^[6]

• Alarm radius: boundary.alarm.ALARM_BARRIER_RADIUS is 10.^[6]
• Alarm cycle: boundary.alarm.ALARM_BARRIER_CYCLE is 20.^[6]
• Alarm mana cost: boundary.alarm.ALARM_BARRIER_MANA_COST is 1.^[6]
• Alarm mana cycle: boundary.alarm.ALARM_BARRIER_MANA_CYCLE is 10.^[6]
• Alarm messages go to the action bar instead of the chat window while boundary.alarm.ALARM_ACTION_BAR_MESSAGES is true.^[6]
• Displacement radius: boundary.displacement.DISPLACEMENT_BARRIER_RADIUS is 11.^[6]
• Displacement cycle: boundary.displacement.DISPLACEMENT_BARRIER_CYCLE is 4.^[6]
• Displacement mana cost: boundary.displacement.DISPLACEMENT_BARRIER_MANA_COST is 1.^[6]
• Displacement mana cycle: boundary.displacement.DISPLACEMENT_BARRIER_MANA_CYCLE is 5.^[6]
• Drain Life radius: [[config:config/mahoutsukai-server.toml#boundary.drain life.DRAIN_LIFE_BARRIER_RADIUS]] is 10.^[6]
• Drain Life damage: [[config:config/mahoutsukai-server.toml#boundary.drain life.DRAIN_LIFE_DAMAGE]] is 2.^[6]
• Drain Life healing: [[config:config/mahoutsukai-server.toml#boundary.drain life.DRAIN_LIFE_HEAL_FACTOR]] is 0.5.^[6]
• Drain Life mana restored: [[config:config/mahoutsukai-server.toml#boundary.drain life.DRAIN_LIFE_MANA_REGEN]] is 1.^[6]
• Drain Life against targets with magic resistance: [[config:config/mahoutsukai-server.toml#boundary.drain life.DRAIN_LIFE_PUNISH_RESIST]] is 1.8, meaning that many times its normal damage.^[6]
• Drain Life entity cap: [[config:config/mahoutsukai-server.toml#boundary.drain life.DRAIN_LIFE_AFFECTED_LIMIT]] is 100,000, the number of entities the circle can affect each tick.^[6]
• Drain Life ignores the entity listed in [[config:config/mahoutsukai-server.toml#boundary.drain life.DRAIN_LIFE_ENTITY_BLACKLIST]], which is dummmmmmy:target_dummy.^[6]
• Enclosure radius: boundary.enclosure.ENCLOSURE_BARRIER_RADIUS is 5.^[6]
• Enclosure mana cost: boundary.enclosure.ENCLOSURE_BARRIER_MANA_COST is 20.^[6]
• Gravity radius: boundary.gravity.GRAVITY_BARRIER_RADIUS is 10.^[6]
• Gravity factor: boundary.gravity.GRAVITY_BARRIER_FACTOR is 1.4, a multiplicative increase in downward velocity.^[6]
• Tangible radius: boundary.tangible.TANGIBLE_BARRIER_RADIUS is 10.^[6]
• Tangible cycle: boundary.tangible.TANGIBLE_BARRIER_CYCLE is 20.^[6]
• Tangible mana cost: boundary.tangible.TANGIBLE_BARRIER_MANA_COST is 1.^[6]
• Tangible mana cycle: boundary.tangible.TANGIBLE_BARRIER_MANA_CYCLE is 3.^[6]

Displacement circles and scrolls

Displacement is the teleportation category. Ascension, used without a cloth, teleports anything on top of the circle (items and mobs included) to the highest solid Y value it can find. The scroll version only moves the caster.^[5]

• Ascension: the circle checks for things to teleport on a cycle of 4. The scroll costs 30 mana, which is also the cost per teleport when it isn't a scroll.^[6]
• Equivalent Displacement: 60 mana per teleport, a 15 cooldown between teleports so you don't get shot back and forth, and dimensional travel is allowed (true). Max distance is set to -1.^[6]
• Ordered Displacement: 40 mana per teleport, a cooldown of 15, and circles can be up to 20 apart.^[6]
• Mental Displacement: the scroll costs 300 mana, and you're sent back to your body if you go further than 20.^[6]
• Projectile Displacement and Protective Displacement: each scroll costs 50 mana.^[6]

Exchange and group circles

• Alchemical Exchange: about once a day around the time you placed it, it converts natural blocks underneath into random other blocks of the same class (dirt may become sand, diamonds may become emeralds). It ignores crafted blocks such as bricks or diamond blocks.^[5]
• Catalyst Exchange: placed on the floor, it converts powdered catalysts on top of it into a new random powdered catalyst.^[5]
• Chronal Exchange: generates mana for 12 hours, centered on the time of placement. For the other 12 hours it drains mana from the caster, gems or mana circuits. Skipping time only delays the cycle.^[5]
• Contract: two players each make a contract circle and stand on them nearby. The contract lets them bypass certain effects such as boundaries and some mystic eyes, and one player breaks it by damaging the other.^[5]

