		</shape>
		<shape id="Beam">
			<name>Beam</name>
			<desc>It isn't much of a mental shift to switch from a channeled spell to a beam.  The amount of strain, however, is another story.  A beam is a much more controlled version of a channeled spell.</desc>
		</shape>
		<shape id="Self">
			<name>Self</name>
			<desc>One of the simplest forms of magic application is applying the magic to yourself.  The distance is low, and the target is willing.  You only hope you don't accidentally light yourself on fire.</desc>

		<shape id="Chain">
			<name>Chain</name>

Chain by default contains an 8-block built in touch-like component, so there is no need to add additional stages; though you can if you like, projectile for example to start the chain somewhere else.  A chain spell cannot affect the caster.  Chain jump range can be extended by using the #5Range#0 modifier, and the number of jumps can be increased by using #5Procs#0</desc>

		<shape id="Binding">
			<name>Binding</name>
			<desc>You can create solid objects out of nothing!  The binding shape allows you to bind tools to yourself, which drain constant mana while bound, and burst mana when used instead of durability.  Dropping the item with the drop hotkey (default 'q') will instead unbind it.</desc>
		</shape>
		<shape id="Wall">
			<name>Wall</name>
			<desc>You can manifest a wall in front of you.  The wall will run perpendicular to your current direction.  Walls function similarly to zones, but with a different form factor.  Walls also apply their effects more rapidly.</desc>

		</component>
		<component id="FrostDamage">
			<name>Frost Damage</name>

		<component id="FireDamage">
			<name>Fire Damage</name>

		</component>
		<component id="Storm">
			<name>Thunderstorm</name>
			<desc>The clouds darkened, and rain began to fall.  The wind howled, and a flash of lightning streaked across the sky, leaving bright flashes in my vision.  The thunder was deafening.  Lightning struck all around me at each enemy.  The strain of maintaining the storm was immense. </desc>
		</component>
		<component id="AstralDistortion">
			<name>Astral Distortion</name>
			<desc>As I tried to step into the void, the warp shimmered and seemed to solidify.  I walked face first into it, much to the amusement of my students.  This effect seemed to prevent my teleportation abilities entirely.  I had to turn this against Endermen as well.</desc>

			<desc>Wind whirled around under the creeper and suddenly all at once blew straight up, sending it skyward.</desc>
		</component>
		<component id="WateryGrave">
			<name>Watery Grave</name>
			<desc>The water seemed to come alive, wrapping tendrils around the light mage and dragging him down into the black, crushing depths.  His friend on the shore could only watch helplessly, for to jump into the water would mean the same fate for him.</desc>
		</component>
		<component id="Leap">
			<name>Leap</name>

				<desc>If one were to look up at the sky at the right time of night, one may see a meteor descending from the sky.  These meteors contain the rare mineral Moonstone.  Where exactly these meteors came from, nobody knows, but the magical properties of Moonstone far excel anything else found in the world.  Studies have shown that the meteors fall more and more often as the moon waxes full, then decreases again as it wanes back to new.</desc>

			<name>Essence Nexus</name>
			<controller>TileEntityEssenceNexus</controller>
			<desc>Adapted as a middle ground between the Light Nexus and the Dark Nexus, the Essence Nexus boasts more powerful generation capabilities than the Light Nexus, but without the side effects of the Dark Nexus.  !l To create the middle rune, simply craft #9Blue Chalk#0 and right click the top of a block to make the rune at that position. !d To generate raw essence, it requires at least one liquid essence source or flowing block below it to act as a source of power.  Keep in mind the essence cannot be directly below it as breaking the block directly below will also destroy the nexus.  Once one block is found below it (up to 10 blocks down), the nexus will search recursively based off of that location in an attempt to find additional liquid essence sources.  It will continually drain the liquid essence source blocks found and create raw essence.  The liquid essence source blocks are eventually consumed.  Each one gives roughly 500 essence, but there is some randomization to it.  Flowing liquid essence blocks are not used to generate power and are not consumed, but are used to search for additional source blocks.  AM2 adds a recipe for #9Chiseled Stone Bricks#0 for the caps.  Look under #9Blocks#0 for the recipe.</desc>

