AM2PlayGround
by AirBurn0
AM2PlayGround is a Forge addon for Ars Magica 2.5 that adds spell parts, talents, rituals and items to the spellbook system.
What it does
The addon extends Ars Magica 2.5 with new spell shapes, components and modifiers, along with talents, rituals, items and crafting recipes. Some additions draw on other magic mods, so a spellbook can gain new parts that work alongside Thaumic Tinkerer, Forbidden Magic, Blood Magic and Traveller's Gear content. A modified spellbook and a new spell component are included, and a few new items can be damaged by falling or the void.
Ars Magica 2.5 must be installed for the addon to launch. The mod is built for Minecraft 1.7.10 only and is published for Forge alone. The server and every player need the mod installed. The license is CC-BY-NC-ND-3.0, and the code is not open source. The author marks the addon as a work in progress that may still contain bugs.
