How to Unlock and Cast Dragon Magic Using Dragon Hearts

Draconic Spells Mod expands the casting system from Iron’s Spells and Spellbooks with two elemental schools themed around the Ice and Fire mod. Before you can cast fire or ice dragon abilities, you need to gather the core materials tied to dragons in your world.

Gathering Dragon Hearts

All magical progression in this addon centers on dragon hearts. Instead of relying solely on standard loot, you must obtain dragon hearts to unlock the mod's special magical abilities.

1. Track down and defeat dragons in your world to collect their dragon hearts.

2. Check your in-game recipe viewer on a dragon heart to see which crafting or spell-unlocking stations from Iron’s Spells and Spellbooks accept it.

3. Match the heart type to the school of magic you want to pursue—either Fire Dragon magic or Ice Dragon magic.

Preparing Your Spellbook

Once you unlock your chosen abilities with dragon hearts, manage them just like any other spell from Iron’s Spells and Spellbooks.

1. Slot your newly unlocked fire or ice dragon spells into an eligible spellbook.

2. Select the active spell using your standard spell selection controls.

3. Trigger your cast keybind during combat or exploration to unleash elemental attacks or apply defensive buffs.

Keep both offensive charges and defensive survival spells in the same spellbook so you can swap between elemental damage and hazard protection without opening your inventory.
