The mod is not fully complete. There are more spells, effects, bug fixes and improvements to come - but it is in a more than playable state as is!
Please note: this mod has a learning curve. There's lots of stuff you can do, and it will take a little practise to master each gesture. It's not RumbleVR levels of practise, but you may not 'get' some of the gestures immediately. Put a little time into it, and you'll be slinging spells and decapitating foes effortlessly.

Tutorial
The wand comes with a full set of video tutorials that show you how to cast every spell. Access this tutorial by holding Button + Trigger for a few seconds while holding the wand.
The tutorial unlocks progressively in tiers. Cast all of the spells in a tier to unlock the next tier.
This does not lock spells! All spells are available to play with, but the tutorials will unlock progressively.
Some more complex spell tutorials also come with ghost hands that perform the motions you need to do.
“Button” refers to the spell wheel button on Oculus Touch controllers, or the touchpad on the Index Knuckles controllers. It’s whatever you press to activate the base-game staff abilities.
A final hint for the tutorial: Gold spells require the button, while Purple spells require the trigger.
I recommend looking at the Lift spell first, so you can master targeting enemies and items. In the tutorial, it's the one with a feather icon.

A note on Rowling
Unfortunately this has to be said.This mod uses many aspects of popular culture that were brought into the world by J.K. Rowling. The entire concept of the mod, and many of the spells, is heavily based upon her work - although to be specific I was more inspired by Hogwarts: Legacy than I was the original books or movies. I quite enjoy the world she came up with, and it’s an extremely well known and popular IP.
However, her works have been heavily tainted by her outdated and disproven statements on trans rights. I want to make clear that in no way am I endorsing her views, and in no way will anything generated by this mod be used to support Rowling.
So: while I can’t avoid the association between this mod and Rowling’s work, I can make sure any profits from it go toward a good cause.
- 50% of the DP from this mod will be donated to The Trevor Project. They are an American nonprofit aimed at suicide prevention for LGBTQ+ youth.
- The other 50% of the DP from this mod will go to Equality Australia, a nonprofit that lobbies for LGBTQ+ rights over here in Australia.
Additionally, I will be donating 1,000,000 DP ($1000 USD), split among those two charities.
I highly recommend looking into these two, as they do a lot of good 🙂 Unfortunately Nexus has no options for trans charities in the list of auto-donation options you can pick from - so I’ll be making the donation manually every few months.
