How to Use the Magic Device to Bypass Mob Armor

The Magic Device is a specialized weapon that summons flying spectral swords. Because these attacks deal direct magic damage and pierce straight through armor values, the weapon is ideal for fighting heavily armored mobs.

Main-Hand Combat Mechanics

When holding the Magic Device in your main hand, you have two ways to trigger spectral blades:

• Charged Ranged Attack: Hold right-click to charge the device, then release to fire two flying magic swords directly at your target.

Landing a fully cooled melee attack automatically summons an extra floating sword.

Off-Hand Support and Automation

You do not need to use the Magic Device as your primary weapon to benefit from its armor-piercing blades.

• Off-Hand Slot (Coop Playstyle): Equip the Magic Device in your off-hand slot while holding your preferred main weapon. Whenever you hit a mob with your main-hand weapon, the Magic Device will trigger bonus magic strikes from your off-hand.
• Applying the Auto Device Modifier: If you want the weapon to attack nearby threats automatically without manual input, place the Magic Device into your Tinkers' Construct modifier station alongside Redstone Repeaters and a Redstone Torch. This applies the Auto Device modifier, turning the weapon into an automated defense tool.
