====================================
No added quests | No added characters | No added progression | No added events | No added sugar | Just the magic
This is an optional mod that configures Stardew Druid, the main mod, to run in Magic Only mode. It's for players that are looking for a complete spell system but aren't interested in additional content.
Stardew Druid is a full expansion, and part of what it offers is a massive magic suite that provides an alternative to tool-based gameplay.
If you want the full fantasy expansion experience, including the lore behind each rite or how the mod works on a technical level, check out Stardew Druid's main mod page.
Enabling the full content is as easy as disabling this mod or setting Stardew Druid to run in 'druid mode' in the configuration.

Rite Effects
==========================================
Casting of rites requires a dedicated button, whether on keyboard, mouse or controller. The default keybinds, which can be changed in the configuration, are V, Mouse4, Mouse5 and LeftShoulder.
Most effects can be cast continuously at intervals by holding the rite button down. Some effects require 'channelling', which is essentially just holding down the rite button while standing still.
Magic by Neosinf uses the slot-attunement feature of Stardew Druid. Each rite is assigned an inventory slot from 1 to 6, though this can be modified in the config. Pressing the rite button while a tool or melee weapon is selected in that slot will cast the effect.
The currently selected rite is displayed as a buff indicator in the HUD. Clicking on the buff should open the specialised menu for the mod, which is a more limited version of the menu available in Stardew Druid when playing the full version.
-----------------------------------------
1. Rite of the Weald
-----------------------------------------
Weald is an old fashioned name for a woodland area, where ancient druids would perform ceremonies honouring the kings of Oak and Holly. This rite is about rewilding the empty spaces of the Valley and drawing on the life essence of the Earth.
Draw out the hidden bounty of the valley, add trees and grass to barren spaces, enhance the growth rate of crops, explode weeds, twigs, ore veins and trigger rock falls in the mines.
-----------------------------------------
2. Rite of Mists
-----------------------------------------
The isle of mists is an important place in medieval sagas, and the residence of the Lady Beyond the Shore. This rite is about being a commanding presence with awesome displays of power and lots of lightning bolts.
Extract power from totem shrines, target scarecrows, rods and campfires for special functions, create high-yield fishing spots, and smite any obstacle in your way.
-----------------------------------------
3. Rite of the Stars
-----------------------------------------
Celestial bodies and formations were an important device of storytelling and calendar traditions. That's all very wonderful and this rite is about calling down little stars as fireballs.
Call a meteor shower and rain down fire from the sky with reckless abandon, or create an anomaly in space-time with a gravity well that pulls in crops and enemies.
-----------------------------------------
4. Rite of the Fates
-----------------------------------------
The fates are mentioned in many traditions of cultures that were adjacent to or inspired by the Fates of Greek mythology, and are the etymological root for faeries, fae and the like. This rite is about chance and destiny intertwined to produce random effects.
Meddle with the powers of the Fates to warp travel, curse enemies, impress villagers with magic tricks and enchant farm machines.
-----------------------------------------
5. Rite of Ether
----------------------------------------
The fifth element, ether, which inspires a lot of alchemical traditions, is considered to incorporate both the spiritual/divine and the material. The traditional progenitors and agents of this element were... Dragons.
Transform into a Dragon!
-----------------------------------------
6. Rite of Bones
----------------------------------------
The Corvidae family of birds are often used as a motif in old superstitions, in which they are likely depicted as manifestations of close familial bonds between mortals and otherworldly spirits.
Summon four corvid familiars to assist you
==========================================
MENUS
==========================================
Effects (Keybind K,L)
This menu contains information on all the rite effects, including their range, stamina cost and casting instructions
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dragonomicon (Keybind O)
This menu provides configuration options for the Dragon transformation. It works in a similar way to a configuration menu, as the values are stored in the config.json file.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Apothecary (Keybind P)
This menu provides the means to craft a series of powerful potions. Each potion in the main three series has a unique buff that enhances rite effects, and a base potion can be upgraded to higher tiers by adding more ingredients.
Ligna - provides the alignment buff at tier 2, which increases the damage output of rite effects.
Vigores - provides the vigorous buff at tier 2, which increases critical hit rate of rite effects.
Celeri - provides the celerity buff at tier 2, which increases cast speed and cooldown