The Cup of Heaven is the most complex spell, used to apply mass negative effects. You place many of its circles and activate them with a scroll. The mod works out the outer convex polygon, and the prime factors of the outer and inner circle counts decide the effects. Everything inside the polygon at activation gets them.^[5]

The prime factors map like this: 2 is Poison, 3 is Weakness, 5 is Blindness, 7 is Slowness, 11 is Wither and 13 is Levitation. A pentagon of 5 circles with 4 inside gives Poison 2 and Blindness 1. For Poison 1 and Wither 1, build a 22-sided polygon. Mana cost depends on the effects and area covered.^[5]

Mahou Tsukai has its own quest chapter in the pack, and it's the roadmap this section follows. Three quests sit at the start of the chapter side by side: "Mortar and Pestle" quest, "How to grow your Mahou" quest and "Spells on the go!" quest. Everything else branches off those. One caveat: the Caliburn quest itself says some of its requirements are stated in other quests and some not yet, so what follows is only what the quests spell out.^[3]

Tier 1: Powders

The quest says that to get Spells you'll need Powdered Items, and to get Powdered Items you'll need a Mortar and Pestle. The pack changed the recipes for both the Mortar and the Pestle, so don't rely on what you remember from the mod's defaults.^[3][4]

Tier 2: Growing your Mahou

The quest calls Mahou the life source of everything Mahou Tsukai, and says that using it raises your limit. Its starting item is the Attuner, which the pack changed. It leads to Attuned Emerald and Attuned Diamond, which the quests describe as Mahou batteries.^[3][4]

According to the quest, an Attuned Diamond holds 2,000 Mahou and an Attuned Emerald holds 1,000. These are the options the quests give you for building up Mahou:^[3]

• Attuned gems: the quest calls storing Mahou in them an easy way of spending it, and says the Morgan ritual needs 5,000 Mahou, so you may need a few.^[3]
• "Boundary of Life Drain" quest: the quest suggests it once you have at least 200 Mahou. It says you get 10 Mahou back for every mob that dies in the boundary, but that it's a slow process.^[3]
• "Chronal Exchange" quest: the quest says you gain Mahou for 12 hours, then spend it for 12 hours. With a second circle, it becomes a loop once the first starts spending.^[3]
• "Durability Exchange" quest: the quest says to toss strong (but not too strong) items into it, and recommends Netherite Shovels.^[3]

Tier 3: Spell Cloth and Scrolls

Some spells can be stored as Scrolls. You place a Spell Cloth, do the same ritual onto the cloth, then right-click it to get the Scroll. Some spells can't become Scrolls, so check before you spend materials. You make the cloth with a Dagger, and the pack changed the Dagger recipe.^[3][4]

The quest book connects these Scroll quests to the items they lead to:^[3]

• "Scroll of Explosive Mana Condensation" quest: the quest asks for 2 Powdered Gold and 1 Powdered Diamond. It leads to the Mystic Staff of Explosive Mana Condensation, which the next quest says has Beam, AOE and Big Explosion modes.^[3]
• "Scroll of Spatial Disorientation" quest: the quest asks for 2 Powdered Gold and 1 Powdered Enderpearl. It leads to the Mystic Staff of Spatial Disorientation, which the quest says can fling entities, including yourself.^[3]
• "Scroll of Proximity Projection" quest: the quest asks for 2 Powdered Diamonds and 1 Powdered Enderpearl. It leads to the Crimson Black Keys of Proximity Projection, which the quest says let you teleport onto a target and hit it.^[3]
• "Scroll of Weapon Projectiles" quest: it leads to the Bow of Weapon Projectiles, which the quest says fires weapons that act like a thrown Trident.^[3]
• "Scroll of Strengthening" quest: the quest asks for 2 Powdered Diamonds and 1 Powdered Iron. It says you need this Scroll to get more of the little Mahou Tsukai weapons.^[3]

Tier 4: Caliburn and Morgan

Morgan is a big goal in this chapter, and the quests chain it together like this (the Caliburn quest itself notes that some requirements are not yet stated in earlier quests):^[3]

1. Do the "Power Consolidation Ritual" quest. The quest says it needs 2 powdered diamonds and 1 powdered emerald, and warns you not to do it near your base because the ritual spot will be the middle of the lake.^[3]
2. The quest says the ritual creates the "Mahou Lake" quest, growing to about a 20x20 block area full of Murky Water. It says the water won't kill you unless you forget to go for air.^[3]
3. Make Caliburn. The quest says you need the lake, 5,000 Mahou and an Enchanted Diamond Sword with Smite (the higher the level, the better). Throw the sword into the lake and you'll find Caliburn at the bottom.^[3]
4. Get Morgan. The quest says you need to kill a pet dog with Caliburn, and that Caliburn's Innate Cap becomes Morgan's Innate Cap.^[3]