		<structure id="darkNexus">			
			<name>Dark Nexus</name>
			<controller>TileEntityDarkNexus</controller>
			<desc>A sinister construction, the Dark Nexus slowly but invariably pulls living creatures from around it inward to its center.  Upon reaching the middle, the souls of the damned emerge from the nexus and tear the life force out of the creature. !l To create the middle rune, simply craft #4Red Chalk#0 and right click the top of a block to make the rune at that position. !d The Dark Nexus feeds on the life force, gaining a great deal of power; the more life experiences the creature has had, and the strength of its constitution all play a role in power generation.  The power does come with a cost though, as the Dark Nexus will rapidly corrupt the area its in, so great is its evil.  It produces a dark power that tends to make machines run faster, but become unstable over periods of extended use.</desc>

		<structure id="lightNexus">			
			<name>Light Nexus</name>
			<controller>TileEntityLightNexus</controller>
			<desc>The Light Nexus is by far the weakest of the three, but is the most easily attainable, as well as the most reliable. !l To create the middle rune, simply craft #9White Chalk#0 and right click the top of a block to make the rune at that position. !d Drawing essence out of the atmosphere, the Light Nexus will serve to increase the purity of an area.  It requires no items or living souls as sacrifice, and constantly generates power, but at a steady trickle.  It does have the benefit of being able to upgrade its capstones with gold, diamond and eventually moonstone, to be more powerful.  The power it provides causes machines to run slower, but often provides additional benefits to their operation.  The light nexus #5will only charge during the day#0 with the exception of #9Moonstone caps, which only charge at night#0.</desc>

		<structure id="gateways">
			<name>Gateway</name>
			<controller>TileEntityKeystoneRecepticle</controller>
			<desc>Gateways are quite efficient at short range, but longer distances require significantly more power.  The maximum range for a Gateway has been tested to be roughly 12km, though an extreme amount of power is required to traverse such a span.  A keystone can be inserted into the Keystone Receptacle in order to lock the gateway to the keystone's rune combination.  Only then by activating another gateway with a matching keystone can one arrive at the keyed gateway.  If the key does not match or no keystone is held at all when the gate is activated, it will be as if the keyed gateway doesn't even exist.  This method can be used to control where you will wind up in the gateway network.</desc>

			Harnessing the forces of creation, the crafting altar allows mages to work miracles of magic.  This is where you will create all of your spells in Ars Magica.  The structure is upgradeable by 2 main groups, the caps and the main material.  Both groups individually increase the available power of the altar and allow it to make more powerful spells.  The main blocks, in order of power, are as follows:
			!l
			Wood Planks (+1 Effect)
			!l
			Stone Brick (+1 Effect)
			!l
			Sandstone (+1 Effect)
			!l
			Bricks (+2 Effects)
			!l
			Witchwood (+3 Effects)
			!l
			Nether Bricks (+3 Effects)
			!l
			Nether Quartz (+3 Effects)
			!l
			!l
			For the caps (grand total of 5 in the structure), the progression is as follows:
			!l
			Glass (+1 Effect)
			!l
			Coal Blocks (+2 Effects)
			!l
			Redstone Blocks (+3 Effects)
			!l
			Iron Blocks (+4 Effects)
			!l
			Lapis Blocks (+5 Effects)
			!l
			Gold Blocks (+6 Effects)
			!l
			Diamond Blocks (+7 Effects)
			!l
			Emerald Blocks (+8 Effects)
			!l
			Moonstone Blocks (+9 Effects)
			!l
			Sunstone Blocks (+10 Effects)
			!l
			!l
			These stack cumulatively, so for example wood planks with glass caps would equal a maximum of 2 effects, whereas stone bricks with redstone caps would have a maximum of 4 effects in a spell.  The maximum number of effects you can currently have on a spell is 13.

