Archon
by Safro
Archon is an elemental magic mod for Fabric that adds elemental weapons with abilities and a spellcasting system with unique spells.
What it does
Weapons in Archon carry elements, and each one comes with abilities tied to its element. Spells are cast through a spellcasting system, and the spells themselves are distinct from one another. Souls dropped by defeated creatures are part of the progression, and the mod adds bosses and necromancy themes around them.
Installation needs Fabric API and Spell Power Attributes. Spell Power Attributes supplies the spell power system that the mod uses to match spell schools to elements and raise spell strength over time. If Patchouli is installed, a grimoire can be crafted to read about the content in a guide book. Archon is client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files cover 1.20 – 1.20.6 for Fabric, and the code is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only.
