Magic

Magic is the primary feature of and available only on the BadWolfMC Gamma server. It is a unique gamemode in which most commands are replaced by spells cast using a wand item bound to your inventory.

Spells

Spells are learned and perfected as you progress through the game, and are bound to your wand. While holding a wand, left-click to cast the active spell. Wands that have more than one spell will have a "wand inventory" that you can use to quick-change spells and manage any number of spells in a single wand.

Spell Points (SP)

Successfully casting spells can grant you Spell Points or "SP" that can be used to learn additional spells. You can see the number of SP a certain wand has by holding that wand in your main hand - the SP will display where you would normally see your XP levels. Switching to a non-magic item or emptying your hand will then display your regular XP levels once again.

Additional spells are learned through regular enchanting tables. Simply right click the enchanting table with your wand to bring up the magic shop, where you can spend your SP to add more spells to that wand.

Mana

Each wand has a limited power supply called "mana". When holding your wand this takes the place of your XP bar. Casting a spell will decrease the amount of mana you have (note that this is separate from your spell point level), and spamming spells will result in complete depletion and inability to cast additional spells until your mana regenerates naturally. The more advanced your wand, the more capacity for mana and the faster it will regenerate. Some magic items also affect mana regeneration.

Paths

A "Path" in Magic is a collection of ranks. A wand may be at a certain rank on that path, and will progress along the path from rank to rank. Discovering the spells along the path is part of the fun, so only the ranks are listed here. Remember that paths are bound to the wand, so you can have multiple wands on different paths.

Mage Path:

The Mage Path is the default magic experience. The wand created when you first join the server is automatically bound to this path. Ranks include:

Beginner > Student > Apprentice > Master > Engineer

Quest Path

Battle > Squire > Soldier > Knight

Magic Items

Wands

In Magic it's all about the wands. Wands can be crafted, found, or purchased, and are bound to the player. No other player can use your wand and your wand stays with you if you die. You cannot drop it, but you can move it in your inventory, to a chest, or destroy it by moving it into the chest associated with the disposal spell (or sign). In other words, you would need to try to lose your wand. It may not be possible to retrieve lost wands, so guard it carefully. New wands can be crafted using a nether star and blaze rod.

Your wand's appearance will change as you progress, and you can hold multiple wands at different levels and on different paths.

Additional Wand Appearances

Additional wand appearances can be purchased from the BadWolfMC Store. These are entirely cosmetic and do not affect the wand or spells cast from it, but they look cool and all proceeds support the server. Your wand appearance can be changed at will on an enchanting table and can include:
