How to Start Aspect Magic Research with the Prism of Insight

Mproject's magic is gated behind research. You earn research points by studying the world, and those points unlock new entries and spells in the Thaumonomicon, an expanding research book.

Gathering Research Points

1. Get a Prism of Insight. This is the scanning tool for aspect research. If you have a recipe viewer installed, look up the Prism there.

2. Scan everything you can. The Prism works on items, blocks and mobs. Every new thing you study feeds research points into the Thaumonomicon tree.

3. Vary your targets. Exploring new biomes and structures gives you fresh blocks and creatures to scan. These include mage towers, forest ruins and walled cities.

4. Open the Thaumonomicon often. As points come in, the research tree expands and spells become available. Use the book to decide what to unlock next.

Powering Your Magic

• Find aura nodes. They generate naturally in the world and charge magic wands with vis.
• Choose a wand cap. Vis powers nine interchangeable wand caps, so you can swap caps to suit what you are doing.
• Watch your mana bar. The mod adds its own mana bar to your HUD, so check it before you rely on spells in a fight.
• Build the crafting stations. These are the alchemical crucible, the infusion altar and the arcane workbench. Together they let you transmute items into new magical devices. Your research book will point you toward what each one makes.
