Iron's Spells 'n Spellbooks

A large magic mod that adds a lot of magic, dungeons, and adventures in the great sorcerers-style. You can learn charms, cast spells, create magic scrolls, develop mana, and wear fashionable artifacts. And of course, fight strong magical opponents to gain even more knowledge and loot.

The First Steps

At the start of the game, you are welcome by a small upgrade – a mana strip above your saturation strip. Here, you can see how much mana is left and how quickly it restores. Yes, just like health points, mana can restore by itself using the character’s reserves, but you can also replenish it with potions and artifacts.

The second compliment from the developers is a book of instructions for the mod. It’s rather detailed and contains all the necessary crafts and formulas. Although the book is available in English only, everything is intuitively clear there. Another bonus – unlike many other developers, the authors made the book available in full from the very beginning instead of opening it by parts depending on your upgrade level.

Dungeons

The mod adds several new and rather impressive dungeons. These are a few types of towers, the Witcher’s house in the swamps, and a couple of mysterious dungeons. As it should be, there are complex – and new – mobs inside the dungeons that you’ll have to fight, a bit of loot, a few useful items… In general, it’s interesting and useful to explore them, as well as they significantly diversify the vanilla survival process.

Mobs

In total, six ordinary mobs with enhanced characteristics and powerful attacks have been added to the game, as well as one Boss – the king of the stillborn, whom not everyone can overcome.

The authors have really done their best, bringing not quantity, but quality into the game: each of the mobs has their personal attack style, animations, and unique weapons. Well, it’s better to see the local boss once – it’s huge, dangerous, features about 5 types of attacks, including summoning helpers, can fly, and has 300 HPs in stock.

Weapons and Armor

Since the mod is still not about battles, but about magic, there aren’t too many weapons inside – only two blades. They are impossible to craft, only to be knocked out of mobs or found in dungeons. The blades are pretty good in terms of the indicators, the Mage Fighter is equal to a Netherite vanilla sword, and the Flamberg gives +11 damage points. You can also upgrade them with enchantments or scrolls.

There is far more armor in mod – eight full sets – and you can craft it yourself. Armor is good both for protection (its indicators are equal to the Netherite) and it’s crafted primarily for wizards, because it allows you to restore mana quickly, increases its amount, and so on. Well, this armor also looks rather impressive.

The mod also adds new weapons – Spell Books. In fact, it’s a local version of magic wands. Depending on its strength and rarity, each book contains from four to six slots for spells that you can alternate during the battle. There is also a staff, which works according to a similar principle, but you can craft books even at the beginning of the game, but it will be possible to get the Staff only after overcoming the Boss.

Other

Besides, special enchanted scrolls, new potions, magic runes, and much more will appear in the game – magical and dangerous. In addition to the items, themed blocks will also be introduced, such as altars, magic anvils, and boilers for recipes for special magic crafts.
