Adds original spellbooks for each vanilla progression tier. Become a mage with area-focused combat, powerful defenses, and high mana recovery efficiency.
Vyklade’s Spellbooks adds original spellbooks for each tier of game progression, allowing you to embrace the mage playstyle throughout your entire adventure.
Required Dependencies: This mod requires Hytalor and Unified Magic Theory to function.
Spellbooks - Area Specialists
Spellbooks are designed as area-focused weapons. They lack direct single-target damage but excel at hitting multiple enemies with frontal piercing attacks, powerful defenses, and high mana recovery efficiency.
Abilities
Left Click - Bash
A basic 3-hit combo dealing 5 damage (regardless of tier) with high knockback. Each hit recovers some mana. Use this when enemies are weak and mana is low.
Charged Left Click - Ruin
The main attack ability. After a 0.8s charge, fire a beam of magical energy that pierces through all enemies in a line. Damage scales with spellbook tier. Costs 20 Mana and 0.10 Stamina.
Held Right Click - Focus
Channel magic by sacrificing stamina to regain mana faster. Each second of focus replenishes about 20% of your mana while burning 10-12% of your stamina.
Focus - Blocking
While focusing, you block all attacks from all directions using mana instead of the normal blocking system. Costs 15 mana per block. Running out of mana or stamina while blocking causes a block-crash.
Focus + Left Click - Manapush
While focusing, press left click to perform a radial AoE that pushes all nearby enemies away. Costs 30 mana instead of stamina like a weapon’s shove.
Signature - Sacred Soil
Accumulate Signature Energy by hitting enemies (1 energy per hit). With 12 Signature Energy, cast Sacred Soil - a deployable zone dealing damage over time and applying a heavy slowing effect to all enemies inside.
Mage Armor
This mod also adds armor designed for magicians, featuring:
- Projectile protection instead of physical defense
- Mana regeneration instead of max mana bonuses
These armors are separate from vanilla armors and won’t conflict with other armor mods.
Known Issues
- Signature ability does not work in PVP due to deployable limitations
- Models and textures are not final
