## IMPORTANT This update makes major internal changes to many items, so **please make sure to back up your world before updating.** ## Hotfix - Fixed a crash that could occur when another mod added a third hand. ## New Content ### Spells - Added **"Thermal Slice"**: Slice through things like melting butter with heat. - Added **"Lightning Arrow"**: Where it hits does not matter. Hitting the target does. - Added **"Bloody Arrow"**: Defeated enemies drop an item that restores health. Common sense, right? - Added **"Sacred Arrow"**: Arrows that never miss are practically a staple of mythology. - Added **"Lunar Aim"**: A magical arrow imbued with the cold power of the moon. - Added **"Echo Arrow"**: Not a Vortex Fragment. - Added **"Lock-on Ray"**: Not very Minecraft-like at all, but I wanted to make it. - Added **"Quick Blink"**: Your standard emergency dodge. ### Items - Added **"Spell-Reaper's Scythe"**: It looks like it was made to reap magic, doesn't it? - Added **"Full-auto Rapidcast Spellrifle"**: A rebalanced version of the Multi-purpose Staffrifle with only its rapid-fire functionality retained. - Added **"Charm of Monarch Bond"**: Treat your minions with care instead of throwing them away. - Added **"Emblem of Undying"**: A Totem of Undying you don't have to throw away after one use. - Added **"Mana Maneuver Gear"**: Not flashy, but it should be useful. - Added **"Quickcast Scroll Cartridge"**: Depending on your keybind setup, this can fill the role of actions like dodging by triggering spells instead. - Added **"Mantle of Shooting Star"**: Honestly, this is getting pretty close to a mecha action game. - Added **"???????? Transducer"** (**Malum only, hidden by default**): For people who understand what “connect the staff” means. ## Changes / Tweaks In preparation for the 1.0 release, older content continues to receive extensive reviews and major balance adjustments. ### Spell Balance Adjustments - **Thermal Process** - The damage portion is no longer blocked by Fire Resistance. - The debuff portion is still blocked by Fire Resistance. - **Combustion Jet** - The damage portion is no longer blocked by Fire Resistance. - Targets are now set on fire before damage is dealt. - **Harvest Moon** - While **Craftsman's Delight** is equipped, it can now shear sheep within its area of effect. ### Item Balance Adjustments - Reworked the **Transcendence** enchantment. - Maximum level is now 1, and the level increase is fixed at +1. - The range of items that can accept it has been significantly restricted and changed. - Items that can no longer receive Transcendence after this rework will no longer benefit from it even if they already have the enchantment. - Please check JEI for the current list of compatible items. - Some items that previously could not exceed their spell level cap, such as **Elemental Bow**, can now do so. - Transcendence is no longer mutually exclusive with **Surge** or **Attunement**. - Reworked **Elemental Bow**. - It can no longer use spells in its default state. - Added 3 adjustment slots and 1 scroll slot. - The scroll slot accepts the same types of spells as before, and the inserted spell is applied together with its level. - As a result, enchantment-based spell level bonuses have been removed except for **Transcendence**. - The overheat system is now shared across Schools instead of being tracked separately. - Inserting a **Recovery Rune** into an adjustment slot restores the previous per-slot behavior. - Inserting a School rune allows its spell power modifier to be changed in exchange for a mana cost penalty. - Existing datapacks remain partially compatible, but some functionality has been removed, so reviewing them is recommended. - Added 6 additional default supported spells, including existing spells. - Drawing **Elemental Bow** in spell mode is no longer cancelled by taking damage. - **Ring of Spell Cast Parrying** no longer activates while using Elemental Bow in spell mode. - Reworked **Multi-purpose Staffrifle**. - Changed its appearance. - Removed rapid-fire functionality while aiming down sights. - Added recoil. - Movement speed is now reduced while aiming down sights. - Changed to use adjustment slots and a scroll slot. - It now casts its imbued spell instead of the spell selected on the spell wheel. - Casting the spell selected on the spell wheel can be restored using an adjustment-slot item. - Spells with cast times cannot be used by default. - Adjusted