CURRENTLY IN EARLY TESTING

this is an early stage test of the first few magic tiers to get feedback from my players before i commit long term to any specific direction and may change, more content will be added longterm

this mod is designed to add magic to the world and hopefully increase long term content

i am purposely leaving this guide short and vague on purpose so i dont spoil the fun stuff for you all.

To get started with our magic system the very first intro point is going to be an aether heart and 4 ritual stones placed two blocks away from it on each side. this is useless without fuel however, you will need to obtain unaspected aether in one of two ways, the main intended way is through an aetheric condenser which when left running will accumulate about 2 aether per minute, take the aether and place it into the heart and activate it. the heart will now burn through aether to create a new minibiome called the asternium.

the astenium is your gateway to magic, the very first thing you will notice is that all of the plants on your new blue grass will change into magical versions of themselves with new features, leaving the heart running in a fully spread asternium biome will go even further and start producing asternium crystals for you to harvest for various uses, be aware however that you are not the only one interested in the spread of magic and you may end up calling a wraith to your grove. wraiths will attack players in the grove and can be killed to obtain materials and some seeds to grow the new crops that will be harvested for even more unaspected aether, your gonna want a lot of it later on.

if you have a fruit tree in your grove it will change into a crystal tree, which bears edible crystal fruit. you can eat these like normal or drink their juice and make some wine, but the real trick is condensing that wine in a boiler the same way you would make aqua vitae to produce crystal lumps to grind into crystal dust. the crystal dust can be combined with unaspected aether in the aetheric catalyst converter to produse crystal aspected aether. congratulations! your very first aspected aether which is the first step in weilding your own magic!

i encourage you all to test out recipes and experiment with your aether to see what else you can do with it, you might find out theres a lot more to it than im telling you

I am only making this mod for the Moonlit fantasy server, i am very unlikely to change details that my players dont want
