Info
MagicSpells is a Minecraft Bukkit plugin that creates magic spells your players can use. Its main purpose is to give your players access to certain abilities that you might not want to give them unlimited access to. However, instead of just giving them access to boring commands, they instead get more interesting spells. Each spell can be configured in many ways:
- Reagent costs (the cost of using the spell, including items, mana, health, hunger, experience, and item durability)
- Cooldowns (the amount of time a player must wait between uses)
- Durations (how long certain effects last)
- Ranges (how far away spells can be used from their target)
- Many more options, depending on the spell
Spells can be cast by using the /cast command, swinging a configurable wand item, or both. It's also possible to have them triggered from other actions the player may take. It's all customizable.
Usage
Before a player can cast a spell, they must already know it. There are several ways a player can learn a spell:
- Taught with the teach spell
- Learned from a spellbook
- Learned from a tome
- Gained from a grant permission
- Purchased from a shop
- Being a server op (they know all spells) For example, a server op can teach Bob the blink spell by typing: ''/cast teach bob blink''.
Once a spell is learned, it can be cast either by using the ''/cast'' command or by using a wand item. Now that Bob knows the blink spell, he can either cast it by command, by typing ''/cast blink'', or he can cast it with a wand item. To select the spell, he holds the wand in his hand and right clicks. Right clicking will cycle through any spells assigned to the item he is holding. When he has the one he wants, he left clicks to cast.
If Bob does not have the required reagents for the spell, or if he has cast it recently and it is still on cooldown, he will not be able to cast the spell and will instead receive an error message.
If mana is enabled, a player can use the ''/mana'' command to see how much mana they currently have. Mana can also be configured so it is displayed on the experience bar.

"Bukkit's time is now past - Nisovin 2015"
Bukkit's time may be over, but Minecraft isn't over, and plugins definetly aren't either, they are still alive and kicking both here and on Spigot.
@Nisovin Fix this plugin please... do it for 1.9 at least, don't leave your project to rot.
Love the plugin, appreciate the hard work. Although it doesnt respect anti-griefing tools. I spoke with a developer and they said this "MagicSpells needs to fire an entity damage event in order for anti-grief plugins to block it". Running 1.8.3 with MS 3.4.4
SmallEnderman : Try using the fork version by Sam. It is on the forums page. Then post your timings there if u still have issues.
akumosextreme: In the general config mana options try :
show-mana-on-experience-bar: true
Broken transformation skills, please fix.

hi you could help me I use this plugin to version 1.7 and I was wondering how can I make the mana to appear in my xp bar
Dance casting doesn't work for me. It shows a message that I completed the dance, but spell just isn't cast.
Think we could get Grief Prevention integration? My players love magic spells and grief prevention, but currently as spells can be cast inside claims things like armor stand get broken. Thanks for the great plugin!
@quintoking
Does carpet work for you? For me it just bugs out and lowers you into the ground.
Also, Tome doesn't work. Keep telling me to hold a book no matter if I do or not.
Does the mana for the XP bar not work in 1.8?
