SpellCraft - Magic World

⚡ Lightning Spells & Combat Overhaul New: Lightning-style spell beams — every spell cast now fires as a jagged, crackling bolt (real 3D geometry, additive glow, ~0.5s fading afterglow) instead of a straight particle trail. Wand-lock duels (Priori Incantatem) now clash with writhing lightning bolts on both sides and a colorful spark burst at the collision point.

Protego Maxima now actively pushes back everything caught in the dome (~5-6 blocks) and deflects incoming arrows/projectiles back at the shooter.

Combat fixes:

Troll attacks are now properly telegraphed — no more damage landing before the swing animation. Basilisk venom spit now respects armor (was bypassing it entirely). Stupefy applies a proper ~1s stun on hit. 🔥 Spell Behavior Changes Glacius now freezes the surface of water when aimed at it (previously froze underwater layers through the surface). Ventus extinguishes fire in a wide cone up to 15 blocks ahead. Confringo cooldown increased slightly (+0.3s). Accio range and pull strength significantly increased; description now correctly mentions it pulls creatures too. All spell damage increased by 15%; base mana regeneration increased by 5%. Creative-mode players no longer need reagents or mana to cast/learn spells. 🦉 Creatures Phoenix, Thunderbird, and Snowy Owl now spawn in all Overworld biomes (previously biome-restricted) with increased frequency — these are the birds needed for spell reagents. Mooncalf spawn frequency increased and no longer restricted to a single biome. Thunderbird flight speed increased. Newly spawned creatures near players no longer despawn when you walk away. 🎨 Visuals & UI Reworked Gloomwood's soil/grass textures to match vanilla's pixel style (previously a mismatched resolution). Spell Table screen: title text is now readable (was dark-on-dark), and long hint text no longer overflows the panel. Spell tooltips now show a short description of what each spell does. 📦 Loot & Progression Dark Spell Book drop chance from Death Eater camps increased.
