SlashNouveau - Ars Nouveau & SlashBlade
by mumu17
SlashNouveau lets Ars Nouveau spells be cast and triggered through SlashBlade, linking the two magic systems on Forge for 1.20.1.
What it does
Spells cast from an Ars Nouveau SpellBook can fire SlashBlade projectiles, and the spell costs ProudSoul from SlashBlade instead of Ars Nouveau mana. ProudSoul regenerates up to a set limit by drawing on Ars Nouveau mana, so the two resource pools are tied together. Players build a spell in the SpellBook, and the mod supports up to 10 different spells with quick selection, including the dedicated slots. Spells only activate during melee attacks, a limit the author added for safety reasons.
The mod depends on Ars Nouveau, ArsCurios, CastLib and SlashBlade:Resharped, and all four must be installed alongside it. It runs on the client and the server, so both sides need it. Files exist for Forge only, in a single game version, 1.20.1, and the latest build is 2.0.0 from 2026-01-31. The code is open source under the MIT License, and the source is public.
Key features

ProudSoul as spell cost
Casting through the mod draws ProudSoul from SlashBlade rather than Ars Nouveau mana.
Mana-fed ProudSoul regeneration
ProudSoul refills up to a limit by consuming Ars Nouveau mana, linking the two resource bars.
SpellBook casting
Up to 10 spells can be used from the SpellBook, with quick selection that works with dedicated slots.
