# Ars ‘n Spells<\/p>\n
**Ars ‘n Spells** bridges Ars Nouveau and Iron’s Spells ‘n Spellbooks into one seamless magic experience. Unify your mana, share progression between spell systems, and scale your power across both mods \u2014 all fully configurable.<\/p>\n
Works with **Minecraft 1.20.1** on **Forge**.<\/p>\n
***<\/p>\n
## Requirements<\/p>\n
| Mod |Required? | ***<\/p>\n ## Mana Unification<\/p>\n The core of Ars ‘n’ Spells: **five configurable modes** that control how the two mana pools interact.<\/p>\n | Mode |How it works | Conversion rates between the two mana systems are fully configurable.<\/p>\n The mod automatically hides the redundant mana bar so your HUD stays clean.<\/p>\n ***<\/p>\n ## Gear & Spell Integration<\/p>\n * **Gear perks cross over** \u2014 Ars armor bonuses apply to Iron’s mana pool (and vice versa), depending on your active mode. ***<\/p>\n ## Resonance<\/p>\n When your mana is nearly full (above 95% by default), you gain a **Resonance bonus** that boosts Iron’s spell damage. A reward for mana-efficient play.<\/p>\n ***<\/p>\n ## Cross-Mod Progression & Affinity<\/p>\n * **Progression sharing** \u2014 Casting Ars spells grants Iron’s school progression, and vice versa. ***<\/p>\n ## Unified Cooldowns<\/p>\n An optional system that groups similar spells across both mods into shared cooldown categories. Prevents spell spam by locking out related spells when one is cast. Disabled by default.<\/p>\n ***<\/p>\n ## Covenant of the Seven Integration<\/p>\n When **Covenant of the Seven** (Sanctified Legacy) is installed, two powerful ring systems unlock.<\/p>\n ### Ring of Seven Curses \u2014 Life Point Casting<\/p>\n Wearing the Cursed Ring converts all mana costs into **Life Points (LP)**.<\/p>\n * **Blood Magic Priority** _(default)_ \u2014 Draws LP from Blood Magic’s Soul Network first, falls back to player health. If you run out of LP:<\/p>\n * **Safe Mode** _(default)_ \u2014 Spell is cancelled, you take 1 heart of damage. LP costs scale with configurable base multipliers and per-tier scaling.<\/p>\n ### Ring of Seven Virtues \u2014 Aura Casting<\/p>\n Wearing the Virtue Ring converts mana costs into **Aura**, a custom resource that regenerates over time (default: 10\/sec, 1000 max pool). Aura persists through death and dimension changes. If you run dry, the spell simply fails.<\/p>\n ### Blasphemy Curios \u2014 School Discounts<\/p>\n Thirteen Blasphemy curio variants (Fire, Ice, Lightning, Holy, Ender, Blood, Evocation, Nature, Eldritch, Aqua, Geo, Wind, Dormant) each provide:<\/p>\n * **15% base mana discount** on all spells Discounts stack multiplicatively with ring costs. A fully kitted setup can reach up to **40% off**.<\/p>\n ***<\/p>\n ## Scroll Cost Enforcement<\/p>\n Iron’s Spellbooks scrolls now respect your resource costs:<\/p>\n | Mode |Behavior | ***<\/p>\n ## Configuration<\/p>\n Everything is configurable via `config\/ars_n_spells-common.toml`. Major options include:<\/p>\n * **Master toggles** for mana unification, resonance, cooldowns, progression, and affinity All options ship with balanced defaults \u2014 install and play, or fine-tune to your liking.<\/p>\n ***<\/p>\n ## Commands<\/p>\n | Command |Description | ***<\/p>\n ## FAQ \/ Troubleshooting<\/p>\n **Q: Ars mana isn’t changing in ISS Primary mode.** A: Make sure Iron’s Spells ‘n Spellbooks (3.15.x) is installed. Check logs for mixin load failures.<\/p>\n **Q: I see two mana bars.** A: Verify your mana mode is set correctly. Check for overlay conflicts from other UI mods.<\/p>\n **Q: “Insufficient LP” even though I have enough hearts.** A: Make sure `lp_source_mode` isn’t set to `BLOOD_MAGIC_ONLY` without Blood Magic installed. The default (`BLOOD_MAGIC_PRIORITY`) falls back to health.<\/p>\n **Q: Scrolls are casting for free.** A: Check that `scroll_cost_mode` is set to `full` (the default).<\/p>\n ***<\/p>\n ## License<\/p>\n GNU GPLv3<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Ars \u2019n Spells is a Forge 1.20.1 (with limited support for 1.21.1 ala Version 2.0.2) compatibility mod that bridges Ars Nouveau and Iron\u2019s Spells \u2019n Spellbooks by integrating all mana-related systems.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":19885,"template":"","meta":{"_minecraft_slug":"ars-n-spells","_minecraft_project_id":"NlMT8pQt","_minecraft_author":"otectus","_minecraft_license":"LicenseRef-All-Rights-Reserved","_minecraft_downloads":865,"_minecraft_follows":2,"_minecraft_client_side":"required","_minecraft_server_side":"required","_minecraft_storage_type":"zip","_minecraft_archive_name":"ars-n-spells.zip","_minecraft_size_bytes":225743,"_minecraft_version_count":1,"_minecraft_updated_at":"2026-05-15T19:15:25.662772Z","_minecraft_date_created":"2026-03-30T23:09:22.884322Z","_minecraft_date_modified":"2026-03-26T00:07:08.991084Z","_minecraft_project_url":"https:\/\/modrinth.com\/mod\/ars-n-spells","_minecraft_icon_attachment_id":19885,"_minecraft_imported_at":"2026-05-31T20:42:16+00:00","_minecraft_import_hash":"27fdf28b3b3d7b91ab3544a4bcc5df4d","_minecraft_versions":"","_minecraft_links":"","_minecraft_gallery":"","_minecraft_api_metadata":""},"mod_category":[104,89,122,92],"mod_loader":[106],"minecraft_version":[36],"class_list":["post-19884","mod","type-mod","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","mod_category-forge","mod_category-game-mechanics","mod_category-magic","mod_category-utility","mod_loader-forge","minecraft_version-1-20-1"],"yoast_head":"\n
