Modded Minecraft – Ars Magica 2 – Getting started guide

Hey it’s me Dave from the Kodambakkam another tutorial today we’re going to start working on ours magic Magica – just an introductory into that and what to do to get started so the first thing you’ll notice is there is this little pond these occur naturally in the world they’re always

Two by two and they always have this this this liquid them this bright blue liquid so this is where you’re going to want to start you’re going to want to find one of these and you’re going to want three things a book an item frame and some sort of block because what

You’re going to do is along the edge somewhere I’m going to place that block you’re going to take the item frame you’re going to put it on that block and then you’re going to put the book in that item frame and then you’ll notice that things start to change the book is

Drawing in magical energies from the area surrounding this little pool and after quick transformation you’ll see that it changes punch it out of the item frame we get rid of that item frame and you’ll notice I have a little message says you have unlocked the secrets of

The arcane and if we go to the book it is the arcane compendium pen diem you’ll see I got two new bars and a level there’s like a little level one there if you open up this book it is a guide to everything that is ARS Magica everything that you will need and

Everything that you might need to learn about to further your skills in the magical realm the next thing that we’re going to work on the next year I want to work on is in the block section the oculus and what this is is a gateway to the Stars the oculus shows your most

Intimate or you your most innermost self it is where you can spend your new skill points to unlock new shapes components and modifiers basically what this is going to do is is going to allow you to make spells to level up your skills and to use in the world around you

The first thing you’ll notice is that there is new or generation there is this topaz it can be broken with just a normal pic you know anything special iron being one of the more abundant resources and you’ll see that you get this little blue topaz rock so to make

The oculus if we look back here you’ll see that it is stone bricks I think these can be mossy as well glass some coal one piece of topaz and coal and coal on the other side so in here you’ll see that tools will grab all these grab

A crafting table nothing special to make this just the items that are required in a crafting grid like so and you get the oculus now this is going to be the thing that you put in your magic room or wherever you’re storing all of your magical magical goods once you place it

Down you can see it’s a interesting little thing I assume you look through there and it’s a telescope I don’t know but if you right-click on it you get this now this looks like the achievement or like the thaumcraft book and you can see there’s levels up here there’s three

Blue zero green zero rep you have offensive defensive utility and towns in general these all have their own page now I have three blue that I can spend as you work your way through this picking which spells you want to work on these will go away and the further down

In the chain that you go it will cost more and more of these these skills which you’ll gain through making skills and using skills in the world so we start off with three blue I’m going to make a projectile that does you do gravity or bounce I’m going to do

Physical damage and then fire damage so now you can see that this the path I’ve chosen I’m gonna be able to do anything else until I get more levels oops there we go so the next thing that we want to make is the actual table that we’re

Going to use you’re going to need spell parchment going to go right in here which is made by using a stick and paper very simple things oak planks some slabs a torch and feather let’s get this table going here you can see that’s the the table part of

The table for thaumcraft torch and a feather and you get your inscription table now this is two blocks I like a bed so you set it down neat little interesting thing here if you right-click on it now you can see that I have my projectile with physical

Damage and fire here I will need a book and quill put a book and quill right there you can search this once it starts to fill up and we’ll name this fireball and what you need to do is you need to drag one of these down here and you’ll

See that it has instructions right here that are kind of taken up by any eye but you need a component which is physical damage and then we wanted to do fire damage as well so these are the components this is what it’ll actually is two projectile those physical damage

And fire damage we’re gonna do both now what you do is then you grab the book out of there and it uses a book and quill but now you have this fireball you open this book up it is a combination projectile physical damage and fire damage materials are needed it’s an iron

Sword red rune which will get into the vin TM dust which I will show you as well arrow flint and steel snowball that kind of thing and the affinity breakdown is that it does 50% fire damage 50% earth damage so now this doesn’t do anything on its own you need another

Structure you need the crafting altar under structures crafting altar in our in our arcane book you can see that this is what it looks like you need to create this you can use a variety of materials with this the more expensive the materials you use the especially right here these guys

