Installation

Magic requires CraftBukkit, just place Magic.jar into the plugins folder. This is all you need to do to experiment with spells, by default only ops can get wands (though anyone can cast any spells if they get ahold of a wand with spells!)

See these files for updated documentation on specific configuration parameters:

https://github.com/elBukkit/MagicPlugin/blob/master/CONFIGURATION.md https://github.com/elBukkit/MagicPlugin/blob/master/SPELLS.md https://github.com/elBukkit/MagicPlugin/blob/master/WANDS.md

And this page for more for information on customizing Magic.

Commands

The default permissions give several new commands to admins:

Wand configuration parameters for "configure" and "upgrade":

The mgive Command

The /mgive command works a lot like the vanilla and Esssentials /give commands. It can be used to give any item to any player, including Magic items like wands, spells and upgrades. It can also be used to give XP to players, which currently may be needed as a work-around to wands blocking XP given by the /xp command.

• /mgive [player] <item> [amount] : The general, flexible format of the command. The "item" is the only required parameter.
• /mgive NathanWolf elder : Give NathanWolf an Elder Wand
• /mgive fling 32 : Give yourself 32 "fling" spells. Spells will stack, and can be placed in chests or given to players.
• /mgive NathanWolf xp 200 : Give NathanWolf 200 XP, which will work event if he is holding a wand.
• /mgive NathanWolf gold_nugget 32 : Give NathanWolf 32 gold nuggets. Item format must follow Bukkit's Material enum.
• /mgive spell:wolf : Give yourself the "wolf" spell. The "spell:", "wand:", and "upgrade:" prefixes can be used to differentiate between items with the same name.
• /mgive book:engineering : The "book:<category>" item will create a "Spell Book" containing all the spells in that category, with lore and costs descriptions.
• /mgive book:all : Give a "master" spellbook that contains all spells, organized by category.

Utility Commands

• /magic load : Reload config files, update spell configurations.
• /magic save : Force saving of player data. Also saves other data, like lost wands and image maps.
• /magic commit : Commit all changes (like casting "Commit" on all players)
• /magic cancel : Cancel all in-progress construction batches.
• /magic list [wands | automata | maps | tasks] <player> : List all lost wands, maps or automata. The "tasks" parameter can be used to check for runaway tasks in any plugin.
• /magic clean <player> : Clear unowned lost wands, or a specific player's lost wands.
• /magic clean ALL : Clear all wands from all worlds.

• /spells : Lists all spells that a player knows about. A player may view detailed information about any spells they have permission to cast. This command is safe to give to players, though it removes some of the mystery. Players can see the same information in-game about spells they have on their wands (via the lore tooltips).

The Cast Command

The /cast in-game command is very powerful. It lets you cast any spell directly, but (more importantly) it lets you use "command line parameters" to play around with the configurable spell system. Many spells in Magic are based on the same "building block" spell, using parameters. And, by tweaking those parameters yourself, you can create some interesting and powerful spells. A server admin can then make them "official" spells by adding them to spells.yml, so players can use the new spell on their wands.

As an example, the "boom", "kamikazee", "kaboom" and "nuke" spells are all variants of "BoomSpell", tweaking the "size" parameter (mainly). A "nuke" for instance is "size 20" - want to see what a 10x nuke would look like? Try /cast boom size 200 ... but be forewarned, it's not pretty!

Parameters to the cast command follow the same name and format as in spells.yml, and are passed in pairs - e.g. /cast <spell> <param> <value> <param> <value>. Browsing through the default spells.yml is the best way to get a feel for what your options are.
