Dreamless Spells
by Iceforkk
Dreamless Spells is a NeoForge addon for Iron's Spells 'n Spellbooks that adds a new anti-mage school for players who prefer weapons and armor to magic.
What it does
The mod targets fights against mages. It adds equipment, including armor sets and a bow, that players can use to take on spellcasters without relying on magic of their own. Its gear lets a fighter exchange mage-related attributes for buffs on swords and bows, so weapon-focused players get a fighting option built around melee and ranged combat.
Dreamless Spells requires Iron's Spells 'n Spellbooks and its dependencies to work correctly. Installation needs NeoForge and the 1.21.1 release, since files are published only for that version. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. The author uses All rights reserved, so the code is not open source, although the source code is publicly available.
Key features
Anti-mage school
A new school named Empty is added, built for a playstyle that counters spellcasting rather than using it.
Two sets per school
Each school gains two new armor sets, giving players several gear options for the same fight.
Mage-debuff spells
Spells in this school apply short-lasting debuffs to enemies, with set effects tied to the school.
Curios-compatible armor
Armor pieces work alongside Curios slots, which Iron's Spells also uses.

Use cases
Melee against casters
A sword-focused player can keep armor effects strong while closing the distance on a spellcasting opponent.
Ranged play
A bow user can rely on the bow and exchanged attributes instead of taking any spells into the fight.
Who it’s for: The mod suits players in Iron's Spells 'n Spellbooks worlds who want fights against mages to rely on weapons and armor. Server owners who run the spell mods can add it with the same install on both sides.
How it compares
Legendary Mage is an alternative under the MIT License, open source, built for NeoForge 1.21.1 with client and server use. Crystal Chronicles is also for NeoForge 1.21.1 and the client and server, but it is not open source and is released under All rights reserved. Stars Aligned uses a custom license for the same version and environment.