cartridge return rates for ammunition used by **Spellguns** and similar items. - 20% normally, regardless of item. - 90% while **Spellcaster's Ammo Pouch** is equipped. - The cooldown of **Diamond Grandcast Spellgun** and equivalent Spellguns is now extended by the spell's cast time. - **Twin Bladed Channeling Staff** - Its **Channeling** enchantment no longer summons lightning during thunderstorms. - When Channeling triggers a spell with a cast time, the cooldown is now extended by that cast time. - Its **Riptide** enchantment can now continue activating after the initial trigger. - Added another way to obtain **Silver Ring**. - This method exists in both 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, but is easier to use in 1.21.1 because it relies on Trial Chamber mechanics. - Significantly expanded the spells supported by **Protection Spell Supporter**. - Adjusted accessory drop rates from chests and changed the item pool. - They may feel slightly rarer overall, but accessories added in later updates can now also appear. - Accessories no longer appear from Ominous Vaults. - This is mainly to follow dungeon reward changes made in Iron's Spells 'n Spellbooks. - **Ring of Spell Cast Parrying** now interacts with certain Malum mechanics. - When the relevant conditions are met, the corresponding interaction is shown in the tooltip. - The functionality itself can still be used even if those conditions are not met. ### Other - Significantly changed the internal implementation of items that can hold multiple scrolls through the **Spell Calibration Bench**. - These items now manage spells in a way that differs from the standard Iron's Spells 'n Spellbooks implementation. - Their priority when being added to the spell wheel has changed, so checking spell order after updating is recommended. - Even if an equipped item and another source provide the same spell, both are now added separately to the spell wheel, although they still share cooldowns. - Items using this new system are eligible for the **Transcendence** enchantment. - Changed the recast cast time of **Commence Fire** while **Magi-Agent's Shoes** are equipped from 0 seconds to 0.05 seconds. - Added JEI display support for **Arcanum In a Jar** processing recipes. - **Scrollcaster Gauntlet** now casts the spell currently selected on the spell wheel, similar to a staff. - To use the spell selected directly on the gauntlet as before, it must now be configured through the **Spellcaster's Workbench**. - **Storage Stabilizer** can now open the Ender Chest when right-clicked in the inventory. - This consumes mana similarly to **Summon Ender Chest**. - **Mirage Avoidance** now activates backward when cast without directional input. - Adjusted **Iron's Gems 'n Jewelry** accessory effects that use the newly added intermediate materials. (**1.21.1 only**) ## Bug Fixes - Fixed **Scrollcaster Gauntlet** accepting the **Efficiency** enchantment. - Efficiency never functioned on the item, so this does not reduce its performance. - Fixed weapon-summoning spells with cast times, such as **Slash Blade**, not functioning correctly when duplicated through **Echo Cast**. - Fixed **Catalystbook of Chargecast** not working with **Ring of Spell Cast Parrying**. - Fixed damage that exceeded a **Talisman of Mana Shield** enchanted with **Shell** ignoring effects that intervene in damage, such as Malum's **Soul Ward**, and also causing abnormal death behavior when that damage was lethal. - Fixed **Focus Staffbow** not displaying its trajectory preview when casting **Artisan Smash**. - Fixed **Twin Bladed Channeling Staff** moving to a mob's feet when it hit the target. - Fixed the final stair block sometimes having the wrong shape when extending stairs with **Linear Build**. - Fixed **Mirage Avoidance** sometimes failing to begin movement in the correct direction. - Fixed items with the **Plunder** enchantment sometimes granting the main-hand item the **Looting** enchantment. (**1.21.1 only**) - Fixed **Lure** not functioning and **Good Tides** not being applied correctly when Malum was installed. (**1.21.1 only, Malum 1.8.2 only**) - This is not an Apprentice's Codex bug, but Apprentice's Codex relies heavily on Iron's **Rune of Protection**, and obtaining Pufferfish through fishing had become difficult enough to justify a compatibility workaround. - This fix only applies to **Malum 1.8.2** and will stop applying if Malum is updated.