			<desc>The hecate is a dark spirit from the nether.  Occasionally, the walls between the Nether and the Overworld can weaken, allowing the Hecates to spawn in the overworld.  The hecate is an assassin - it moves extremely fast and can turn invisible briefly when attacking.  They deal a large amount of damage, but thankfully don't have much in terms of resilience  It's rumored that if you move slowly and quietly enough, you can pass by them undetected as long as you don't get too close.</desc>

				The mana elemental is a combination of vinteum shards
				held together by bolts of raw essence. They are towering
				creatures, often reaching 3m in height. They attack with
				bolts of raw mana that lash out, dealing minor damage
				but stealing mana, and return to the elemental, healing
				it based on the amount of mana stolen. They are highly
				resistant to physical damage. If all the mana is drained
				from the elemental, it will die.

			<name>Essence Refiner</name>
			<desc>
				The essence refiner takes everyday items and using
				#5Arcane Ash#0, refines them into a pure representation
				of their parts, known as #5essences#0. The recipes for
				specific essences can be found under #9Items ->
				Essences#0. The essence refiner also requires #2Raw
				Essence#0 to function. This can be obtained from a
				%9Light Nexus#0, where raw light essence makes the
				process quite a bit slower, but there is a chance you
				will either not consume some of the recipe ingredients,
				or could get a second essence. Neutral raw essence can
				also be obtained from a #9Neutral Nexus#0 or a #9Mana
				Battery#0, which has no specific advantages or
				drawbacks. Finally, raw dark essence can be used from a
				#9Dark Nexus#0, which significantly reduces the amount
				of time it takes to refine the essence, but can cause
				the machine to build up #4Deficit#0. The spinning ring
				on the UI will shift from blue to purple as the
				refinement process progresses and eventually completes.

		<block id="essenceconduit">
			<name>Essence Conduit</name>
			<desc>
				Infused with dusts to direct raw essence through the
				air, the Essence Conduit began seeing heavy use almost
				immediately after its invention. However, channeling
				such magic often creates a minor void inside the
				crystal, a #4defecit#0 of magic. Should this not be
				properly managed, the void of magic will begin to
				consume part of the raw essence travelling through the
				conduit, making it take more raw essence than normal to
				complete the transfer chain.
			</desc>
		</block>
		<block id="crystalpillar">
			<name>Crystal Pillar</name>
			<desc>
				Originally intended to be an improved design of the
				Essence Conduit, researchers found its ability to
				channel essence severely lacking. The materials simply
				didn't have the conductiveness to relay enough power.
				However, the materials were exceptional at preventing
				magical voids from forming. A slight re-design allowed
				these crystals to directly inject residual mana from the
				area into a magical void from a short distance away,
				stabilizing it and preventing the vinteum crystals in an
				Essence Conduit from building deficit.

		<block id="casters">
			<name>Caster Blocks</name>
			<desc>
				A spell is nothing more than directed essence. The will
				of a magic user dictates what the essence does, and if
				they have enough capacity for essence, the magic will
				flow forth. The caster was designed to replicate that
				ability, converting raw essence into a burst of magic
				that is directed through a spell focus (as well as the
				occasional mana focus) and shaped via the instructions
				on a spell scroll. Because of the extreme essence draw
				of certain spells, the internal crystals were fitted
				with a slot to allow a charge focus which causes the
				amount of incoming essence to be increased
				substantially. Alternately, a mana focus can be fitted
				into the same slots, causing the internal essence
				routing to be much more efficient.

		<block id="blockseerstone">
			<name>Seer Stone</name>
			<desc>
				Operating on a similar principle as the Astral Barrier,
				the Seer Stone uses an essence aura projected through a
				spell focus to detect nearby objects. It can be
				controlled by focusing the essence to a particular type
				of object, and the resonant frequency of the essence can
				be dictated with the use of a Keystone. Without the use
				of a Keystone, the resonant frequency fluxuates
				unpredictably and cannot be avoided. The seer stone,
				however, is meant for a more subtle approach, letting
				the object continue, but emitting a small signal that
				often activates much more powerful defenses. By sneaking
				up and activating the stone, one can even (if he has the
				correct key of course) cause the stone to invert its
				detection methods, detecting those with the matching
				keystone combination.

		<block id="blockastralbarrier">
			<name>Astral Barrier</name>
			<desc>
				When walking the void, one must be aware of barriers.
				Projecting an essence aura through a spell focus, these
				barriers resonate at a specific magical frequency,
				dictated by a keytstone. Without the proper matching
				keystone, these barriers will destabilize your magics
				and force you out of the void. Should the astral barrier
				not have a keystone present, its magic frequency will
				fluxuate unpredictably, and no amount of Keystones can
				protect you from its effects. Several Dark Magi raids
				have been foiled and several Light Magi have been
				captured due to their failure to spot the barrier in
				time.

