What this mod does
Mythbound Magic is a magic mod by Vies, who develops it live on Twitch. Its core idea is that spells are physical items: a grimoire holds the knowledge of each spell, and a casting tool copies it from the grimoire so you can use it.
Getting started
- Craft the Meditation Altar at the Thaumic Workbench and sit on it: it gives a mana buff that almost every spell needs.
- For now, the mage armor is the base game’s Cindercloth.
- There’s a ritual system in an early stage.
What’s included
More than 20 spells: fire, frost and shadow projectiles, Blink (short-range teleport), area heals, water breathing, flight, barriers and transformations into a bear, wolf, treant or lich, which don’t stack with each other. It also summons mounts with soul stones: bears, crystal golems, saber-toothed tigers, crabs and more.
With Update 7
The 0.6.2 file, from October 13, 2026, is the one tagged for 0.7; its changelog mentions lots of changes to block manipulation, one of the APIs that changed in this version. Heads-up: Update 7 adds its own mana bar and Runestones, and the mod page doesn’t explain how the two systems get along. Grow and Shrink are still in development, and when you reload, the game doesn’t keep the transformation models.

Common problems
Does it use the new Update 7 mana?
The page doesn't say: the mod already had its own mana with a meditation buff before 0.7, and the 0.7 file's changelog only talks about block changes.
Why is the file called 0.6.2 if it's for 0.7?
That's the mod's own numbering; on CurseForge the file is tagged 0.7.
Can I combine transformations?
No. Bear, wolf, treant and lich don't stack with each other.
What's up with Grow and Shrink?
They're in development: the size change doesn't expire with the buff, and you have to rejoin the world to remove it.
