A comprehensive magic mod featuring grimoires, spellcasting tools, 14 unique spells including shapeshifting, and 24 soulstone mounts. Transform into wolves, bears, and liches while mastering offensive and defensive magic.
Mythbound Magic brings a full magic system to Hytale, complete with grimoires, spellcasting tools, shapeshifting abilities, and an extensive mount collection.
Note: Cindercloth armor is required to cast most spells until dedicated magic armor is added.
Magic System
The mod uses a grimoire-based casting system:
- Create a Grimoire that holds the knowledge of a spell
- Use a Spellcasting Tool to imprint a spell from the grimoire
- Cast the Spell using your tool
Spells are physical items that can eventually be placed on bookshelves, letting mages build actual spell libraries.
