At a glance

• 🔮 41 new spells for Iron's spell books, scroll forge and loot
• 🕯️ 6 altar rituals that leave something behind in the world
• 📜 The Wanderer's Codex — a book you rebuild page by page, and a thief who steals it back
• 🩸 The Coven of the Open Vein — a blood cult lair with a winged demon boss

🔮 Spells

41 new spells that slot straight into Iron's spell books, scroll forge and loot — nothing to configure. Plus a Dominion and Emperor for every school: shut off a whole school of magic in a field around you, or bend the rules and keep casting it yourself.

🕯️ Altar rituals

Six rituals worked on Iron's altar, each one leaving something behind instead of firing once:

• Rift — tear open a one-way door to another dimension.
• Force Dome — raise a barrier that soaks up damage.
• Sun Sentinel — call down a small sun that fires on hostiles.
• Hallowed Ground — consecrate a floor that strikes whatever stands on it.
• Tomb — build a vault that catches your items when you die.
• Wellspring — grow a spring that speeds up your mana regen.

📜 The Wanderer's Codex

An in-game spellbook you rebuild one page at a time, found where its subject lives — pyromancer towers, the catacombs, the Citadel. Keep an eye on your Scroll Shelf: the Redactor steals from it at night, and if it gets away with enough pages, the Concordance comes to collect the rest in person.

🩸 The Coven of the Open Vein

A blood cult's hideout: a war camp up top, three bloody floors underneath, and the Tithe waiting at the bottom — a winged demon boss with its own music. Beat it for the Tithe's Heart and the Crown of Thorns and Veins.