		<block id="blockkeystonerecepticle">
			<name>Keystone Recepticle</name>
			<desc>
				Not all magi are capable of walking the void as a means
				of travel, nor are all willing. The void is detectable,
				blockable. Gateways were developed by the Dark Magi
				early in the war, and it allowed them to take many Light
				Mage encampments by surprise, as it uses alternate
				pathways to transport to its destination. Astral
				Barriers were ineffective at stopping the arrival of the
				Dark Magi, and the destination gate required no power of
				its own. The Light Magi destroyed as many as they could
				find, but the Dark Magi only needed one. The only hope
				was when a young Light Mage by the name of Damien
				Callitri discovered that the gateways could be locked
				down if a Keystone was inserted into a flaw in the
				design at just the right spot in the gateway mechanism,
				and would actually cause the gateway to send the Dark
				Mages to a different gateway (or nowhere if none others
				existed that weren't locked down). This halted the raids
				completely, and allowed the White Magi to turn the tides
				back in their favour, as they could actually use the
				gateways to return to their keystone gate. The design
				flaw became jokingly known as the "Keystone Recepticle"
				amongst the White Magi.

				Vinteum was discovered during a heated battle between
				the Light and Dark magi when a stray arcane bolt
				collided with an ender bolt. The resulting explosion
				created a crater several meters deep, where a sparkling
				blue ore shimmered in the light of the afternoon. It
				appears to have no magical properties of its own, but
				when heat is applied, it becomes a fine dust with an
				exceptional capacity to conduct essence. As such, it is
				widely used in magical contraptions all over the world.

				Drawing further on vinteum dust's ability to conduct
				essence, a small group of brilliant magi created a frame
				out of iron and gold which is capable of storing massive
				amounts of essence. The ratios of iron to gold cause any
				power entering the battery to be polarized, removing it
				of any dark or light power effects. Mana batteries will

		<block id="magiciansWorkbench">
			<name>Magician's Workbench</name>
			<desc>The magician's workbench was born out of necessity from the large number of items mages tend to make.  However, one particular mage got tired of having to clear out the crafting grid every time he forgot a sub-component, and having to run to a chest, usually dropping items along the way.  This table #5has multiple crafting grids#0 that you can use simultaneously to make items.  It also remembers previous crafting recipes (the most recent 8) and can restore that recipe to the crafting grid with the click of a button, provided the components are in its #5internal storage#0.  There is an upgrade you can craft that will increase the size of the second grid to a 3x3 from a 2x2.</desc>

		<block id="everstone">
			<name>Everstone</name>
			<desc>Everstone is a magically-infused block that can mimic other blocks much like #5illusion blocks#0 can.  However, when broken, Everstone will #9not drop, but rather become incorporeal for a brief time#0.  After that time, it will re-solidify and return to its original state.  While it is solidifying, everstone can be passed through as if it is not there.  To make it mimic a block, simply right click on the everstone with the desired block in hand.  If it is not already mimicing a block, it will assume the properties of the new block.  To remove the mask, simply right click the everstone with a #5Crystal Wrench#0.  Right clicking an everstone that is not already mimicing a texture will cause it to drop as normal and be recovered.</desc>

		<mechanic id="affinity">
			<name>Affinities</name>
			<desc>#5Affinity#0 represents a bond to certain areas of magic.  You start with no affinity.  Your affinity is represented as a small chart on the HUD, and can be viewed in more detail at an Occulus (craftable Block).  Your affinity will shift based on what spells you cast, meaning as you cast certain types of spells more often, you will get better at them.
			Casting spells of a differing affinity will shift you towards that affinity.  Once you reach 100% in an affinity, you become locked to that affinity, and will need to read an opposing affinity tome to unlock your affinity, at which point normal progression will resume.  Unlocking a full affinity will drop you down to 80% depth.
			
