How do I start using spells in ancient spellcraft?
Craft a spell book from the mod's crafting recipes, then use it to learn spells by finding spell pages or crafting them. Once you have spells in your book, equip it and use the radial GUI (default key) to select and cast spells.
What is mana and how do I get more?
Mana is the resource needed to cast spells. You increase your mana pool by crafting and using mana-related items from the mod, and you regenerate mana over time during gameplay.
How do I use the radial spell casting gui?
Press the designated keybind (configurable in controls) while holding a spell book to open the radial menu, then click on a spell to select it and cast it with your use item button.
What are rituals and how do I perform them?
Rituals are special magical ceremonies that require specific setup with blocks and items arranged in patterns. Consult the ritual guide in the mod's documentation for the exact configurations needed for each ritual.
Can I use ancient spellcraft with other magic mods?
Ancient Spellcraft is generally compatible with other mods, but some magic mods may have overlapping mechanics or balance issues—test them together in a world to see if they work well for your playstyle.
Why isnt my spell casting working?
Check that you have enough mana to cast the spell, that the spell book is equipped, and that you're using the correct keybind. Some spells also require specific conditions (like standing on certain blocks) to work.
Do wizards and dispensers cast spells?
Some spells can be cast by wizard NPCs and dispensers if their spell entries show 'Yes' in the Wizards and Dispensers columns—check the spell list on the wiki to see which ones are compatible.
What are the different spell tiers and elements?
Spells are organized by tier (indicating difficulty and power) and element (determining their magical type and effects). Higher tier spells cost more mana and may require better equipment to cast.
Is ancient spellcraft laggy or does it affect performance?
The mod is generally lightweight, but casting many spells at once or using rituals with many entities can impact performance—reduce particle effects or spell frequency if you experience lag.
Where do I find spell pages and spell books?
Spell books and pages can be crafted using recipes from the mod, found in loot chests, or obtained through other mod progression mechanics—check the crafting guide for exact recipes.
