Occultism in All the Mods 11

Occultism is a ritual magic mod built around summoning spirits, called demons, from "The Other Place". Those spirits do the work for you: they automate tasks, store large amounts of items, and mine in void dimensions. The mod also covers enchanted tools and jewelry, plus familiars that support you.^[1]

The mod is inspired by Jonathan Stroud's Bartimaeus books, where magicians rely on summoned spirit slaves to cast magic on their behalf. If you like that idea, this mod is for you. It also suits anyone who wants magic-driven automation and storage.^[1]

This pack includes Occultism 1.249.0.^[2]

Getting started

The mod teaches itself through an in-game guide, so you don't need an outside walkthrough. This is how you open it:^[1]

1. Break grass until it drops Demon's Dream Seeds, much like getting vanilla wheat seeds.^[1]
2. Craft the seeds with a book to get the Dictionary of Spirits.^[1]
3. Follow the instructions in the dictionary. It leads you to the "Third Eye", which lets you find otherworld groves hidden in plain sight, and then to summoning your first spirit.^[1]

Where it fits in the pack

The mod is not on the ATM Star quest path, and no quests in this pack involve it. You can pick it up whenever you like, and nothing in the progression forces you to.^[1]

Unverified The sources I have don't show whether the pack changes any Occultism recipes or config values, or how the mod ties into other mods' progression. Check the recipe blocks and config entries on the other sections of this guide before assuming default behavior.

Welcome to Occultism! The mod's own description sums up the start: you craft the Dictionary of Spirits, follow that in-game guide, gain the "Third Eye" to find otherworld groves, and finally summon your first spirit. Everything else builds on that book, so it's the first thing you make.^[1]

Step 1: Get the Dictionary of Spirits

The mod's description says you break grass until Demon's Dream Seeds drop, much like vanilla wheat seeds, then craft those seeds with a book. That's the mod's general description, so check the recipe below, which is the one this pack lists for Dictionary Of Spirits.^[1][3]

Step 2: Follow the book

The dictionary has Getting Started entries for the chalk brush, chalks, ritual bowls and your first ritual. Those entries point you to the ritual tools below, and these are the recipes this pack lists for them.^{[3][4][5][6][7]}

Step 3: See what's hidden

Occultism is a ritual magic system built around summonable spirits. According to the mod's own description, it lets you automate tasks, store large amounts of items and have demons mine in void dimensions. Here is what the pack's sources confirm about how those systems work.^[1]

Ritual automation

The ritual catcher collects the results of nearby completed rituals, and its tooltip gives a working area of 21x9x21. If no output item is present, or the output has already been collected, it creates a Flame of Automation. There is also a dark variant of the catcher with the same tooltip.^[8]

Every pentacle needs exactly one central bowl. The golden, iesnium and dark sacrificial bowls, the celestial chalice and the eldritch chalice are all central bowls, so don't put two in the same setup.^[8]

Spirit jobs

The pack includes these Books of Calling. The job names are all the sources give me, so I won't guess at the details of each one.^[3]

• Book of Calling: Foliot Janitor^[3]
• Book of Calling: Foliot Farmer^[3]
• Book of Calling: Foliot Lumberjack^[3]
• Book of Calling: Foliot Transporter^[3]
• Book of Calling: Djinni Machine Operator^[3]

Book of Calling: Foliot TransporterMod recipe

Crafting Shapeless

• Book Of Binding Bound Foliot
• any chest

Recipe id: occultism:crafting/book_of_calling_foliot_transport_items

The Foliot Transporter book is a shapeless crafting recipe from the mod itself.

