A spellcasting mod built around a Magic Lens: learn spells, explore an old library's dungeon, kill a sleeping god for its power, and earn the favor (or attention) of something that's begun to watch you.

Spoiler

This mod adds: Core spellcasting

  • Magic Lens โ€” the central item; equip up to 5 spells at once, cast/cycle with keybinds

  • Mana system with a capacity that grows through merging lenses (up to 5x merge tier)

  • 16 unique spells across offense, utility, and support: Fireball, Frost Bolt, Lightning Strike, Chain Lightning, Meteor Shower, Poison Bolt, Life Drain, Shockwave, Arrow Volley, Heal, Blink, Arcane Shield, Haste Surge, Gravity Pull, Summon Ally, Invisibility

  • Ancient Spell Books (dungeon loot) to learn new spells

  • Diamond Engraver + Inscription Workbench for duplicating/customizing a lens's spell loadout

  • Lens Combiner to merge two lenses into one, raising max mana and slot count

  • Mana infrastructure

  • Soul Pedestal โ€” burns soul sand + items to generate mana

  • Lens Pedestal โ€” charges a placed lens automatically, links to nearby Soul Pedestals

  • Soul Feeder โ€” auto-feeds items into a linked Soul Pedestal, no manual restocking

Exploration

  • A library with an entrance to a multi-room dungeon with tunnels, treasure rooms, and dangers

  • A Faith Shrine structure, separate from the main dungeon

  • A sunken boss chamber holding The One Who Sleeps

  • The boss fight

  • The One Who Sleeps โ€” a boss with its own arena

  • Sleeping God armor set (fire-immune) that grants temporary flight, scaled by accumulated Faith

  • The Faith economy

  • Faith Altars โ€” burn items in soul fire for Faith, with diminishing returns to discourage bulk-farming one item

  • Weird Amulet โ€” private Faith readout on right-click

The Hunger (post-boss meta-progression)

  • A watching presence that starts after defeating the boss, scaling with Faith and repeat kills
  • Random blessing/burden moments with visible apparitions and status effects
  • A semi-permanent one-way "eyes revealed" milestone that changes the sun and moon's appearance (per-player, not server-wide)
  • Sun and Moon Ward โ€” reversible toggle to hide the changed sky
  • Tokens of the Hunger, spent on a choice between The Hunger's Boon (extends blessing duration) or The Hunger's Bindings (burn to shift blessing/burden odds, with bonus effects at high levels)
  • The Hunger Tower โ€” a landmark that rises once the eyes are revealed, with a permanent idol on top offering cryptic teaser dialogue

Guide book

  • A full in-game Arcane Guide (Patchouli-based) covering every system above

Advancements

  • A progression tree from crafting your first lens through defeating the boss and mastering all 16 spells