Here more expensive the items that you use the more complex of a spell you can make and then there’s the magic wall right here there’s also the lectern which will I’ll show you how to make and then the this guy crafting altar I’ll show you those and as you can see I have

Little little one set up over here already I just use standard cobblestone stone stairs and blocks of redstone I have the lever there so this is what it looks like let me just make sure it stays daytime all you’re doing is one two three four five by one two three

Four five and then a little thing with your stairs crafting altar is going to go there and the blocks that you have chosen to use for those four posts are going to help with the complexity that you’re making of your spells so this is going to be something that you’re going

To want to set up in your magic room with a the table and the the oculus depending on what you use here quartz or whatever it’ll be you can make it look however you want so what we need to do now is we need to make the crafting oops

Go back in here we need to make the crafting altar as well as the magic walls now when we look at the recipe for the crafting altar you’ll notice it’s pretty simple just a stone block and this medium dust the VIN diem dust is another or that shows up naturally looks

Like that but when you break it it comes to you as just the or how you get the dust is by cooking it it smelt it and you have been tiem dust so let’s grab this stone put the stone down with the dust get our crafting altar put that guy

There and we need to make the lectern let me show you the recipe for that just a piece of wood with slabs on top and that is this part right here so it’s going to be on the opposite wall of that put that guy down and now we need to

Make six magic walls magic walls are made by VIN TM dust on the other side of stone you actually get sixteen of them so that’s that’s cool so let me just grab stone real quick run over here to our crafting table Pentium dust 16 magic balls and these are going to go right

Here neat little see-through devices you can see that this is the finish structure nothing really special happens it just kind of does its thing so there’s no interface there’s nothing here except for the lectern what you’re going to do with the lectern is you’re going to take your spell that you’ve

Made your spell book and you’re going to right click you set it there and now what you’re going to need to do is you need to compile this list of materials okay so let me grab these and I will be right back alright so I have all of my materials that I

Need in your notes that I have an extra one this blank rune recipe for this it’s just cobblestone and you actually get two of them that is what is going to be the catalyst for getting this started so you’re going to drop the blank rune right there and you’ll notice that now

This changes and this is telling you what is needed next so we need vin tiem dust followed by an arrow you just thrown it in the middle here followed by the snowball followed by red runes now the red rune is just making a blank room which

So it was this and then any type of dye or the red stain sampling those things will change it to the Red Room so now we have this cue throw it in with cue we have our sword another red rune our flint and steel and finally our last vin TM dust and you’ll

See this changes now to a piece of parchment so we’re going to throw that that last piece of parchment inner here a little bit of music and you get this little guy here on the ground so now I have a projectile spell this you can see

A little bit of fire on my finger I’m a hand rather and if you right-click you get the option to name it what if you want and give it a nikon we’ll call it will called fireball and give it that will escape out of there now when I

Right-click I fire a fireball now you can see that my mana is used up that’s the blue marker on the side so we gotta wait for that to level to fill back up and you can see when I try and use it it turns purple and it yells at me saying

That it’s not it’s not available so wild that is filling up we’ll look at spell look the spell book recipe very simple leather string paper and that layout basically allows you to take your spells and put them in here it’ll also hold spells over here but these are all these

This is your hot bar for your spells so where the spell book sits is where the spell is going to be and then you can see up in the top left that is where my spell is so then if I shift roll it would change spells if I had more than

One but I only have one right now so now that I have this selected get away from my manna to fill back up so you can see now that I was able to use it I leveled up a little bit using spells is how you level up so you can

See that now I have a level 3 so that means I can do a little bit more work with burning spells and and using them and making new ones so these are the basics of getting going with ARS Magica 2 will go into a little bit more in depth in an upcoming episode

So firing let’s see if we can get another level here if this was helpful give me a like check out my other videos for more tutorials yeah missed him out of mana so check out my other videos as we go further into depth with ARS Magica too and we’ll give me a

Like to helps other people with finding my videos in the future like always I am Dave from Dakota good luck and have fun
