Scriptor Magicae
by ssblur
Scriptor Magicae lets players write custom spells by arranging words into sentence-like structures, with spell words found in the world.
What it does
Spells in the mod are built much like sentences, each word contributing a part of the effect. Words are scattered through the world as loot, so a player collects them while exploring and combines them into new spells. Players gain knowledge power as they discover and learn words, which lets them write spells with greater effects over time.
The mod suits adventure playthroughs and multiplayer servers where spellcrafting is meant to feel like part of vanilla gear. Both the client and the server need the mod installed, and it depends on Architectury API, Fabric API, Quilted Fabric API (QFAPI) / Quilt Standard Libraries (QSL) and Unfocused. Patchouli is optional. The project is open source under the CC0 1.0 Universal license and is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt across 11 release versions, 1.19.2 – 1.21.1.
Key features
Custom spell writing
Players write their own spells by combining discovered words into sentence-like structures.
Words found in the world
Spell words are randomly placed in the world, so most players find a range of them through normal exploration.
Knowledge power
Learning words grows the player's knowledge, which allows spells with greater effects to be drafted.
Reverse engineering spells
A dedicated player can work out how existing spells are constructed and build variations from them.
