====== Magic and Mobs ======
The core of the server is the Alkatraz magic plugin by Nagasonic. Its [[https://github.com/NagasonicDev/Alkatraz/wiki/|wiki]] is extensive and descriptive about it all. Many numbers here are changed though, so trust this page over theirs.



===== Elements =====
^ Element ^ Color ^ Focus ^ Opposite ^
| Fire | Orange | Damage over time, explosions | Water |
| Water | Blue | Knockback, area control | Fire |
| Earth | Brown | High damage, terrain | Air |
| Air | White | Mobility, crowd control | Earth |
| Light | Yellow | Healing, buffs, support | Dark |
| Dark | Dark Purple | Debuffs, stealth, summons | Light |
| None | Gray | Utility, raw magic | none |

**Affinity** raises the damage you deal with an element. **Resistance** lowers the damage you take from it. Each point is about 1%. A negative resistance means you take MORE damage from that element.

Mobs work the same way. A mob resists the element it casts and is weak to the opposite. Undead are weak to Light.

===== Who casts what =====

Every hostile mob below keeps its vanilla behavior and casts its spells on top. A mob casts at a player within 16 blocks that it can see, at most once every 6 seconds.

**Book chance per kill** is the chance that one kill drops //any// spellbook, from new moon to full moon.

**Resists** and **Weak to** are the mob's resistances. Hit it with what it is weak to.

==== The Ender Dragon ====

Each in-game night belongs to one element, and a dragon takes that night's element when it spawns. Its boss bar is renamed and coloured so you know which one you face before you commit.

==== How a drop is rolled ====

  - A kill picks **one** spell from the mob's list at random. A mob with three spells is a third as likely to give the one you want.
  - That spell's rate is multiplied by the mob's rarity and by the moon.
  - Only **natural** spawns drop books. Mob spawners don't work.
  - If a mob dies to something other than you, the last player to damage it in the past 20 seconds gets the kill.

^ Spell circle ^ Base rate ^
| 0 | 14% |
| 1 | 7% |
| 2 | 5% |
| 3 | 3% |
| 4 | 2% |
| 5 | 1.2% |

The moon multiplies every rate by 1.3 at new moon, rising to 2.5 at full moon. 


===== Spellbooks =====

A spellbook is bound to the player who earned it and cannot be traded. It becomes a **Faded Spellbook** the moment it leaves your inventory. Dropping it, putting it in any chest, or dying with it all count. Read it right away.

8 Faded Spellbooks + 1 Magic Stone crafts a random spellbook. Lower circles are far more likely.

Fishing is a second source of books. See [[fishing|Fishing and Money]].

===== Arcane Knowledge =====

Arcane Knowledge (AK) comes **only from killing natural caster mobs**. Casting spells gives none.

AK per kill = 30 x mob multiplier x moon x variety x your born magic

^ Part ^ Value ^
| Mob multiplier | 0.35 to 0.5 for farmable mobs (zombie, skeleton, spider, creeper, enderman, drowned, slime...). 1.5 for witch, blaze, guardian, piglin brute, wither skeleton. 2 to 2.5 for rare spawns. 3 for the phantom and bosses. 1 for anything else |
| Moon | 1.3 at new moon to 2.5 at full moon |
| Variety | +10% for each different mob type in your last 10 kills, up to 1.9x. Never below 1x |
| Born magic | +1% for every 1.6 raw magic affinity you were born with. 80 raw magic is +50% |

Research points: +1 per magic mob kill, +10 per spell you max out, +50 per circle.

===== Circles =====

Your Circle is your magic rank. It rises on its own once every requirement is met. Casting raises a spell's mastery. Mastery alone does not raise your circle.

^ Circle ^ Arcane Knowledge ^ Mastery ^ Research ^ Stat points ^ Max mana ^ Mana regen ^
| 1 | 300 | Magic Missile maxed | - | 5 | 200 | 2 |
| 2 | 1,040 | 1 Circle 1 spell maxed | - | 5 | 400 | 2.5 |
| 3 | 2,636 | 2 Circle 2 spells maxed | - | 7 | 800 | 3 |
| 4 | 6,570 | 3 Circle 3 spells maxed | Awakened Focus | 10 | 1,250 | 5 |
| 5 | 15,566 | 4 Circle 4 spells maxed | Ritual Geometry | 10 | 2,000 | 6.25 |
| 6 | 36,916 | 12 spells maxed | Spellcraft Field Notes | 15 | 2,750 | 7.5 |
| 7 | 86,360 | 16 spells maxed | Mana Conservation | 15 | 4,000 | 10 |
| 8 | 202,531 | 20 spells maxed | Disciplined Channel | 20 | 7,500 | 12.5 |
| 9 | 474,531 | All 30 spells maxed | All six elemental rites (below) | 25 | 10,000 | 15 |

==== Research ====

^ Research ^ Cost ^ Needs ^ Task ^ Reward ^
| Awakened Focus | 0 | - | Cast any spell | +5 AK, +10 max mana |
| Ritual Geometry | 25 | Awakened Focus | Enchant an item | +1 stat point |
| Spellcraft Field Notes | 25 | Awakened Focus | Cast 10 spells | +2 magic affinity |
| Mana Conservation | 25 | Awakened Focus | Cast 5 spells | +0.25 mana regen |
| Disciplined Channel | 75 | The three above | Reach XP level 10 | +1 heart, +2 magic resistance |

Each element has a three-step branch. The last step of all six is needed for Circle 9.

^ Element ^ Step 1 (20) ^ Step 2 (40) ^ Rite (100) ^
| Fire | Kindled Spark: cast 3 Fire spells. +3 affinity | Ember Control: 5 kills after casting Fire. +2 resistance | Inferno Rite: 3 Fire spell kills within 8 blocks. +2 affinity, +0.05 attack speed |
| Water | First Tide: cast 3 Water spells. +3 affinity | Restorative Current: catch 3 fish. +8 max mana | Depth Oath: 3 kills after casting Water. +3 resistance |
| Earth | Stone Memory: cast 3 Earth spells. +3 affinity | Quarry Signs: break 20 stone. +1 armor | Bulwark Vow: 3 kills after casting Earth. +3 resistance, +1 heart |
| Air | Open Breath: cast 3 Air spells. +3 affinity | Kinetic Step: 3 Air spell kills from 10+ blocks. +speed | Storm Eye: cast 8 Air spells. +3 resistance |
| Light | First Lantern: cast 3 Light spells. +3 affinity | Mending Script: eat a golden apple. +0.2 mana regen | Radiant Oath: cast 8 Light spells. +3 resistance, +1 luck |
| Dark | Quiet Shadow: cast 3 Dark spells. +3 affinity | Tethered Whisper: 5 kills after casting Dark. +0.5 attack damage | Eclipse Compact: cast 8 Dark spells. +3 resistance, +10 AK |

Each step 1 also gives +1 point in that element.

==== Stat points ====

Stat points spent in an element bend rather than cap:

^ Points in one element ^ Affinity per point ^
| 1 to 15 | 10 |
| 16 to 30 | 5 |
| 31 and up | 2 |

Resistance from stat points does not bend. There are 112 stat points on the way to Circle 9, plus 1 from Ritual Geometry. A Stat Reset Token from ''/shop'' refunds all of them.
