Spells
Introduction
Spells is a plugin that adds magic spells to the game. It is the successor to a previous magic plugin developed by the same team. The goal of the plugin is to introduce a whole new style of play by adding new ways to fight, build, and more. This is achieved by allowing the player to cast a wide variety of spells with many uses. We want our plugin to feel like it is an integrated part of the game, not an addition. In order to accomplish this, we have added immersive features that go above and beyond the expectations for a normal server plugin.
Why Spells?
Spells can be customized and molded to your liking more easily than its competitors. Our plugin loads all of its spells from a folder that server owners can edit, allowing them to add and remove spells. This includes support for custom spells not made by our team. It is very easy to use Spells as a player. After crafting a staff via a custom crafting recipe, players are able to navigate a hierarchy of spells to find the type of spell that they need using only the mouse. This makes it efficient and easy to cast spells, and helps integrate spellcasting into the normal flow of gameplay. In order to balance the plugin, all spells have a material cost; the more powerful the spell, the more difficult it is to acquire the items required to cast it. Please note that in this beta stage of development, we are still trying to balance spell costs. Spells also features permissions support and a spell creation API.

Those both sound fun, and the lightning one is easy (our very first test spell shot lightning at the block you were pointing at, and also turned it to bedrock xD. That was just for testing though.) We really need to work on balancing them, and adding in more difficult spells (as well as balancing, that's the hard part!)

We are looking into spout. However, we are avoiding anything that makes it dependent on the client; Having spout installed will only make it easier to use the plugin, but it will be possible to use without spout. You can see some things we're thinking about here. Feel free to comment on that and recommend things! We're always open to ideas!

We're working on it. I've written automatically reporting spell cost stuff, but we haven't released an updated build yet. It's coming, though! For the record, Midas' touch is 10 Gold blocks

The crafting recipe for the staff is shown in our user guide, in the "Getting Started" Section. Just look up!

Thanks! I'm working on automatically having spells tell you what they need (If you try to cast them without the required materials) and the example spells are just simple spells that show what can be done with a spell. They shouldn't be in future releases, but will be important to helping people to understand how to make a spell (Which is an upcoming feature!)
