Handbook rewrite part 1: Formatting and JSON-ification!
- Everything is now defined in a JSON file - Formatting is now done dynamically and content wraps properly no matter what font is used - Added inline hyperlinks - Added a movable bookmark for quick access to a specific page - Added next section and previous section buttons to flip through entire sections at once - Added a contents button visible on every page, which navigates directly to the main contents

"Mana is the arcane energy that gives wizards their powers. It is not a physical substance in its own right; rather, it is an everpresent aura which permeates everything in the world. In particular, it manifests itself in naturally occurring crystals, which can be found embedded in rocks underground. @wands Wands@ can store mana within them, and this mana is channelled into the @spells@ that you cast. Different spells require different amounts of mana, depending on how powerful they are and how long they last.",

Indeed, this is how the vast majority of mana exists - spread thinly throughout the world. However, to be of any use, it must be concentrated, either naturally over thousands of years, as is the case with crystals underground, or artificially - an advanced subject covered later in this book. There also exist various ways of making spells more mana-efficient and recovering some of the mana dissipated during spellcasting."

"The wand is the implement of choice for a wizard. With it, you can cast any @spells spell@ provided the wand can contain its power (see @tiers Tiers@). Wands come in many different varieties but you will almost certainly start with a basic magic wand.",

"Most wands begin their life as a simple arrangement of a magic crystal of some sort attached to a wooden stick, with a gold nugget affixed to the other end. The crystal is, of course, the source of the wand's power, as it provides the focus necessary to channel @spells@. The rest of the wand is important too though, as it provides not only a means with which to hold the wand, but also a path through which @mana@ can be channelled and directed.",
|
||||
|
||||
"As more spells are cast with a wand, it grows more effective at channelling @spells@, and can therefore cast spells of greater power. This effect can be discerned from subtle changes that occur in the shape and appearance of the wand itself: as a wand grows more powerful, its crystal will become more vibrant, it may change in colour depending on its element, and after a while, the wood from which it is made will start to grow and twist into more complex shapes.",
|
||||
|
||||
"When holding a wand, a small heads-up display will show in the corner of the screen. This indicates the spell that is currently selected along with a pictorial representation of it, and, if the spell has been cast, a cooldown bar indicating the time until that spell can be cast again. It also shows the names of the next and previous spells bound to the wand. To switch between spells, use the #next_spell_key and #previous_spell_key keys (these can be changed in options -> controls). You can also switch spells by scrolling the mouse wheel while sneaking.",

Spell books can be found throughout the world and it will not take long for you to come across one.

You can also right-click whilst holding a spell book to read more detailed information about the spell.",

"Scrolls, on the other hand, serve a different purpose: right-clicking whilst holding one will cast the spell that is bound to it, destroying the scroll in the process. Like spell books, scrolls can be found throughout the world, but you can also make them yourself by crafting a blank scroll from a piece of paper and some string. You can then bind a spell to the scroll using the @arcane_workbench arcane workbench@, but only if you have knowledge of that spell (see @enchanting_scrolls Enchanting Scrolls@). Scrolls are quite useful when you need to use a spell once or twice on a particular quest but don't want it to take up a slot on your @wands wand@. It should be noted, however, that scrolls are at best an inefficient method of casting spells.",
|
||||
|
||||
"To the untrained eye, the magical runes with which spells are written are unreadable. In order to identify a spell, you could, of course, cast it and see what happens - though doing so may cause unwanted side-effects, and many spells need certain conditions in order to work. A safer and more reliable option is to use a scroll of identification, which can be found in chests or purchased from a wizard. Right-clicking whilst holding one will identify the first unknown spell book or scroll on your hotbar, consuming the scroll of identification in the process."

"#colour_fireFire#colour_reset \nPerhaps the most destructive element, fire concerns burning, lava, and explosions. A powerful pyromancer will unleash hell upon their enemies and probably set the world alight in the process. Most fire attack spells set fire to their target, causing ongoing damage over time. However, be wary that fire spells may have no effect on nether mobs.",

