Magisterium
by Reoseah
Magisterium is a Fabric magic mod built around spell books, spell pages scattered through the world, and an Arcane Table that holds the book.
What it does
A spell book is a double container. Its pages are the spells themselves, and a player opens the book to read a spell, check what it needs, fill in its ingredients and then cast it. Spell Pages generate in dungeons, deserts, jungles, temples and strongholds, so the book fills up while exploring. The spell book sits in the Arcane Table next to utility items such as Bookmarks.
Some spells need Arcane Glyphs placed on the ground to define the area an effect covers. Players place glyphs by right-clicking the ground with Lapis Lazuli. A chant button starts a casting. The mod was first released on 2024-11-01 and last updated on 2024-11-27, and its latest Fabric file is 0.0.5.1 for 1.21.1. Builds cover 1.21.1 – 1.21.3, and Fabric API is required.
Magisterium runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. It is released under the MIT License and is open source, with public source code and an issue tracker.
