Each wand has a limited power supply called "mana". When holding your wand this takes the place of your XP '''bar'''.

The more advanced your wand, the more capacity for mana and the faster it will regenerate. Some magic items also affect mana regeneration, both positively and negatively.

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 it is possible to have multiple wands on different paths.

The Mage Path is the default magic experience. The wand you crafted when you first joined the server is automatically bound to this path. Ranks include:
Beginner > Student > Apprentice > Master > (coming soon) Engineer
===Quest Path===
Battle > Squire > Soldier > Knight

Magic is the primary feature of and available only on the BadWolfMC Gamma server. It is a unique gamemode in which nearly all of the commands you're used to are replaced by spells cast using a wand item bound to your inventory. Magic is best learned by discovering it for yourself, so this wiki will be purposefully limited in scope.

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.

As you accumulate spells, new pages will be added to your wand inventory. If you're missing a spell you may need to click on an empty inventory slot to cycle through the inventory pages. You can also use the hotbar to move spells between pages and organize them the way you'd like, and as you level up you will also gain additional hotbars.

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 Spell Points to add more spells to that wand.

Spell Points (SP)

Spell Points or "SP" are used to learn additional spells or to purchase some in-game items. 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.

SP is gained by successfully casting spells, with diminished accruals and a cooldown on subsequent casts of the same spell. SP is also dropped by some magic mobs and can be found in some loot chests in the world.

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, both positively and negatively.

Magic Items

Wands

In Magic it's all about the wands. Wands can be crafted, found, or purchased. The default wand in particular will be the most important item you possess in the game - it is bound to you, no other player can use it, 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 default wands can be crafted using a nether star and blaze rod.

Technically all of the magic items are considered wands in terms of how they're set up in the game, but may have different functions and different paths of progression depending on the type of wand. 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, and for the Mage Path include: Beginner > Student > Apprentice > Master > (coming soon) Engineer. Remember that paths are bound to the wand, so it is possible to have multiple wands on different paths, and your default wand's appearance will change as you progress.

Additional Wand Appearances

Additional wand appearances beyond the default mage path 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. You can change between the wand appearances you've unlocked on the enchanting table. These include:

Fantasy Wands
Claw Wand
Magicka Wand
Moon Wand
Orb Wand
Spire Wand
Whovian Wands
4th Sonic
10th Sonic
11th Sonic
12th Sonic
13th Sonic

Broom

Broomsticks are great for travel and exploration. While technically a wand, these only know one spell: flight! Brooms are slow and difficult to handle at first, but level up with use and soon become the preferred method of travel for many. This is the must-have item in Magic, after the wand of course.
