-Magic-
this mod is going to have a magic system, you can craft a variety of spells, from fireballs to weapon enhancements, to doomsday spells
Different civilizations have different modes of magic
Dwarves and duergar use Alchemy, they use magical materials to enchant weapons and create new more complex materials
Elves and fey folk use druidic magic, they have nature based spells and use plant parts to cast them
Humans and Yokai use arcane magic, which requires a spellbook to use, with this magic they can cast fireballs and magic missiles and ice balls and such
Goblins and Forsaken use witchcraft, they must use blood to cast their spells, there spells usualy cause syndromes upon enemies.
-Current proggress-
Duergar and nymphs
