Introduction

Malum is a dark magic mod centered around spirit arcana; a dark study of soul magic. It's divided into several interpretations of the strange field of magic, which the player will explore through the use of the Encyclopedia Arcana, a strange journal written by an unknown author.

The codex will provide you with everything you need to get started. The codex is very open ended, allowing players to choose their own path. Malum offers little restriction to the order in which any player does things. You're free to prioritize whichever parts of the mod interest you most.

Natural Wonders

Not every color of magic is so grim and dark. Runewood Trees are a mixture of nature and magic, fitted with bark made for magic and a complete set of wood blocks.

The mod also adds plenty of underground ores for you to find, cthonic gold, soulstone, natural quartz.. and even more that I'll leave up to you to discover.

Spirit Magics

Functioning as the core system to utilizing spirit arcana, Spirit infusion is a magical process through which the player will create all sorts of miracles.

Spirit focusing is another powerful system that will accompany you in your daily life. The magic allows you to materialize new resources out of thin air using raw spirit matter.

Through spirit magics you'll be able to create a lot of new and exciting gear. Trinkets, armor, tools, weapons, and even more.

Each trinket and armor set provides it's own unique effect, some even offering some synnergy potential.

Totem magic allows you to utilize spirit arcana for various unique effects, each spirit has it's own rituals it allows you to utilize.

There's lots to Malum, these are only just a few things I decided to showcase. I encourage you to try the mod for yourself, and see what else it's hiding.
