Enchantment Changes

Fireball Enchantment

• Hunger drain increased 10x - Casting fireballs now consumes significantly more hunger, making it a more costly ability to use
  • Level 1: ~2.5 hunger per cast (was ~0.25)
  • Level 2: ~3.75 hunger per cast (was ~0.125)
• Added sword swing animation - Players now see their sword swing when casting fireballs, making the ability feel more responsive

Magic Missile Enchantment - Complete Rework

• Now uses actual Arrow projectiles instead of particle-only damage
  • Arrows deal damage naturally through Minecraft's mechanics
  • Arrows glow for visibility and cannot be picked up
  • Particle trail follows the arrow in flight (indigo dust + sparkles)
• Bow-like charge mechanics - Hold right-click to charge, release to fire
  • Minimum charge: 0.25 seconds to fire
  • Maximum charge: 1 second for full power
  • Damage scales with charge (50-100% of base damage)
• 40% faster than regular arrows - Magic missiles fly faster than bow arrows
• Charging particles - Spiral particles appear while charging
  • Color shifts from purple to bright magenta as charge increases
  • Particles spiral inward as charge builds
  • Sparkles appear when fully charged
• Damage formula: Base 3/4/5 damage (levels 1/2/3), scaled 50-100% by charge = 1.5-3 / 2-4 / 2.5-5 damage
• Cooldown: 1 second between casts
• Hunger cost: Scales with charge (4-6 exhaustion = ~1-1.5 hunger points)

Disabled Enchantments (Untested)

The following enchantments have been disabled by default pending testing:

• Telekinesis - Keep items from mobs you kill
• Replanting - Auto-replant harvested crops
• Executioner - Bonus damage to low-health targets
• Smelting - Auto-smelt mined ores
• Airbag - Fall damage reduction for Elytra users
• Cloaking - Invisibility while sneaking

These can be re-enabled in plugins/Spellbook/config.yml by setting enchants.<enchantname>.enabled: true
