Iron’s Spells and Spellbooks Wiki

Iron's Spells 'n Spellbooks is a Minecraft magic mod that adds nine schools of spells, the spell books you cast them from, and the wizards, structures and bosses that guard the best of it. You'll start out killing spellcasters for Arcane Essence, then build an Inscription Table so you can put spells into a book and cast them with mana. From there it's a steady climb through Scrolls, school armor and upgrades at the Arcane Anvil, working up to the Echo of Tyros in the Lost Citadel and the Dead King in the Catacombs. This wiki covers version 3.16.3 on Forge 1.20.1, and most of it holds on 1.21.1 as well.