Dimensional mineshaft

The dimensional mineshaft discards any items it can't store, so you need to empty it regularly. You can do that by hand, with hoppers, or with a transporter spirit.^[8]

• Top: lamp slot.^[8]
• Bottom: ore slots.^[8]
• Any other side: all slots.^[8]

Storage and portable gear

The stable wormhole's tooltip shows whether it is linked to a storage actuator and at which position, so you can check a link at a glance.^[8]

The in-game guide describes the ender satchel as a portable ender chest. The apprentice ritual satchel is meant to spare you from carrying many chalks and other ritual items, and the artisanal ritual satchel is the faster version that gets help from an Afrit.^[8]

Pack changes

The pack adds its own shapeless crafting recipe that turns an ingot into Iesnium Dust. It is not a mod default.^[3]

Iesnium DustAdded by the pack

Crafting Shapeless

• any iesnium ingot
• any ore hammer

Occultism's own guide book, the Dictionary Of Spirits, lays out the mod's progression in this pack. Its chapters cover getting started, pentacles, rituals, spirits, summoning, possession, familiars and storage.^{[3][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17]}

Unverified Whether the pack's quest book guides you through Occultism is not shown in the sources here. Check the quest chapters in game, and use the Dictionary of Spirits as your roadmap in the meantime.

Spirit tiers

The pack has Books of Binding for the Foliot, Djinni, Afrit and Marid spirits: Book of Binding: Foliot, Book of Binding: Djinni, Book of Binding: Afrit and Book of Binding: Marid. Each can also be made starting from a Book of Binding: Empty. The Dictionary also has a dedicated page on spirit tiers.^[3][18]

The Dictionary also has a separate miner ritual entry for each of the Foliot, Djinni, Afrit and Marid spirits, plus an Ancient miner entry.^{[19][20][21][22][23]}

Ritual bowls and Iesnium

Ritual bowls come in several variants. The pack has recipes for the Copper Sacrificial Bowl, Golden Ritual Bowl and Dark Silver Sacrificial Bowl, plus dark variants such as the Dark Copper Sacrificial Bowl and Dark Golden Ritual Bowl. The Dictionary also has a ritual entry for an Iesnium sacrificial bowl.^[3][24]

Iesnium has recipes for Iesnium Nugget, Iesnium Ingot, Block of Iesnium and the Iesnium Pickaxe. The pack also adds its own Iesnium Dust recipe, shown below and filed under the ore hammer processing recipes. That one is a pack change, not a mod default.^[3]

Iesnium DustAdded by the pack

Crafting Shapeless

• any iesnium ingot
• any ore hammer

Recipe id: alltheores:processing/ore_hammer/iesnium_dust_from_ingot

This Iesnium dust recipe is added by the pack.

Storage stabilizer tiers

The Dictionary's storage chapter has five stabilizer entries, tier 1 through tier 5. The crafting rituals chapter lists the same five tiers.^{[25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34]}

Occultism connects to other mods in this pack through its ritual system. The pack adds a handful of ritual recipes that produce items from other mods, plus one sawmill recipe that makes an Occultism item. Everything below comes from recipes the pack itself adds.^[3]

Crystalline infusion: wands

The pack adds Occultism rituals under the crystalline infusion ritual type that produce Crystalline Wand and Perfected Crystalline Wand. Both are pack-defined items rather than items from a standalone mod.^[3]

Recipe id: allthemods:crystalline_infusion/crystalline_wand

Perfected Crystalline WandAdded by the pack

• Crystalline Infusion

Recipe id: allthemods:crystalline_infusion/perfect_crystalline_wand

Crystalline infusion: catalysts and GeOre shards

The same crystalline infusion ritual type also produces a catalyst item and a GeOre shard for each of a long list of resources. Examples are Iron Catalyst and Iron GeOre Shard, and the list runs from coal and copper through to allthemodium, vibranium and unobtainium. The pack adds all of these recipes. Their ids use the spelling "transumtation" for the shard recipes, so use that spelling if you search for them in a recipe viewer.^[3]

Meteoric infusion: Refined Storage infinite parts

A second pack-added ritual type, meteoric infusion, produces Infinite Energy Storage Block, Infinite Energy Storage Disk and Infinite Energy Storage Part. Occultism is the route to these items in this pack.^[3]

Unverified The exact ingredients, ritual requirements and output amounts for these pack-added recipes were not available in the sources, so check the recipe blocks above or your recipe viewer in-game for the details. This site does hold All the Mods 11's own recipes, read from the pack itself: look the item up in the item browser.