			Each spell component has an affinity.  Components of the same affinity as you will cost less mana, and depending on your affinity depth (how far into the affinity you are), may not even cost reagents.  Components of the opposing affinity, however, will cost more mana and again, depending on your affinity depth, may cost additional reagents.  Affinities offer specific bonuses and disadvantages, described on the affinity-specific pages.			
			</desc>
			<subitem id="earth_affinity">
				<name>Earth Affinity</name>
				<desc>
					Earth affinity grants a minor defense bonus, due to your hardened skin.  At max, you will have 10% overall damage reduction, applied before armor.  This amount depends on your affinity depth into earth, and begins at 25% depth.
					!d
					With earth affinity, you are heavier, and as such you will sink more quickly in water (though never enough that you cannot surface), and you cannot fall as far without taking fall damage.
				</desc>
			</subitem>
			<subitem id="water_affinity">
				<name>Water Affinity</name>
				<desc>
					Water affinity grants a bonus to swim speed as well as slower breath loss underwater.  You are also not pushed by flowing water.  Endermen that attack a full water-affinity mage will take damage as if they had touched water.
					!d
					Water affinity mages take damage periodically if exposed to fire, making the nether particularly dangerous.  This damage will not take you below 75% health, and will not occur at all if you are lower.
				</desc>
			</subitem>
			<subitem id="air_affinity">
				<name>Air Affinity</name>
				<desc>
					Air affinity grants a bonus to jump height and lets you fall farther before taking damage.  These bonuses are dependent on your affinity depth: you can jump one block higher and fall one block farther at 50% depth.  This bonus increases to 2 at 75%, and 3 at full depth.
					!d
					Air affinity mages are hindered by rain and storms; the wind blows you around and you must move slower.  #5Sneaking#0 or casting a spell of #5Gravity Well#0 can negate the effect and allow you to move in the storm, albeit slowly.
				</desc>
			</subitem>
			<subitem id="fire_affinity">
				<name>Fire Affinity</name>
				<desc>
					Fire affinity grants damage reduction in fire and lava, though never complete immunity.  The protection is directly related to your affinity depth, and reaches 60% reduction at full depth.  Punching enemies at full affinity will light them on fire.
					!d
					Once your fire affinity reaches 50%, you will start to take damage periodically when touching water sources.  This damage will not take you down below 75% health and will not occur if lower.
				</desc>
			</subitem>
			<subitem id="nature_affinity">
				<name>Nature Affinity</name>
				<desc>
					Nature affinity gives you additional seeds and saplings when harvesting plants from around the world.  At 50% depth, you will gain the Thorns effect, causing melee attackers to take damage (similar to the armor enchant).  This damage increases at 75% affinity and at full affinity.  At full nature affinity you also slowly regenerate hunger in direct sunlight.  At full nature affinity, you can extend roots into the ground, allowing you to climb certain surfaces like a spider does.
					!d
					Nature affinity causes you to move slightly slower due to your roots. At full nature affinity depth, you lose hunger more quickly at night or in dark areas.
				</desc>
			</subitem>
			<subitem id="ice_affinity">
				<name>Ice Affinity</name>
				<desc>
					Ice affinity causes attackers to be slowed.  At 50% depth, while sneaking you will freeze water to ice in front of you, allowing you to make bridges as you move.  At 100% depth, you can freeze lava to obsidian.
					!d
					All ice mages move slightly slower due to being cold blooded, unless on ice or water.
				</desc>
			</subitem>
			<subitem id="lightning_affinity">
				<name>Lightning Affinity</name>
				<desc>
					Lightning affinity causes you to run faster.  The speed increase is directly related to your affinity depth, ranging from 1 to 30%.  At 50% depth, you gain the ability to step up over one block high ledges.
					!d
					Unfortunately due to your affinity you are also somewhat of a living lightning rod (50% depth or greater).  Better take cover during rain and thunderstorms.  Lightning bolts still hurt.
				</desc>
			</subitem>
			<subitem id="life_affinity">
				<name>Life Affinity</name>
				<desc>
					Life affinity causes you to very slowly regenerate additional life.  The regen speed is directly related to your depth.  This regen happens regardless of your hunger level.
					!d
					Due to your close ties with life, any time you kill something it makes you sick and nauseated for a while.
				</desc>
			</subitem>
			<subitem id="arcane_affinity">
				<name>Arcane Affinity</name>
				<desc>
					Arcane affinity causes all spells to cost 5% less mana, in addition to other mana reductions.  At full depth, there is also a chance that upon casting a spell, you will gain the clarity effect, causing your next spell to cost 0 mana.
					!d
					As a disadvantage, all magical damage sources do more damage to you.
				</desc>
			</subitem>
			<subitem id="ender_affinity">
				<name>Ender Affinity</name>
				<desc>
					Ender affinity gives you poison resistance at 50% depth, and at 75% depth you gain night vision automatically in dark areas.  At full ender affinity, Endermen will not attack you, unless you attack them first.
					!d
					Due to your dark nature, your maximum health is reduced in light, and at full ender affinity, it is reduced in water as well.

