Fixed server startup crash
Construct's Casting v2.0.0
This is quite a big update, which has been cooking for a few months now. I've marked it as a beta because I haven't tested all of the new features exhaustively, which means that there may be bugs in this build (which, as always, should be reported to the GitHub).
Since the last update, there have been an insane amount of downloads (about two hundred thousand!) Big thanks to people downloading this mod and including it in their modpacks.
New Tools:
This update includes an array of new tools for mages, along with the parts to make them. They provide stat boosts to the wielder and are made from a unique set of materials.
Traveler's Spellbook: Made from two Spellbook Covers and one Spellbook Pages, this spellbook is ultimately less powerful but more flexible than its Plated counterpart.
Plated Spellbook Rework: The Plated Spellbook has been converted into a multipart tool, fairly specialized in magic power and magic defense. Made from one Spellbook Plating, one Spellbook Covers, and one Spellbook Pages.
Wand: A small casting implement, made from two Faceted Gems and one Wand Rod.
Battlestaff: A cross between a polearm and a wizard's staff, good at magic and decent at melee. Made from one Broad Axe Head, one Faceted Gem, one Tough Rod, and one Wand Rod.
New Modifiers
Affinity Slots: A new slot type for tools that allows you to level magic upgrades past the ordinary limit of 3 levels. Available from the Improvable ability and the Paper material.
Improvable: Ability, applied to any tool, which grants +2 Affinity Slots per level.
Spellbook Strap: Ability, applied to leggings, that allows you to swap the Spellbook equipped on your character with one stored in the Leggings' inventory.
Spellblade: Ability, applied to melee weapons, which casts the spell imbued on the tool on melee hit. Requires the Imbued ability.
Ringbearer: Ability, applied to chestplates, which gives the wearer +2 Curio Ring slots.
Expedient**:** Upgrade which grants +10% Cast Time Reduction per level.
Slot Improvement: Upgrade, applied to Spellbooks, which adds +1 Spell Slot, up to 15 maximum.
Addon Integration
This mod now integrates two Iron's Spellbooks addons with Tinkers Construct, Cataclysm Spellbooks and T.O Magic 'n Extras. Specifically, integrating the schools of magic from these addons: Aqua, Technomancy, and Abyssal. This entails recipes to craft essences, runes, and spell power upgrades for these schools.
Miscellaneous Changes
- Updated textures for Arcanium material and Molten Arcanium fluid
- Added ranged (bow) parts for Arcanium and Exilite
- Made Molten Arcanium and Molten Exilite burn the player in-world
- Removed Sculk Staff recipe
- Enabled Dual Interaction on Sculk and multipart Staffs, along with the Casting ability (Essentially, certain Tinker abilities (plus Casting from this addon) can now be switched to activate on melee instead of right click)
- Nerfed Arcane Cloth's trait (7.5->5% Spell Power)
- Fixed attributes on staffs being overridden by spellbooks and vice versa
- Fixed fluid effects making the Encyclopedia of Tinkering's Fluid Effects page inaccessible
- Various other (undocumented on my end) bug fixes
