What it does

Players scavenge ancient ruins in deserts and at the bottom of the sea for treasure used in rituals, and raw mud blocks can be opened with a trowel to find more. Clay tablets record the knowledge found in these places, and a player can decipher a tablet or reconstruct an ancient grimoire to uncover hidden magic. Many new items tie into ancient cultures, and each one needs the proper ritual application to work.

The rituals follow their own logic and progression, with several steps and block structures for each one. Many creatures can be summoned to help in battle, based on real mythology, alongside mythological tools. Hidden structures tell the stories of ancient travelers, which an average person can use to help ceremonies. Diving too deep into black magic risks losing the path and never returning, though a final sacrifice can bring a player back.

Ars Theurgia requires Fabric API and GeckoLib. The mod is licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only and is open source. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. Files are published for 1.16.3 – 1.16.5, with 1.0.6 for 1.16.5 as the latest.

Questions

Does Ars Theurgia need Fabric API?

Yes. Fabric API is required, and GeckoLib is required as well. Both must be installed next to Ars Theurgia.

Does the server need the mod?

Yes. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too.

What happens if a player goes too deep into black magic?

Diving too deep risks losing the path of the dark arts, and the player may never return. A final sacrifice is described as the way to go back.
