Ars Magica 2

Boo. Bet I spooked ya, After all, I bet none of you expected to see me again.

Anyway, that's not relevant right now. What IS relevant, is I have my own suggestion to this little batch of fun.

My own little suggestion?

Well, assuming you aren't dim and read the title you should know already. If not, I would like to suggest a mod by the name of Ars Magica 2.

The mod is based off of... something called Ars Magica, i'm not really sure about the origin, but the mod itself is what counts. Ars Magica adds a very indepth magical system to minecraft, as well as a few magical mobs with some magical themed tricks of their own.


The mod itself starts off simple enough - You need to find some of this cool shtuff called "Liquid Essence" scattered about. You slap a frame down next to it, cram a book into it, and bam - You are now a certified mage. Just. You have no spells. Should work on that.

Basically, the mod brings a huge new challenge to the world of minecraft, and that is securing your place in the realm of magic. Crafting spells is a hard business, finding materials of all sorts. And when I say crafting spells, I mean it. You can make your own magic from several effects - Targeting type, effect, etc. And you can mix and match these to your hearts content. Want a super cool ice lazor that produces light and digs for you? Sure. Want to make it heal them too for some reason? Don't see why you'd want to, but sure!

The mod, in short, adds a lot of drive and challenge for people like me that have no reason to play short of duties on the server, and exploring is loads more interesting when you have magic in play, as there's all sorts, Offensive, Defensive, and your good ol' utility. Because, y'know, who doesn't want to be able to teleport? Or fly for short periods of time?


Oh, for a side bonus, this gets in? So do I, if any of you happen to be going sick with Cory deprivation.

*Doesn't read post, what you said in steam was enough* HOLY CRAP CORY YES :3 WE SHOULD TOTALLY DO THAT THAT SOUNDS SO FRICKING FUN, YOU KNOW :3!!!

Hi Cory, world bank! ^^

Thank you for the idea, it sounds like a very interesting mod! It is also apparently paired a lot with Thaumcraft and Mystcraft, so perhaps this would make a good epic magic bundle that would ensure countless hours of play.

That, actually sounds like it would be pretty cool. And if people don't want to have to deal with the magic side, a good few of the magical mobs are rendered mute without magic. Y'know, like, there's a magical creeper that... all he does is drain your mana....
