Magic and Mobs
The core of the server is the Alkatraz magic plugin by Nagasonic. Its wiki covers the basics. Many numbers here are changed, 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.

Every other mob casts nothing. Phantoms do not swarm you for skipping sleep here.
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.
| Night | Bar | The dragon casts |
|---|---|---|
| Fire | Red | Blink, Meteor Shower, Flaming Volley, Fire Blast |
| Water | Blue | Blink, Tsunami, Whirlpool, Geyser |
| Earth | Green | Blink, Fissure, Tremor, Earth Spike |
| Air | White | Blink, Tornado, Air Blades, Wind Vortex |
| Light | Yellow | Blink, Radiance, Light Buff, Buff |
| Dark | Purple | Blink, Shadow Realm, Dark Tendrils, Debuff |
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. Spawner, egg and command mobs never do.
- 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. Most of that rise lands in the last nights before full.
Every natural caster kill also has a 20% chance to drop a Magic Stone, plus 5% per Looting level. With Looting it can drop two. The moon does not change this.
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 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.
