Zauber
by Dev0Louis
Zauber adds a set of spells, a Spell Table block and spell books, so players can cast magic from the Magic category on Fabric and Quilt.
What it does
Spells are learned directly, and most of them can be obtained through the Spell Table, a new block. The spell list covers Arrow, Dash, Pull, Push, Fire, Ice, Rewind and Suicide. Master Spells are a higher tier that accomplish Goals. The Spell Table is charged by natural lightning strikes, and channeling does not produce that charge.
Mana Potions are brewed in a Brewing Stand, with Chorus Flowers as one of the ingredients. Polymer lets vanilla players join a server that runs the mod, so they can use the spells without installing anything extra. Players who have the mod installed can use its features in a normal vanilla world too.
Zauber requires Cloth Config API, Fabric API, Nebula, Polymer and YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL). Nebula, Polymer and Trinkets are bundled inside the mod. It runs as client and server and is open source under the MIT License. Builds cover 1.20 – 1.21.1 across 7 release versions, with 1.4.6-alpha.5 for 1.21.1 as the latest Fabric file and 1.2.6 for 1.20.1 as the latest Quilt file.
Key features

What the author says
Most of these Spells are available through the Spell Table, a new Block. This Block can be charged through the power of lightning. But only natural Lightning don't even try to use channeling.
