Info

MagicSpells is a Minecraft Bukkit plugin that creates magic spells your players can use. Its main purpose is to give your players access to certain abilities that you might not want to give them unlimited access to. However, instead of just giving them access to boring commands, they instead get more interesting spells. Each spell can be configured in many ways:

Reagent costs (the cost of using the spell, including items, mana, health, hunger, experience, and item durability)
Cooldowns (the amount of time a player must wait between uses)
Durations (how long certain effects last)
Ranges (how far away spells can be used from their target)
Many more options, depending on the spell

Spells can be cast by using the /cast command, swinging a configurable wand item, or both. It's also possible to have them triggered from other actions the player may take. It's all customizable.

Usage

Before a player can cast a spell, they must already know it. There are several ways a player can learn a spell:

Taught with the teach spell
Learned from a spellbook
Learned from a tome
Gained from a grant permission
Purchased from a shop
Being a server op (they know all spells) For example, a server op can teach Bob the blink spell by typing: ''/cast teach bob blink''.

Once a spell is learned, it can be cast either by using the ''/cast'' command or by using a wand item. Now that Bob knows the blink spell, he can either cast it by command, by typing ''/cast blink'', or he can cast it with a wand item. To select the spell, he holds the wand in his hand and right clicks. Right clicking will cycle through any spells assigned to the item he is holding. When he has the one he wants, he left clicks to cast.

If Bob does not have the required reagents for the spell, or if he has cast it recently and it is still on cooldown, he will not be able to cast the spell and will instead receive an error message.

If mana is enabled, a player can use the ''/mana'' command to see how much mana they currently have. Mana can also be configured so it is displayed on the experience bar.

Also, is there a way to reload the spells without doing a full /reload?

I'm stuck again. I've created a predefined item of a feather with a dv of 1 for a reagent of the spell blink (called it charged feather.) but the blink spell keeps saying i don't have the reagent. Here's my codes:

Recipe Manager:

craft Charged Feather
@blockpower
redstone + redstone + redstone
redstone + feather + redstone
redstone + redstone + redstone
= feather:1
@Name Charged Feather

Predefined Item:

    charged_feather:
        type: "feather:1"
        name: "Charged Feather"
        lore:
        - "This feather seems to have a slight hum of energy to it."

Blink Spell:

blink:
    spell-class: ".targeted.BlinkSpell"
    name: blink
    spell-icon: ender_pearl
    description: Teleport a short distance.
    cast-item: basic_wand
    cooldown: 8
    range: 25
    pass-through-ceiling: false
    smoke-trail: true
    effects:
    - pos1 ender
    - pos2 ender
    cost:
    - mana 15
    - "feather:1"
    str-cost: 15 mana and a Charged Feather
    str-cast-self: You blink away!
    str-cast-others: "%a blinks away!"
    str-cant-blink: You cannot blink there.

I've even tried "charged_feather" and that doesn't work either.

I just tested plain feather and that works fine.

Am I doing something wrong?

I am having a lot of "aha!" moments with this plugin, but at the same time am running into a lot of "what the crap" moments.
This time my question is: How can I create a spell which fires a firework of a specific kind? I have done it before, but cannot remember how.
Also, I would like the effect on a spell to shoot red particles, but there does not seem to be a way to do this. Any suggestions?

I just loaded the latest version and tried to use dance casting. I added the relevant keys in the config and tested it with anvil using the sample sequence. I changed cast-item to dance-cast-sequence: CSCUC but no luck. The console tells me that I've started casting and then that my dance has failed, but no anvils are being tossed. Anything I'm doing wrong here?

The consume-cast-item is a cast item that casts the spell when it is consumed. It is not an option for consuming the cast item. If you want to consume the cast item, just set it as a cost.

I've been playing with the new additions with 3.0 and I want to use the consume-cast-item option but there is no description on how to use it. I would think it is a flag, either true or false, but when I have multiple spells say 'true' there is an error on console.

The spell 'fireball' has the same consume-cast-item as 'lightning'

I tried giving the data value for the item i wanted consumed and that doesn't work either.

If it is not possible to edit the telekinesis spell, would it be possible for anybody to create a spell that opens the iron door when clicked on it with the spell, but closes it again like a button? I really need this functionality, and I would love it if someone could create a spell which does that.

Visit the wilki, copy the spell examples and configure them to your liking by adding them to your config.

Unfortunately no, you can't configure it. It can only be used on a switch or button.

Hey guys, is it possible to edit the telekinesis spell so that it only opens and closes iron doors? I want to create secret-passages which can only be opened with this spell, and so I do not want to have to add buttons.

I want the door to basically open and close after a few seconds, like it would if opened by a button being clicked. But I want to click on the iron door with this spell.
Please help! I really need this functionality!

Effects seem to be broken in the latest version in the latest bukkit. Spells with effects added work fine except that none of the effects happen.

Is it posible to give a player a Magic Scroll or Magic Tome directly with a command?

I will be suggesting this on the tickets section.

I'm a troublesome sort.

Any way to set the amount of mana based on experience level?