			<desc>Creating spells is somewhat time consuming, but simple.  First, learn some spell parts using an #5Occulus#0.  Next, lay out the spell you want to create at an #5Inscription Table#0.  Place the book from the inscription table on the lectern of your crafting altar structure, and throw in a #5Blank Rune#0.  The book will guide you through the rest of the process, showing you what you need.  When essence is required during the spell creation process, use a #5crystal wrench#0 to change the power type if necessary, then flip the switch on the multiblock.

It's recommended that you cast on diminished until you are around magic level 10. !d #5Normal#0 is a medium mode with moderate damage and mana cost. !d #9Augmented#0 casting is the most powerful, but carries the most mana cost. Augmented must be unlocked before it can be used. !d Casting mode is represented on your HUD by the #9fullness of the moon next to your mana bar#0.  #4Diminished#0 is a #4waning moon#0, #5Normal#0 is a #5half moon#0, and #9Augmented#0 is a full moon. !d The default key to change your casting mode is 'c'.</desc>

			<name>Foreword</name>
			<desc>Ars Magica began as my first foray into modding.  I have been developing software professionally for about 11 years as of AM2's release, but haven't done much game design.  I loved the game of Minecraft, but felt that it would be the perfect place for a magical world.  So I began, and who would have thought I would enjoy it so much.  I have spent literally hundreds of hours developing AM1 and AM2.  With some good tutorials and a bit of luck, I managed to figure out how to write AM1.  Now I have taken what I learned, solved some of the problems that came up (and probably introduced twice as many more), and have made Ars Magica 2.  I want to thank all of the people who helped this mod come to be what it is today, my beta testers, everyone who helped me with code, models, and texturing - this wouldn't be what it is without you.  And to you, the player, I hope that you have as much fun playing this mod as I did making it. !d Happy Casting! !l ~Mithion</desc>

			<name>Spell Components 101</name>
			<desc>Spells are comprised of #4shapes#0, #9components#0, and #2modifiers#0.  Shapes dictate how the spell targets things, Components dictate what the spell does to the things it targets, and Modifiers change certain aspects of spells.  A #4shape#0 can only appear once in a single spell.  Shapes can be chained together to create spell stages, for example, a "Projectile AoE".  Components can be added once per spell stage. As for modifiers, a single aspect of a spell can be modified three times per stage.  What this means is that if you have modifiers that change multiple parts of a spell, they may lock out other ones that modify the same stats if the total stat modifier for the shape is equal to three.

To extend the range of the nexus, you can place #5essence conduits#0 within the 10 blocks of the nexus.  Each conduit also projects a radius of 10 blocks in which it can relay power from the nexus, essentially extending the range in a chain. !d #5Conduits#0 and #5Other Machines powered by essence such as Calefactors, Reconstructors, etc#0 can only transmit/consume so much power in a given period of time before they begin to build up #4deficit#0.  Machines will begin to smoke as deficit increases, and conduits also turn red.  As deficit grows, the machines will become less efficient, and will require more power to perform their standard operations.  Once deficit reaches a certain point (1000), the machine will shut down and will be unable to operate until the deficit drops below 1000 again.  Deficit can be mitigated by inserting #5charge foci#0 or #5mana foci$0 into the conduit, or by placing a #5crystal pillar#0 next to the conduit if that isn't enough.
