Kings of Magic
Welcome to Another CK3 magic mod Kings of Magic!
Have you every felt that your current character would make for a great thaumaturge? Or maybe you read too much Wuxia lately? Regardless of source, Kings of Magic can help you will your new interest!
Kings of Magic is newest(for time being) mod from me VecsonON, creator of Arcane Legacy Series and Developer for PoD. For everyone that still plays and enjoys Arcane Legacy mods, Don’t fear! I am not abandoning Arcane Legacy 4, Kings of Magic is only a detour to regain inspiration and motivation!
In Kings of Magic, there are 6 very different ‘schools’/traditions of Magic:
- Goetia: Inspired by Ars Goetia and similar grimoires! Learn True Names, Summon, and Control Demons for your own needs! There are 10 Demons with 4 powers each!
- Thaumaturgy: Inspired by various smaller magical traditions in Europe, Create your own spells and cast them against your foe or friends! And when I wrote ‘Create’ I MEAN IT. I gave you ‘lego blocks’ from which you can make your own spells!
- Theurgy: Be a saint and gain power of Miracles from god themself, every miracle scaling with your piety level!
- Alchemy: Obtain materials by various means, and brew potions with them! And the best thing? IMMORALITY for true masters of alchemy!
- Taoism: Cultivate your way towards immorality and union with Tao! Though that can take few hundred years, can you last that much?
- Onmyodo: Create various talismans and give them to your friends and family!
The best way to learn magic is obtaining a book of magic called grimoire, and then studying it by equiping it! Here are few ways to obtain them:
- Merchants: By usage of a decision, you can spend prestige to summon a merchant to your location with an mysterious book, but be aware! not always such book will contain real magic!
- Standard Ck3 Shenanigans: All grimoires are artifacts, and there are some at start of game. You just need to get them, somehow. I recommend usage of Search & Trade Artifacts
- Looting a Hideout:: Have you ever played Elf Destiny or Arcane Legacy 2? If so, you can recognize where I am going here. As you can loot an existing hideout in the world by usage of activity! But beware, doing so can lead to death!
If you read previous section, you could find mention of a ‘hideout’. Here you can learn what that is! Hideouts are domicile like mechanic of Kings of Magic, with their own buildings and upgrade you can built your own ‘magic tower’. You can build a new own, though such endeavour will cost huge amount of gold, or you can raid and claim existing one which can lead to injuries or worse. Death.
Every ‘school’ of magic unlocks new buildings for hideouts. And for future adventurers, you can learn magic from hideouts! But know, not every hideout is abandoned! Some still have their owners, and they won’t like someone intruding!
Additionally, AI can raid your hideouts dealing some damage to buildings built there! It is often worth building extra defenses in them for such raids to be harder for AI to succeed!
- Every icon/graphic I used in this mod is of my own creation, or in case of a singular icon from PoD.
- I used AI to prof-read some events, mostly ones from early development.
- Kings of Magic should be compatible with any other mod, Including Arcane Legacy Mods!
- Mod is inspired by A touch of Power, from where I got idea for using real life.
- Please do not try to summon demons in real life…
- I tried to make this mod as close to source material as I could, but If I made some mistake. I am sorry for that, I am talking here mostly about Taoism School, which I can guess is the worst in this regard.
- For non-steam users, here is link to Kings of Magic Github[github.com]. I probably won’t be uploading this to PDX, since I don’t really like how it works. But that is open to change
