The Elemental
by TeamNeon
Players who want spellcasting without carrying wands or staves can use The Elemental, an RPG-style magic mod in which the player's own character becomes an elemental creature.
What it does
The Elemental ties magic to the player's identity instead of to held items. Spells and attunements are bound to the player character, so casting works without wands, staves or books, which the mod's author describes as drawing inspiration from Electroblob's Wizardry Origins. A generated World Altar is where a player settles on one of nine elemental paths, and that choice shapes which spells are available.
Kingdom Building adds a Kingdom Starter block that claims land and acts as a base for research and progression. A player can travel from the spawn point to other kingdoms from there. The mod is in development, and the author asks for feedback. It requires Balm and Fabric API, runs on client and server, and is published for Fabric and NeoForge for 1.21.11, under All rights reserved and not open source.
