Mahou Tsukai: Unique Spells and Mana Guide
Mahou Tsukai: Unique Spells and Mana centers on a magic system where every spell is meant to stand on its own rather than slot into a tier list. The mod deliberately avoids competing with vanilla tools or other mods, so you will not find a spell that simply duplicates an existing item's job. There is no progression ladder to climb through — aside from mana itself, spells are not ranked, and each one is designed to have a real reason to be used in some situation. Even the most basic spells stay relevant, because nothing gets "outgrown."
Getting Started With the Compendium
Your first practical step is the 
Mahou Tsukai Knowledge Compendium, which is shaped from 
Red Dye x5, 
Paper x3, and 
Leather. This book is your reference for the mod's spells and systems, so make it early and keep it on hand.
Mana and Its Circuits
Mana is the one resource that does gate how much you can cast. Two items relate directly to it. The Mana Circuit is shaped from 
Fae Essence x8 and 
Powdered Emerald. The 
Magitech Mana Circuit is shaped from 
Iron Ingot x6 and Powdered Emerald x3. Mana costs and mana regeneration are both configurable, so if casting feels too slow or too cheap, that is adjustable.
Spell Cloth and Mystic Codes
Spellcasting gear starts with cloth. 
Spell Cloth is made shapelessly from 
White Wool and a 
Dagger. From there you can shape a 
Mystic Code using Spell Cloth x6 and 
Powdered Gold x3. A stronger variant, the 
Mystic Code - First Sorcery, is shaped from Spell Cloth x6, Fae Essence x2, and 
Powdered Diamond.
Attunement
Some materials must be attuned before use. An 
Attuner is shaped from 
Lapis Lazuli x4 and 
Gold Ingot x4. Combining the Attuner with a 
Diamond gives an 
Attuned Diamond, and combining it with an 
Emerald gives an 
Attuned Emerald. Both conversions are shapeless.
Powdered Materials
Several recipes call for powdered forms of ordinary materials, and you have two ways to make them. The 
Hammer is shaped from 
String, 
Cobblestone x2, and 
Stick x2. The 
Mortar is shaped from 
Brick x2 and a Diamond, while the 
Pestle is shaped from Stick x2 and Diamond x3. Combine the two into a 
Mortar and Pestle shapelessly.
With either tool you can grind materials down. Using a Hammer or a Mortar and Pestle on a Diamond yields Powdered Diamond; on an Emerald yields Powdered Emerald; on an 
Ender Pearl yields 
Powdered Ender; on an 
Eye of Ender yields 
Powdered Eye; on a Gold Ingot yields Powdered Gold; on an Iron Ingot yields 
Powdered Iron; and on 
Nether Quartz yields 
Powdered Quartz. The Mortar and Pestle produces two of a powder where the Hammer produces one.
Projectors and Other Tools
Two devices project spell effects into the world. The Fog Projector is shaped from Powdered Eye x6, 
Redstone Dust x2, and Spell Cloth. The Mahoujin Projector is shaped from Powdered Gold x6, Redstone Dust x2, and Spell Cloth.
A few other items round out the toolkit. The Dagger is shaped from Gold Ingot x2, Stick, 
Purple Dye x2, and Iron Ingot x2. The 
Faecake is a shapeless recipe of 
Sugar, 
Wheat, Fae Essence, and 
Egg. The 
Kodoku is a shapeless mix of 
Dirt, 
Carrot, 
Potato, 
Poisonous Potato, 
Rotten Flesh, and 
Nether Wart.
The Reality Marble
The mod includes a custom dimension called the Reality Marble. Its climate is hot, with a temperature of 2, and no rain falls there. Nothing in the mod is gated behind world generation, so you can add Mahou Tsukai to an existing world without hunting for new terrain — the Reality Marble is simply somewhere you can travel to.
Configuring Your Experience
Nearly everything here is tunable: mana costs, mana regeneration, sound effect volume, rendering, spell sizes and effects, and how often certain spells tick. A single spell often has several config options attached to it. If something is lagging, taking too long, or behaving in a way you dislike, you can usually dial it down through the config rather than avoiding the spell entirely.
