Irons Spells 'n Spellbooks Restrictions
by Relimer
Irons Spells 'n Spellbooks Restrictions limits how quickly spells can be learned, so school magic gets stronger over time instead of all at once.
What it does
The mod is built on Iron's Spells 'n Spellbooks, which must be installed alongside it. Players learn spells from school magic, and this add-on controls which of them can be learned and when. Spells can require learning before use, and some require the player to reach a certain rarity first. The goal is to make spells less overpowered early in a game without intruding on normal play.
Each modded school can receive its own manuscript, and a cheaper manuscript lets a player learn a random spell. The restrictions work in the same way as the existing Eldritch spell restrictions, which take much longer to reach. Modpack makers can remove loot tables so a spell is only obtained through the learnSpell command. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. Files are published for Forge and NeoForge, covering 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, with 1.21.8 also listed among the supported game versions, under All rights reserved.

Per-school manuscripts

Cheaper random manuscript
A lower-cost manuscript teaches a random spell, giving an alternative route to new spells.
