FAQ

Can a server limit how many active magic circles a player has?

Yes. ACTIVE_MAGIC_CIRCLE_NAMES selects circle registry IDs, ACTIVE_MAGIC_CIRCLE_LIMITS supplies matching per-caster limits, and ACTIVE_MAGIC_CIRCLE_REPLACEMENT_TIME controls when an inactive record may be replaced.

How can a server reduce spell damage to terrain?

Edit mahoutsukai-server.toml. Terrain changes are controlled separately for each spell:

  1. Mystic Staff Big Explosion and AOE Explosion: set MYSTIC_STAFF_WORLD_DAMAGE = false.
  2. Mystic Staff Beam: set MYSTIC_STAFF_BEAM_MAX_BLOCK_BREAK_PER_TICK = 0.
  3. Borrowed Authority: set AUTHORITY_BLOCK_RESISTANCE_LIMIT = 0.
  4. Fallen Down Burial Mode: set FALLEN_DOWN_BLOCK_BREAK_PER_TICK = 0.
  5. Fallen Down Beam Mode: set FALLEN_DOWN_BEAM_IN = [].

How do I find Fae?

Follow these steps to spawn a Fae:

  1. Find a leypoint where leylines intersect with three rings around it.
  2. Stand right in the middle of it.
  3. Make sure your mana is less than your maximum mana.
  4. Every five seconds, there is approximately a 10% chance of a Fae spawning at your Y level within 10 blocks. The more open air near you, the closer to 10% it will be.
  5. Turn your sound on so you can hear the bells when a Fae spawns, then use Mystic Eyes of Fay Sight to see it.

Caliburn and Morgan are better at hitting Fae because their attacks sweep.

How do I get enough mana for an expensive spell?

Spend mana to increase your maximum, use regeneration sources such as sleeping and leylines, and carry charged Attuned Gems. Eligible nearby Mana Circuits can supply the remaining cost after personal mana and carried storage.

How do I make a spell?

Draw a blood circle, then use the three powdered catalysts for the spell on it. The completed recipe either creates an active circle or requires Spell Cloth to return a scroll, depending on the spell's casting form.

How do I make the mana display appear?

Take damage, then press Draw Mahoujin while the bleeding window is active; its current default key is M. Successfully drawing the blood circle unlocks the display. Client GUI visibility and position settings can still hide or move it.

Getting Started

How do I obtain …?

Each weapon has its own acquisition process. Use the item catalog for Caliburn, Morgan, Clarent, Emrys, Rhongomyniad, Replica, Nobu, and William/R'lyeh; spell-created equipment links to the spell that produces it.

Where are Mahou Tsukai's configuration files?

Client settings use mahoutsukai-client.toml in the instance config directory. Server settings use mahoutsukai-server.toml as a server-type configuration and are normally associated with the active world's serverconfig directory; modpack defaults can be supplied through defaultconfigs.

Where are the Mahoujin and Fog Projector settings explained?

The two projector pages explain their recipes, editors, field ranges, redstone behavior, Stick copy/paste controls, locator outlines, custom assets, and server limits.

Why did my spell not become a scroll?

Place Spell Cloth beneath the blood circle before completing a recipe that supports scrolls. Some spells work only as active circles and cannot produce scrolls; Boundary spells support both forms.