|
||||
"#colour_iceIce#colour_reset \nThe element of ice is made of all that is cold. Frost spells often slow enemies down or freeze them completely, and are especially effective on creatures of fire. Frost magic can prove equally useful outside of combat, such as freezing water to cross a river.",
|
||||
|
||||
"#colour_lightningLightning#colour_reset \nThis element concerns lightning, storms, and the weather. A powerful storm mage is a force to be reckoned with, and some posess the ability to call down lightning at will. Lightning spells often damage multiple enemies at once and usually seek their target, making them an effective attack against any mob... but beware of creepers.",
|
||||
|
||||
"#colour_necromancyNecromancy#colour_reset \nNecromancy is the element of darkness, chaos and the undead. Necromancers are mysterious and often regarded as evil, though this is usually not the case. Necromancy spells are commonly used to summon creatures to fight for you or even bend the will of your enemies.",
|
||||
|
||||
"#colour_earthEarth#colour_reset \nThe element of earth is focused on the natural world: animals, plants, the wind, and such like. Earth magic is diverse and takes a wide variety of forms, from poisoning enemies to unleashing the fury of the weather. Earth spells are a mixture of attack, defence and utility.",
|
||||
|
||||
"#colour_sorcerySorcery#colour_reset \nSorcery is the element of force and change. Sorcerers manipulate light, gravity and even reality itself to fit their needs. Sorcery spells can be used, among other things, to grant their caster magical powers or move objects to their will.",
|
||||
|
||||
"#colour_healingHealing#colour_reset \nThe element of healing is concerned with defence and regeneration. Healers seek to protect themselves and their allies as much as possible and as such can be very difficult opponents. Though generally not used as an attack, the purifying light of some healing spells will do considerable damage to the undead. Healing spells are indispensable when in combat.",

"Magic crystals normally form naturally underground over thousands of years, by gradually drawing latent mana from the surrounding rock as they grow. Crystalline structures are very good at absorbing and holding mana, hence the mana is naturally drawn towards them. Given the right conditions, however, it is possible to greatly speed up this process. This has given rise to the advanced technique of crystal growing, which requires both great patience and attention to detail.",
|
||||
|
||||
"In order to encourage crystal growth, one must begin with a crystal seed. The most effective seeds have proven to be crystal shards, obtained by simply shattering a magic crystal into pieces. A crystal seed must then be planted into some kind of substrate, usually rock, although other materials are also viable. Left alone, this would produce a sizeable crystal in hundreds of years, depending on the conditions.",
|
||||
|
||||
"To reduce this length of time, several things can be done. Immersing the seed and substrate in mineral-rich water helps with crystal growth, but not with concentrating mana. To concentrate mana more quickly, two techniques can be employed: firstly, surrounding the growth site with lesser mana-gathering objects allows the crystal to draw from them, meaning the surrounding environment is constantly replenished with mana. Too many, however, and they begin to draw mana away from the growing crystal. Secondly, mana can be drawn through some materials better than others: air is very poor at this, whereas dense materials tend to be much better. Some wizards have taken to experimentation with exotic, magical, or even otherworldy materials to try and improve crystal growth. Some even claim to have altered the type of crystal that is formed in this way.",
|
||||
|
||||
"If conditions are exactly right, it is even possible for crystals to grow far beyond their natural size. Such crystals are known as grand magic crystals, and besides containing a great quantity of mana, they have a few specific uses."

There are numerous reports of wizards becoming trapped within containment fields and slowly being driven insane, perhaps by claustrophobia. A growing number, however, believe such occurences to be a deliberate part of the shrine's protective magic, and that the wizards trapped within are in fact being controlled to protect the structure. A chilling prospect, surely, for anyone who dares to venture near..."

"Magic crystals normally form naturally underground over thousands of years, by gradually drawing latent mana from the surrounding rock as they grow. Crystalline structures are very good at absorbing and holding mana, hence the mana is naturally drawn towards them. Given the right conditions, however, it is possible to greatly speed up this process. This has given rise to the advanced technique of crystal growing, which requires both great patience and attention to detail.",
|
||||
|
||||
"In order to encourage crystal growth, one must begin with a crystal seed. The most effective seeds have proven to be crystal shards, obtained by simply shattering a magic crystal into pieces. A crystal seed must then be planted into some kind of substrate, usually rock, although other materials are also viable. Left alone, this would produce a sizeable crystal in hundreds of years, depending on the conditions.",
|
||||
|
||||
"To reduce this length of time, several things can be done. Immersing the seed and substrate in mineral-rich water helps with crystal growth, but not with concentrating mana. To concentrate mana more quickly, two techniques can be employed: firstly, surrounding the growth site with lesser mana-gathering objects allows the crystal to draw from them, meaning the surrounding environment is constantly replenished with mana. Too many, however, and they begin to draw mana away from the growing crystal. Secondly, mana can be drawn through some materials better than others: air is very poor at this, whereas dense materials tend to be much better. Some wizards have taken to experimentation with exotic, magical, or even otherworldy materials to try and improve crystal growth. Some even claim to have altered the type of crystal that is formed in this way.",
