## Important!
From this version onward, Apprentice's Codex requires Iron's Spells 'n Spellbooks **3.15.4 or later**.
Because of a specific fix this update depends on, I will not backport compatibility to older ISS versions.
## New Content
### Spells
- Added **"Mana Slash"** (Item only): A mid-range attack for weapons imbued with this spell.
- Added **"Long Stride"**: For players who want to explore without relying on horses. (Because horses can't be Recalled.)
### Items
- Added **"Crystal Bladed Staff"**: A melee weapon designed to be used alongside a shield.
- Added the **"Enchantress Robe"** set: For old-school Minecraft players. (No Apotheosis support.)
- Added **"Spell-Stained Runic Tablet"**: A spellbook that becomes stronger over time.
- Added **"Reflectcast Shield"**: Defense is the best offense.
- Added **"Explorer's Cane"**: Basically an offhand version of the Sojourner's Sash.
- Added **"Spellcaster's Flask"**: A stackable potion flask.
- Added **"Atelier Station"**: A support device for potion refilling.
- Added **"Arcane Cinder"**: A fuel item with extra utility for vanilla devices.
- Added the **"Stealth Runic"** series: For players who like vanilla Invisibility potions.
## Potion Effects
- Added the **"Intelligence"** effect: The magic equivalent of Strength.
- Added school-related **"Affinity"** effects: School-specific Strength-like potion effects. (Supports up to 8 additional schools.)
## Tweaks / Changes
- Rebalanced spell power across the board. Utility spells were reduced significantly in particular.
- Reworked crafting recipes across the mod. Accessories in particular have been made more expensive and more endgame-oriented.
- Renamed the **"Spellcaster Gun"** series to **"Spellgun"**, and updated their names to better reflect the spells each one can accept.
- Changed which spells can be imbued into the diamond Spellgun.
- Added a temporary workaround for the Iron's Spells 'n Spellbooks guidebook issue so it can be read again. (**1.20.1 only**, and only when Patchouli is installed.)
- Changed **"Arcanum in a Jar"** so that when broken into item form, it drops its contents and does not retain stored data.
- Updated **"Tiny Lumberjack"** so it now also breaks leaves on Nether trees.
## Bug Fixes
- Fixed a bug where **"Auto Magnet"** could duplicate when entering a world.
- Fixed client-side targeting behavior for block-targeting spells to feel more intuitive.
- Fixed JEI so the **"Spellgun"** series now shows valid imbueable spells correctly.
