Malum - Arma
by ApacheHC
Malum - Arma is an addon for the Malum magic mod that adds runic alloy weapons and a rune system aimed at combat.
What it does
The addon adds a new weapon type made from Runic Alloy, a material that gives weapons a runic ability. Weapon forms include the sword, greatsword, glaive, hatchet and greataxe, and they sit in a new family of fashioned runic alloy weapons. The author says more weapons are planned for later builds.
Runes are socketed into a weapon through rune slots, and each rune grants an effect that depends on which rune it is. Each rune comes with one unique drawback, and a weapon can carry only one rune, so the choice matters. Named runes in the set include Mana Redirection, Spatial Carving, Opposing Soul and Gashing. The author notes that the rune effects are still being explored.
Malum - Arma requires Malum, and it is published only for NeoForge, for 1.21.1. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
