New Items:

Introducing: the Magic Skill!

You can now become a wizard and cast magical spells at things! When you log in, you will receive a free Wand if you have inventory space. If you don't make some space, then relog to receive your free wand. You can also craft a wand by looking at the recipe in /items → Bows, Crossbows, Wands tab at the bottom.

Enchantment Max Level Effect
Power 5 Increases spell damage by 15%, plus 15% for each level
Conservation^ 4 Reduces spell mana cost by 4% per level
Swift Cast^ 3 Reduces spell cooldown by 5% per level

^ Can be enchanted on a Book in an Enchantment Table, or found as an Enchanted Book from various loot sources


Available Elements:

Icon Element Effect
Air Fast firing spells that deal low damage
Water Low damage spells that splash in a large area
Earth Short-ranged spells that increase a target's damage taken
Fire Slow-firing, but strong spells that inflict burn
Electric High damage per second, but tend to have heavy mana costs
Ice Slows targets
Light Bonus damage to undead, mostly support spells
Dark Decreases the melee damage of targets

Each Element has its own elemental level, which influence the strength of spells, and must be unlocked. You initially start with one free elemental unlock. Without this unlock, you can still train Magic by casting Magic Missile, a weak spell that everyone has access to by default. Additional elements can be unlocked by finding Spell Books, which are commonly found in Stronghold Library, Woodland Mansion, and Jungle Temple loot chests. Spell Books will also occasionally show up in the Traveling Merchant.


Attunements

In addition to elements, you can also allocate Magic Skill Points to Attunements to specialize into certain elements. Attunements give special additional effects and augment the power of the specialized element.


Magic Catalysts

Like how Archery uses Arrows as ammo, you can optionally use Catalysts as Ammo for Magic. Using Catalysts will consume one for every eligible spell cast, and will boost the damage of that spell, depending on the tier of the catalyst.

Available catalysts are:

As usual, crafting recipes can be found in /items.

Ender Dragon (Solo)!

This is an instance of the Ender Dragon fight designed for one player. This means the dragon has less health, certain phases are shorter, and all mechanics are redesigned to be solvable with just one player. Completing it gives a greatly reduced loot pool, but does grant End access. Two players can enter the instance, but it will buff the dragon slightly and give a slightly further reduced loot pool.
