Mana and Artifice is a mod created by and the official spiritual successor to. Shapes, Components, and Modifiers return, but are more balanced and stabilized. The mod currently limits spells to one Shape, one Component, and three Modifiers.

Rituals
Rituals are a way to establish more powerful effects at the cost of requiring a lot of setup and preparation. For example, one can create portals that allow travel over long distances, control time and the weather, travel to or summon other players, or make powerful alliances.

Enchanting
Mana and Artifice allows players to select their own enchantments by using an arcane forging system.

Manaweaving
The Manaweaving mechanic allows players to use a special wand to perform actions like summoning a grimoire or add magic into rituals. It can be substituted with a block that can draw the patterns instead.

Factions
The mod uses a faction system that allows players to ally themselves with wizards, fey, or demons. Each faction has powerful benefits and drawbacks.

Occulus
The Occulus is in-game documentation that is acquired early in the mod. It tells players what is needed to progress and what can be crafted at their progression level. Progress advances by tiers.

Arcane Codex
The Codex Arcana is in-game documentation that synchronizes with the player's current tier to show more information about what they can craft or perform.
