Primal Magick
by daedalus4096
Primal Magick is a Forge and NeoForge magic mod in which players harness primal sources, study a Grimoire and work through hundreds of recipes toward archmage-level magick.
What it does
Magick begins at a marble shrine in the Overworld. Players who step inside the shrine's device receive a first taste of magick, and a wand is crafted from a stick combined with magic dust. From there a bookshelf and an Arcane Workbench open the rest of the tree, including a workbench that strikes foes with lightning bolts.
Progress is built around research. Players study the Grimoire, run research projects and search for distant mysteries left by the Ancients, while hundreds of new recipes mark the path. Primal sources are harnessed as the central resource. The mod requires Common Network and runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Forge and NeoForge across seven release versions, 1.18.2 – 1.21.1, under the MIT License, and the source code is open.
