Description

A spellcasting mod built around a Magic Lens: learn spells, explore an old library's dungeon, kill a sleeping god for its power, and earn the favor (or attention) of something that's begun to watch you.

This mod adds: Core spellcasting

Magic Lens — the central item; equip up to 5 spells at once, cast/cycle with keybinds
Mana system with a capacity that grows through merging lenses (up to 5x merge tier)
17 unique spells across offense, utility, and support: Fireball, Frost Bolt, Lightning Strike, Chain Lightning, Meteor Shower, Poison Bolt, Life Drain, Shockwave, Arrow Volley, Heal, Blink, Arcane Shield, Haste Surge, Gravity Pull, Summon Ally, Invisibility, Pocket Dimension
Ancient Spell Books (dungeon loot) to learn new spells
Diamond Engraver + Inscription Workbench for duplicating/customizing a lens's spell loadout
Lens Combiner to merge two lenses into one, raising max mana and slot count

Mana infrastructure

Soul Pedestal — burns soul sand + items to generate mana
Lens Pedestal — charges a placed lens automatically, links to nearby Soul Pedestals
Soul Feeder — auto-feeds items into a linked Soul Pedestal, no manual restocking

Exploration

A library with an entrance to a multi-room dungeon with tunnels, treasure rooms, and dangers
A Faith Shrine structure, separate from the main dungeon
A sunken boss chamber holding The One Who Sleeps

The boss fight

The One Who Sleeps — a boss with its own arena
Sleeping God armor set (fire-immune) that grants temporary flight, scaled by accumulated Faith

The Faith economy

Faith Altars — burn items in soul fire for Faith, with diminishing returns to discourage bulk-farming one item
Weird Amulet — private Faith readout on right-click

The Hunger (post-boss meta-progression)

A watching presence that starts after defeating the boss, scaling with Faith and repeat kills
Random blessing/burden moments with visible apparitions and status effects
A semi-permanent one-way "eyes revealed" milestone that changes the sun and moon's appearance (per-player, not server-wide)
Sun and Moon Ward — reversible toggle to hide the changed sky
Tokens of the Hunger, spent on a choice between The Hunger's Boon (extends blessing duration) or The Hunger's Bindings (burn to shift blessing/burden odds, with bonus effects at high levels)
The Hunger Tower — a landmark that rises once the eyes are revealed, with a permanent idol on top offering cryptic teaser dialogue

Skill Tree & Arcane Ink

The Hunger Idol atop the Hunger Tower trades Tokens of the Hunger, then Arcane Ink, for The Hunger's Pact — a reusable key that opens the Skill Tree screen
Arcane Ink — a new rare currency (dungeon loot, or an expensive Nether Star recipe as a backup) spent on every node in the tree
Mana Boost — raises max mana on every Magic Lens you own, the tree's root node
Cost Reduction / Cooldown Reduction — cut spell mana costs and cooldowns by up to 25% each at max level
Pocket Dimension / Pocket Dimension Expansion — unlocks the Pocket Dimension spell, then grows your personal room from 9x9 up to 15x15
Storage System / Storage Network Expansion — unlocks crafting Living Chests and Living Terminals, then raises the per-network storage cap above the base 15
Arcane Assembler / Assembler Speed / Assembler Fuel Efficiency — unlocks crafting the Arcane Assembler, then speeds up its crafting and stretches its fuel further
Overload Ritual / Warped Attunement — unlocks the ritual that tears a portal to the Warped Hollow open, then (after Broken Vessel's first defeat) lowers how full a storage network needs to be to open further portals

Pocket Dimension

A skill-tree-only 17th spell (never found in Ancient Spell Books) that teleports you into your own personal room in a private dimension
Casting it again while inside teleports you back to exactly where, and which way, you left from
Each player gets an isolated room in the shared Pocket Dimension level, upgradeable via the Skill Tree from 9x9 up to 15x15

Networked Storage

Living Chest — a 5-slot storage cube that auto-merges into one shared pool with any other Living Chest it's placed touching
Storage Connector — bridges two separate Living Chest clusters into a single network without adding storage of its own
Living Terminal — browses an entire connected cluster as one scrollable grid, with a search box and a sort button (Default / Name / Count)
Compactor Upgrade / Slot Upgrade — Terminal upgrade-slot items that raise per-item stack size or add bonus pool slots
Requires the Storage System skill unlock to craft Living Chests and Living Terminals

Arcane Assembler

Auto-crafts real crafting-table recipes from its own 3x3 grid — anything craftable by hand works, not a fixed list
Powered by crop and meat "fuel" instead of redstone, so it only burns food while a valid recipe is actually sitting in the grid
Sticky recipe memory: right-click a grid slot with an item to set what belongs there, or with an empty hand to clear it
Auto-refills its grid from its own internal buffer first, then from an adjacent Living Chest cluster if it's built touching one
Requires its own Skill Tree unlock to craft

The Overload Ritual & the Warped Hollow

Push a Living Chest network to its full storage capacity, then use an Overload Core + Warped Catalyst to overload it — tearing open a portal to a new dimension, the Warped Hollow
The Warped Hollow is a real, explorable dimension, not a private room — open as many portals as you like, each landing in its own private area of the same shared space
Ruined chambers are scattered throughout the Warped Hollow, each a small hand-built site worth the walk to find
Portals are two-way and permanent, so getting back is as easy as walking through again
Requires its own Skill Tree unlock (Overload Ritual)

Broken Vessel

A second full boss fight, waiting inside a tower deep in the Warped Hollow
Four HP-driven phases as the warped fungus consuming it takes over
Completing the Overload Ritual for the first time hands you a compass pointing straight to its lair
Re-fightable as many times as you want via the Vessel Summoning Charm, once you've found the lair yourself

The Pantheon Revealed

After defeating the Sleeping God and earning the Hunger's attention, the Hunger Idol will eventually point you toward a hidden shrine buried in the Warped Hollow — find it for a real Faith reward and the fullest picture yet of what you've actually been dealing with
New lore ties the Sleeping God, the Hunger, and Broken Vessel together through a shared, unnamed infection: the Warping
Two new advancements track this discovery, following on from defeating the Sleeping God

Vessel-Bound rewards

Smith your Sleeping God armor into Vessel-Bound Sleeping God using Broken Vessel drops — same stats, but its flight passive no longer has a hard cooldown (the budget recovers passively while grounded instead) and the full set grants Poison/Wither immunity
Warped Anchor — bind it to a placed Living Terminal, then open that Terminal's storage from anywhere; gated behind the Warped Attunement skill
Vessel Summoning Charm — re-summon Broken Vessel inside its own lair whenever you're ready for another fight

Accessories

Charm slot (via Curios): Magnet Charm, Faith Charm, Mana Orb Charm, Burning Charcoal Charm, Antivenom Charm, Preserved Wither Rose Charm
Bracelet slot (via Curios): Iron/Gold/Netherite Bracelets, each granting bonus Charm slots while worn

Guide book

A full in-game Arcane Guide (Patchouli-based) covering every system above, including dedicated chapters for Networked Storage, the Arcane Assembler, and the Overload Ritual/Warped Hollow/Broken Vessel
Always obtainable via crafting, the creative inventory, or /give — not locked to any single method

Advancements

A progression tree from crafting your first lens through defeating both bosses and mastering all 16 spells, extending on through the Skill Tree, Pocket Dimension, Networked Storage, Arcane Assembler, and accessories
