Getting Started with Modular Casting Gear

Crafting Your First Casting Tool

Construct's Casting Mod lets you build custom spellbooks, wands, and battlestaves using Tinkers' Construct's modular system. Start by creating a base tool—choose from the Wand, Battlestaff, Traveler's Spellbook, or Plated Spellbook.

Next, select your tool material. Each material offers different benefits: Arcanium expands mana pools, Exilite resists magic damage, Arcane Cloth boosts spell power, Mithril improves mana recovery, and Pyrium adds fire explosions on hit.

Finally, add modifiers to unlock abilities. The Casting modifier lets staffs release spells on right-click, while Spellblade triggers spells on melee strikes. Imbued attaches a specific spell to your tool, and Ringbearer grants extra ring slots. Elemental Magic Upgrades boost individual school damage.

Use your smeltery to melt magic items and mobs for new metals, inks, and runes—a cheaper way to craft consumable essences and casting components.
