Goety: Mastery of Magic Addon

Goety: Mastery of Magic is an addon for Goety that introduces new mechanics, progression options, and additional interactions based on alternative design directions and personal experimentation with the mod’s magic system.

The addon starts from a few areas where I wanted to explore different possibilities for gameplay variety, such as:

Providing more reasons to use unique or limited summons.

Creating additional pathways for players who want to specialize or diversify their spellcasting tools.

Offering ways to support broader or more eclectic playstyles.

Mastery System

The primary feature of the addon is the introduction of Masteries, one for each type of magic.

Each Mastery has three levels:

Each level grants +1 potency to all spells of that type.

Level 2 additionally grants the effects of the corresponding crown.

Level 3 additionally grants the effects of the corresponding robes.

The scrolls required to unlock these Masteries involve rituals that often require offering a powerful servant linked to the relevant magic type. This creates new uses and incentives for interacting with those entities.

Multi-Bag Focus Mechanics

The addon also alters how Focus Bags and Focus Packs can be used:

Binding a wand with a bag/pack links them together.

If the player carries multiple bags or packs, the wand will always access the one it is bound to.

This feature is compatible with Sophisticated Backpacks: bags stored inside backpack inventories can still be accessed if they are linked to the wand.

This system is intended to expand inventory flexibility and give players more customization in how they manage foci.

Future Additions

Further curios, items, and additional mechanics may be added over time.
