Ars Magica 2.5
by TCLProject
Ars Magica 2.5 is a Forge magic mod for 1.7.10 that re-adds spell casting, staffs and caster blocks to Minecraft, with a spell creation system for players who build their own effects.
What it does
The mod restores several magic features from the original Ars Magica line: staffs, caster blocks, runes and a Moo Moo Farm are back in the game. Spells are assembled from components, shape modifiers and talents, and the spell icon set has been expanded considerably, so a player can design effects rather than pick from a fixed list. Recipes were added for items that could not be crafted before, along with new blocks, items and utility contraptions.
Ars Magica 2.5 is built for players who want to fight bosses with spells and explore a magic-focused survival world. It requires client and server: the server needs the mod, and every player who joins must run it too. Files are published for Forge only, and the only game version covered is 1.7.10, where the latest file is v1.6.7. The mod has compatibility with Enough Items and Magic Bees. The author notes that screenshots were updated and that more content has been added since the original release.
Key features
Spell creation system
Spells are built by combining components, shape modifiers and talents, so each cast can be arranged by the player.
Restored staffs and runes
Staffs, caster blocks and runes return as in the original mod, giving players a physical focus for their spells.
Expanded spell icons
A large set of new spell icons was added, so spells can be told apart at a glance in the spell interface.
Added recipes and blocks
Several items that could not be crafted before now have recipes, and new blocks and contraptions with utility were added.
