Arcanus: Continuum

Arcanus: Continuum represents the evolution of concepts established in Arcanus: Legacy. This is a magic mod with a unique spellcasting system inspired by Wynncraft, but significantly improved and refined.

The mod was separated into a standalone project due to fundamental differences from Legacy. While both versions are compatible with each other, simultaneous use may cause some confusion for players, so it's recommended to choose only one option.

Spell System

To select a spell, you need to combine mouse actions corresponding to eight slots on your staff. Each action is associated with a specific shape: square for left button, circle for right button. When casting a spell, you'll see these shapes around your crosshair, and other players will see them in front of your character.

Spell Creation

To create your own spell, you'll need a spell book and a lectern. The number of available forms and effects depends on the knowledge scrolls obtained from the local wizard. In the creation interface, you'll see spell forms on the left and magical effects on the right.

Forms determine how the effect is delivered to the target. For example, the "self" form applies effects to the caster, while the "projectile" form affects everything it hits. Effects represent specific magical actions: damage dealing, freezing, and others.

Documentation and Settings

Complete description of all mod capabilities is contained in the in-game book "Compendium Arcanus". It's recommended to study it carefully to fully master all functions. The mod supports flexible configuration, including the ability for pack creators to disable specific spell forms and effects.
