Set Up Your First Shared Mana Pool

Choose Your Mana Mode

Before casting spells from both mods, decide how you want mana to work. Open your mod settings and select a mana mode:

• Ars Primary: Ars Nouveau mana powers everything. Use this if you prefer Ars spell casting.
• ISS Primary: Iron's Spells mana becomes your main pool. Better if you favor the spellbook wheel.
• Hybrid: Both mods share one unified mana bar. Recommended for balanced play.
• Separate: Keep both pools independent but allow cross-mod spells to draw from either.

Build Your First Mana Source

Place a Source Jar near your base. This block provides passive mana regeneration to all nearby players without lag. Position multiple jars around your workspace for faster recovery during combat.

If you need emergency mana mid-fight, craft and perform a Mana Well ritual at your base. This creates a temporary mana recovery zone. For sustained in-combat regeneration, set up a Mana Infusion ritual near your battle arena.

Once your pool is active, both Ars spells and Iron's spellbook casts will draw from the same resource. Equip mana-boosting gear from either mod—bonuses now stack across both systems.
