How to Reduce Spell Media Costs Using an Allay

Casting complex or automated hexes can quickly drain your media reserves. By absorbing the mind of an allay, you can cut down the media cost of every spell you cast.

Capturing an Allay

1. Locate an allay in the world, such as inside a Pillager Outpost cage or a Woodland Mansion jail cell.

2. Hand the allay any item so it follows you, or attach a lead to guide it back to your base.

3. Bring the allay directly to your Hex Casting spell circle containing an Imbuement Bed.

Absorbing the Allay Mind

1. Position the allay so it can be targeted by your flaying ritual.

2. Lie down on the Imbuement Bed inside the active spell circle.

3. Activate the circle to flay the allay's mind into the bed while your character is resting on it.

Effects and Visual Changes

Once the ritual completes and the allay's mind is bound to your character, two effects take place:

• Lower Media Costs: Every spell you cast will require less media than usual, making both manual casting and automated trigger spells much cheaper to sustain.
• Altered Vision: Absorbing an allay mind temporarily changes how you see the world around you. Expect your screen and visual perception to look different until this visual effect wears off.