Tier 5: Strengthened weapons and Replica

After the Scroll of Strengthening, the quest book branches into several more weapons:^[3]

• Emrys: the quest suggests getting struck by lightning while holding the Strengthened Stick. It says to hold Emrys in your off hand and hold right-click.^[3]
• Clarent: the quest says to take your Strengthened Diamond Sword into a pool of Dragon's Breath. It says Clarent works as a shield and sword, and that blocked attacks deal the same damage back.^[3]
• Nobu: the quest describes it as a gun with 3 firing modes. Its quest follows the Strong Bow quest.^[3]
• Replica: the quest says to have 5 Souls, Damage Exchange and Immunity Exchange ready, then hold your Strengthened Shield to block an attack.^[3]

The three Replica prerequisites each have a quest. For the Scroll of Damage Exchange, the quest asks for 1 Powdered Iron and 2 Powdered Emeralds. For the Scroll of Immunity Exchange, it asks for 1 Powdered Eye and 2 Powdered Emeralds. The Scroll of the Mystic Eyes of Death Collection quest says it lets you collect Souls from watching mobs die. It says each death gives only a little bit, so you'll need to see a lot of them.^[3]

In the quest book, everything for this mod sits in one chapter, Mahou Tsukai. It starts with three entry quests, then branches into Mahou-gathering rituals, scroll quests, and the chains for the big named weapons. The Caliburn quest text says some of its requirements are stated in earlier quests and some are not yet, so read that quest before you start on it.^[3]

Where you start

Three quests come straight after the chapter start. "Mortar and Pestle" quest asks for the Mortar and Pestle, and its text says you need it to get powdered items for spells. "How to grow your Mahou" quest asks for the Attuner, and its text describes Mahou as the life source of the mod. "Spells on the go!" quest asks for a Spell Cloth and a Dagger, and its text covers putting spells into scrolls.^[3]

Growing your Mahou

After the Attuner quest, "Enough Mahou? Probably!" quest asks for an Attuned Emerald. Its text says Attuned Diamonds hold 2,000 Mahou and Attuned Emeralds hold 1,000, and that the Morgan ritual needs 5,000 Mahou.^[3]

Three more quests come after the Attuner and Mortar and Pestle quests, and their texts present each one as a way to spend or regain Mahou:^[3]

• "Boundary of Life Drain" quest: the quest text says to try it once you have at least 200 Mahou, and that you get 10 Mahou back for every mob that dies in the boundary. It also calls this a slow process.^[3]
• "Durability Exchange" quest: the quest text says to toss strong (but not too strong) items into it, and suggests Netherite Shovels.^[3]
• "Chronal Exchange" quest: the quest text says you gain Mahou for 12 hours, then spend it for 12 hours, and that a second circle turns it into a loop.^[3]

Scroll quests

The scroll quests are listed after Mortar and Pestle and Spells on the go!. Four of them are followed by a quest for the item the scroll gives you, and a fifth is the Strengthening scroll:^[3]

• "Scroll of Proximity Projection" quest is followed by "Keys of Proximity Projection" quest and the Crimson Black Keys of Proximity Projection. The quest text says you teleport onto a target and hit it, and that it does around the same damage as an Iron Sword.^[3]
• "Scroll of Weapon Projectiles" quest is followed by "Bow of Weapon Projectiles" quest and the Bow of Weapon Projectiles, which the quest text says has Normal and Projection modes.^[3]
• "Scroll of Spatial Disorientation" quest is followed by "Spatial Disorientation" quest and the Mystic Staff of Spatial Disorientation, which the quest text says flings entities, yourself included.^[3]
• "Scroll of Explosive Mana Condensation" quest is followed by "Explosive Mana Condensation" quest and the Mystic Staff of Explosive Mana Condensation. The quest text lists Beam, AOE and Big Explosion modes and warns you not to use it near your base.^[3]
• "Scroll of Strengthening" quest is the Strengthening scroll, which the quest text ties to getting more Mahou Tsukai weapons.^[3]

The Morgan line

"Power Consolidation Ritual" quest comes after Mortar and Pestle. Its text says it leads to the Mahou Lake, so don't do it near your base. "Mahou Lake" quest then asks for the Murky Water, and its text says the lake grows to about 20x20 blocks. It comes after Power Consolidation Ritual, Enough Mahou? Probably! and a quest called Getting Morgan, which isn't in the quest data I have.^[3]

