Arcane Arsenal
Hello, this is a mod me and a few other people have been working on called Arcane Arsenal! A magic-themed content mod, that main focus is spellbooks that contain a collection of unique spells, as well as new magic related Items, Weapons, Armors, Accessories, Enemies, and NPCs.
Mage has always been my favorite class to play in modded Terraria; However, it always felt like Mage was always given to short end of the stick especially when it comes to modded Terraria. There never felt like there was a high-quality magic expansion mod that help mage made you feel like an actual wizard using your knowledge and experience to deal with situations you may encounter.
Arcane Arsenal wants to make your magic experience feel refreshing and brand new.
Spells & Spellbooks
Spells are magic Attacks, Utility, Movement, or Support that are contained within the Spell Scroll
They have properties that interact with other mechanics. Some of those properties are:
Spell Type: Whether it's an attack spell, healing spell or Boosting/Buffing spell.
Spell Element: Whether its Arcane, Fire, Earth, Water, or Wind.
Spell Cost: The amount of mana (and/or other materials) required to cast the spell.
Spell Cooldown: The time required for the spell to be recharged and be usable again.
Base Damage: The damage that attack spells deal. They get multiplied by the current spell book's damage multiplier value.
Rarity/Tier: How strong the spell is. They can only be used on spell books of same rarity or above.
Spell Books are magic items that can contain spells. This is required to be used for the spells to be used.
Spellbooks can obtained through various means like crafting, finding them out in the world, dropping from enemies and bosses, and through buying them through NPCs.
Inscription Table: Adding Spells to Spellbooks
The spells you find will be able to be added onto spell books via the Inscription Table, which is a new Crafting Table where you can bind your spells to your spell book.
Here is a showcase of how the Inscription Table functions in game:
