Magic Lens

arcanelens:magic_lens

The central item of the mod. A Magic Lens holds up to 5 spell slots at once, casts and cycles between them with keybinds, and carries its own mana pool that recharges from a linked Lens Pedestal.

Mechanics

  • Cast the currently selected spell, or cycle to the next one, with the mod's dedicated keybinds (Cast Spell / Cycle Spell).
  • Every spell costs mana to cast and has its own cooldown.
  • A lens's mana capacity grows by merging lenses together at a Lens Combiner, up to a 5x merge tier.
  • Spells are assigned to a lens's configurable slots using a Diamond Engraver at an Inscription Workbench.
  • Beyond its 5 configurable slots, a lens can accumulate additional locked copies of spells it already knows — locked and configurable copies of the same spell stack for a stronger, cheaper cast (see Spell Scaling below).

Obtaining

Crafted directly, then charged with mana at a Lens Pedestal linked to a Soul Pedestal.
