Hemalurgy
by leafreynolds
Hemalurgy is a Forge and NeoForge magic mod that brings the Hemalurgy practice from Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn series to Minecraft, set on the planet Scadrial.
What it does
The mod draws on the Cosmere, the shared fictional universe Brandon Sanderson created across many worlds, each with its own magic. Hemalurgy follows the Mistborn series closely where that is practical, and adapts it so that it works as gameplay. It is meant to be used with the Allomancy and Feruchemy mods, and it is built on the Cosmere mod.
Hemalurgy lets a player steal power from a killed mob. Killing an entity transfers a share of its attack damage, and the power it carried, into the player. Physical, mental, enhancement, temporal, cognitive and spiritual powers are each taken from different sources, and the mod adds improved night vision and faster experience gain as incremental effects. Players cannot use these stolen powers in some cases, which keeps the mechanic from being trivial.
Hemalurgy requires Cosmere and Curios API. The server and every player need the mod installed. Files are published for 1.19.2 and 1.20.1, and the mod is open source under the MIT License.
Key features
Power theft from mobs
Killing most entities steals a share of their attack damage, except players, and the power they carried.
Allomantic and Feruchemical powers
Stolen physical, mental, enhancement and temporal Allomantic powers, and physical, cognitive and spiritual Feruchemical powers, are gained through the kill.
Night vision and experience
Incremental improved night vision and a faster experience gain rate are two of the effects the mod grants.
Power restriction
Players are prevented from using some powers, so stolen abilities have limits on use.

What the author says
The Cosmere is a universe devised by Brandon Sanderson, encompassing many worlds, each with their own variation of magic. This mod aims to bring Hemalurgy (from the Mistborn series' planet named Scadrial) specifically to Minecraft, ideally in a way as lore-friendly as possible while still making sense for gameplay…
