Skydude's Spell Origins

by skydude_

Skydude's Spell Origins links Origins origin choices to the spell schools of Iron's Spells 'n Spellbooks on Forge for 1.20.1, and each origin shapes how its school's spells hit.

ForgeClient and serverGNU General Public License v3.0 onlyOpen source1.20.1

What it does

Iron's Spells 'n Spellbooks is required, and Origins is optional, so a player chooses an origin that assigns a spell school and gains bonuses to it. Origin tiers raise school spell power in steps: a novice tier adds 15% to the origin's school, and an intermediate tier adds 30% along with one or two abilities. Each tier can also trade power away, since a fragility origin loses 20% spell power in other schools and a weakness origin loses magic resistance and spell power in the opposing school.

The mod supports single school origins for Blood, Holy, Ender, Evocation, Fire, Ice and Lightning, along with Nature, Aqua and Geo through its extra compatibility. Arcane, Eldritch, Magic Disbeliever and CounterSpell origins are excluded. Compatibility with Iron's Spells 'n Spellbooks requires the 1.20.1 build of both mods. Client and server both need the mod, and the code is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only.

Key features

  1. Origin spell power tiers

    Origins gain school spell power in steps, from +15% at novice tier to +30% at intermediate tier.

  2. School-based abilities

    Abilities can cast spells or summon creatures, with a chance to trigger that scales with the origin's spell school.

  3. Fragility and weakness trade-offs

    Fragility origins lose 20% spell power in other schools, and weakness origins lose magic resistance and power in the opposing school.

  4. Geomancy Plus compatibility

    Extra compatibility adds an Aqua and Geo class, and the mod also works alongside companion mods that extend magic and geomancy.