"Caliburn" quest follows the lake and asks for Caliburn. Its text says some requirements are already stated in quests and some not yet, and lists the lake, 5,000 Mahou, and an Enchanted Diamond Sword with Smite thrown into the lake. "Got Morgan" quest asks for Morgan and comes after a quest called Upgrading Caliburn, which also isn't in the data I have.^[3]

Strengthened weapons and Replica

Several late quests come after quests called Strong Stick, Strong Sword, Strong Bow and Strong Shield. Those quests aren't in the data I have, so I can't tell you what they ask for.^[3]

• "Emrys" quest (after Strong Stick) asks for Emrys, which the quest text calls a lightning staff.^[3]
• "Clarent" quest (after Strong Sword) asks for Clarent, which the quest text says works as a shield and a sword.^[3]
• "Nobu" quest (after Strong Bow) asks for Nobu, which the quest text describes as a gun with 3 firing modes.^[3]

Replica has its own sub-chain. Three quests come after Strong Shield: "Scroll of Damage Exchange" quest (the Scroll of Damage Exchange), "Scroll of Immunity Exchange" quest (the Scroll of Immunity Exchange) and "Souls" quest (the Scroll of the Mystic Eyes of Death Collection). The Souls quest text says you need 5 whole Souls. "Replica" quest comes after all three and asks for the Replica. Its text says you get it by holding your Strengthened Shield to block an attack.^[3]

Almost everything in Mahou Tsukai is configurable, often with several options per spell. The values below come from config/mahoutsukai-server.toml exactly as this pack ships it. This is a tour of the options you're most likely to care about, not the whole file.^[1][6]

Your personal mana

• mana.MAX_MANA_CAP is 20,000. That is how high a player's personal mana can go.^[6]
• mana.MANA_REGEN_PER_TICK is 1, so you regenerate 1 mana per tick.^[6]
• mana.MANA_RECOVERY_SLEEP is 0.4, the share of your max mana you get back by sleeping.^[6]
• mana.MANA_INCREASE is 1, which is how much your max mana goes up each time it grows.^[6]
• mana.MANA_UP_COUNTER is 200, the amount of mana you spend before your max mana increases.^[6]
• mana.MANA_UP_COUNTER_MAX is 100, the maximum amount of mana required for an increase.^[6]
• mana.CREATIVE_IGNORES_MANA_COSTS is true, so mana costs are ignored in creative mode.^[6]

Ley lines

• eyes.leylines.LEY_AFFECTS_MANA is true, so ley lines affect your mana regen.^[6]
• eyes.leylines.LEY_DISTANCE is 300, how far apart ley points are from each other.^[6]
• eyes.leylines.LEY_FACTOR is 0.01, the factor used to calculate the bonus regen.^[6]
• eyes.leylines.LEY_FLAT is false, so the bonus regen is based on max mana rather than being a flat amount.^[6]

The interesting one is eyes.leylines.LEY_PUNISHMENT, which this pack sets to 0. The option's own description says that by default you lose 1 mana from regen for not being near a leyline, so with this value that penalty is not applied.^[6]

Mana storage

• [[config:config/mahoutsukai-server.toml#mana storage.ATTUNED_DIAMOND_CAPACITY]] is 2,000.^[6]
• [[config:config/mahoutsukai-server.toml#mana storage.ATTUNED_EMERALD_CAPACITY]] is 1,000.^[6]
• [[config:config/mahoutsukai-server.toml#mana storage.MANA_CIRCUIT_CAPACITY]] is 20,000.^[6]
• [[config:config/mahoutsukai-server.toml#mana storage.MANA_CIRCUIT_MAGITECH_CAPACITY]] is also 20,000.^[6]
• [[config:config/mahoutsukai-server.toml#mana storage.MANA_CIRCUIT_RANGE]] is 10, the distance things can be from a Mana Circuit and still use it.^[6]

Familiars and Mystic Code

• [[config:config/mahoutsukai-server.toml#familiar.summon familiar.FAMILIAR_CHUNKLOADS]] is true, so your familiar chunk loads.^[6]
• [[config:config/mahoutsukai-server.toml#familiar.summon familiar.FAMILIAR_HEALTH]] is 10.^[6]
• [[config:config/mahoutsukai-server.toml#familiar.summon familiar.SUMMON_FAMILIAR_MANA_COST]] is 200, the cost of using the scroll.^[6]
• [[config:config/mahoutsukai-server.toml#mystic code.FIRST_SORCERY_DURABILITY]] is 15, the durability of the Mystic Code - First Sorcery item.^[6]
• [[config:config/mahoutsukai-server.toml#mystic code.MYSTIC_CODE_FIRST_SORCERY_BLACKLIST]] lists Scroll of the Boundary of Drain Life and Scroll of Strengthening, so those two scrolls are blocked from First Sorcery.^[6]

Other values worth knowing
