Spell Codex

Discover, unlock, equip

The loop never really changes: find a spell, pay to rank it up, put it on the bar, cast it.

Discover

Ways a spell enters your Codex:

MethodWhat you doNotes
Codex PageRight-click the pageGrants discovery + tier I. Message: “Discovered … — unlocked at tier I”
Empty page + Scroll ForgeHold school focus + Empty Codex Page, use the forgeCosts 10 levels of XP, consumes focus and blank, rolls an undiscovered spell of that school whose tier-1 rarity ≤ blank ink
Iron’s scrollUse / pick up as Codex converts itScroll is studied, then fades. Same discover + tier I
Filled spellbookSneak + right-clickAbsorbs every spell in the book. Book stays empty — equip it for more actionbar slots

Unlock higher tiers

  1. Click an ink slot that matches the next tier’s rarity (Common → Legendary Iron’s inks).
  2. Press + on the spell.
  3. Pay the XP cost.

Default XP if nothing is configured: 20 + 10 × tier (so tier 2 ≈ 40, tier 3 ≈ 50, …). Pack authors override this in school_unlock_costs.json / spell_unlock_costs.json.

Hold a matching school focus while unlocking → 25% cheaper XP. Ink cost does not change. Creative mode skips ink.

Wrong ink selected → “That tier needs … ink”. No ink selected → “Select an ink in the Codex…”.

Respec refunds a slice of spent unlock XP (default 25%) and wipes paid higher tiers. Discoveries stay — every known spell drops back to free tier I.

Equip and cast

  1. Click an unlocked spell. If it has several tiers, pick one.
  2. Drop it on an actionbar slot.
  3. Close the Codex and cast from the bar only.

Wide school lists scroll. Use the school tab arrows if the school you want is off-screen. Progress bars under the Codex track discoveries for the current school and overall.

Edit HUD (button on the Codex) lets you drag the action bar, mana bar, and cast bar separately. Each has a scale control. Reset / Cancel / Done are on that screen.

Spellbooks = more slots

Sneak + right-click a filled book → learn its spells. Equip the empty book → the action bar grows to that book’s slot count. Without a book, you get defaultActionbarSlots (default 3).
