Ars Magica 2 on 1.12.2

Unofficial 1.12.2 Port

A look into what Minecraft can become with a splash of magic.

This is an unofficial port of Mithion’s original Ars Magica 2, brought forward from Minecraft 1.7.10 to 1.12.2 by WinDanesz.
The goal of this project is to preserve the classic Ars Magica 2 experience while making it playable on newer legacy versions of Minecraft.

It also includes some reworked textures and visuals, bug fixes and I plan to add more spell shapes and content.

Ars Magica 2 on 1.12.2 comes with extensive support for Electroblob's Wizardry (including spell integrations, unified casting system and more).

These features are only enabled if you have both mods installed.

All core mechanics, progression, and gameplay concepts remain faithful to the original mod.

✨ What is Ars Magica 2?

Ars Magica 2 is a magic-focused mod centered around:

• Creating and customizing powerful spells
• Exploring magical structures and dimensions
• Fighting bosses and dangerous magical creatures
• Progressing through a deep magic system based on skill and experimentation

At the heart of the mod is a unique spell creation system, allowing you to design spells from scratch by combining spell parts, shapes, components, and modifiers.
