Tainted Magic Mod — Reference
Armor and Baubles
Tainted Magic provides some of the most protective armor sets in the Thaumcraft ecosystem.
Shadowmetal Fortress Armor
An upgrade to the Thaumium and Void Fortress sets. It provides superior protection and a 7% Vis discount per piece. * Shadow Fortress Helm: Grants 5 Temporary Warp and is compatible with all standard Fortress faceplates (Revealing, Sipping Fiend, etc.). * Night Bonus: The armor's damage reduction increases significantly during the night.
Boots of the Voidwalker
An advanced version of the Boots of the Traveler. * Properties: Grants immunity to fall damage, a massive speed boost to walking and flying, and a 5% Vis discount. * Visuals: Emits a dark, foggy particle effect while moving (can be toggled in the config).
Voidwalker's Sash of Runic Shielding
A belt-slot Bauble that provides +20 Runic Shielding. When paired with the Boots of the Voidwalker, it further increases movement speed to near-limit levels.
Flyte Charm
A powerful Bauble that grants creative-style flight. * Cost: Consumes 0.1 Aer Vis per tick from the player's wand. * Mechanics: Pressing the sprint key mid-air provides a speed burst, while the sneak key allows for a slow glide.
Tools and Weapons
Thaumic Disassembler
A versatile multitool inspired by Mekanism's Atomic Disassembler. It functions as a pickaxe, shovel, axe, and hoe. * Modes: Off, Slow, Normal, and Fast (mines most blocks instantly). * Repair: Does not use durability in the traditional sense; instead, it consumes Perditio Vis from the player's wand to function and self-repair.
Edge of the Primordials
A hazardously sharp blade dealing 18.5 attack damage. * Abilities: Inflicts Wither II and Weakness II on hit. Blocking creates a 'vortex' (similar to a Hungry Node) that pulls nearby mobs (15-block radius) toward the player and damages them.
Fortress Blades (Katanas and Scythes)
The mod adds Shadowmetal, Voidmetal, and Thaumium variants of Katanas. These weapons can be 'charged' by holding right-click to release a powerful strike dealing up to 30 hearts of damage.
| Inscription | Effect |
|---|---|
| Tainted | Deals Divine damage (ignores armor), inflicts Taint Poison, and releases Flux Gas on charged hits. |
| Raging Demon | Replaces the Volcanic inscription; emits a single explosive fireball on strike. |
| Vengeful Spirit | Casts a mini-shockwave effect on hit. |
| Benevolent Goddess | Heals the user while inflicting Wither on nearby enemies. |
Botany and Biomes
Warpwood Trees
Warpwood trees are the primary source of Warpwood Logs and Saplings. * Growth: They cannot be crafted directly via infusion in later versions. Instead, the player must use Warping Fertilizer on a Silverwood Sapling. * Void Seeds: Warpwood trees occasionally generate 'knots' in their logs which, when broken, drop 1-5 Void Seeds.
Warpwater
Created by tossing Warped Bath Salts into water. Standing in Warpwater multiplies the player's current Warp level by 1.5 temporarily, which is useful for boosting the recharge rate of Warpwood wands.
