Iron's Spells 'n Spellbooks

If you're into magic AND exploration, try out Iron's Spells 'n Spellbooks. This is an amazing magic mod that adds a ton of spells for you to play with. You can find a Spell Book as exploration loot, or you can start by making a Flimsy Journal or Ironbound Tome to hold a few spells. We'll even provide a few starter Spell Scrolls for you! These can be cast as single-use items, or placed in your Spell Book to cast at-will with Mana.

Asks for: Flimsy Journal, Ironbound Tome

Once you've gathered a Spell Scroll, we can inscribe it into our spell tome using the Inscription Table. In the interface of the table, you can insert the Spell Tome you wish to inscribe your spell scrolls into. You can then add a Spell Scroll to the empty slot on the left side underneath the tome, then click on the icon above it to inscribe the spell. Each spell tome can hold up to a different amount of spells overall, with our starter spellbook only holding 5 or 6. It might be a good idea to upgrade that soon! You can also remove spells inscribed in the tome by selecting the spell in the interface, then clicking on the Spell Scroll on the right side to take it out.

Once you get your hands on some Ink, you can use this to craft new spell scrolls using the Spell Forge. For each scroll, you'll need some Ink, paper, and a specific item that determines the Spell school you wish to craft. You can use JEI to see all of the items for each school! The tier of Ink used determines the level of the spell you can craft. Certain spells can only be crafted with higher inks. Pro Tip: Trading with Piglins is an easy way to get Crying Obsidian, but there are other methods too!

Asks for: Common Ink, Epic Ink, Legendary Ink, Rare Ink, Scroll Forge, Uncommon Ink

Spells can be cast by equipping your Spell Book in its curio slot. Once equipped, you can open up the scroll wheel using the R keybind by default. Casting the selected spell can be done by pressing V. These can all be changed in your keybinds. Try searching for category:"Iron's Spells 'n Spellbooks - General". There are also quick cast options!

Throughout your adventures, you'll run into plenty of Arcane loot. The most common item you'll find is Arcane Essence. This can be used to create Arcane Cloth, brew Mana Potions, and more! You'll also find Blank Runestones, which can be used to craft Runestones that create some of the most powerful gear in the mod. Non-blank Runestones can also be found after killing wizards. Mithril is a legendary metal not obtainable through usual methods in the void, or at least what passes for usual. Perhaps some magical source could provide it, some sort of gate...

Asks for: Arcane Essence, Blank Runestone, Raw Mithril

Within the Nether, you might run into a Nether Castle. Across the castle, you might see Piles of Armor Scraps. Mining these piles might seem tempting, but might disturb the Ancient Knights that wore this armor. Defeating one is necessary for progression, as these drop Cinder Essence. Also of note is Hoglins of the crimson forests dropping the appropriately named Hogskin, which is required for some improved spellbook crafts.

Asks for: Cinder Essence, Hogskin

Lesser Spell Slot Improvements can be crafted from a lot of Hogskin and some Arcane Cloth. They can be repeatedly applied to any Spellbook via the Arcane Anvil to grant up to a max of 12 spell slots, even for the Flimsy Journal!

Asks for: Lesser Spell Slot Improvement

The Alchemist Cauldron is an upgrade to your regular old brewing stand. This Cauldron can be used to brew potions, and is also used to break down Spell Scrolls for a chance to recycle the Ink used to create it. This is also the main way to regularly obtain Blood Vials. Just supply a body inside of the Cauldron!

Asks for: Alchemist Cauldron

This book looks old, but is filled with an ancient magical power. You can normally find this in Ancient City loot, but here in the void as a reward from the two Gate Pearls: - A Tale of Life and Death, - The Last Battle of a Fallen Kingdom

Using Dragonskin dropped from the Ender Dragon, you can create this legendary spell book. The Dragonskin Spellbook grants a boost to Ender spells, as well as a good amount of max mana.

The Vampiric Spellbook is a tome made of Bloody Vellum encasing the remains of the Ruined Book used to craft it. While it doesn't immediately offer the max amount of spell slots, it does boost two particular spells, boost blood spell power, and give spell resistance in addition to the large mana boost.

Asks for: Vampiric Spell Book

The Ancient Codex is one of the legendary spell books that can be crafted from a Ruined Book. This spell tome is suited for more general use, granting cooldown reduction and max mana.

If you want to infuse your weapons, armor, and spell books with even more power, one of the best options is crafting some Upgrade Orbs. These Orbs are created by combining an Empty Upgrade Orb with 8 Runes. To add the Upgrade Orb to your equipment, use the Arcane Anvil. Up to 3 Orbs can be applied per equipment piece.

Asks for: Empty Upgrade Orb

The Arcane Anvil will quickly become your best friend when using this mod. This anvil can be used to upgrade spells, equipment, and even imbue spells onto your gear!. Have a favorite spell but it's rather weak? Upgrade it using higher tier inks using the Arcane Anvil!

No matter what kind of spell school you choose to use, there is an armor set just for you. To make these, you'll need to make Arcane Cloth first. Combine several pieces of the cloth with a Rune, and you can make some of the strongest mage armor!

Asks for: Arcane Cloth

Arcane Essence can be useful in making your first magic armor set. When combined with a piece of leather armor, it creates a piece of the Wandering Magician Set. This is an early game armor, but can be great when you need extra mana to cast better spells!
