README

Sorcery Redux

In Valheim, spells are tied to items: no staff in your hand, no magic. Sorcery Redux expands what a spell can be. Spells cost Eitr, train Elemental Magic through useful casts, and need no item at all.

Valheim is all about items, and we barely use chat. So why not start? Every spell has its words. Type them in chat and everyone nearby sees what you are about to cast, or press a hotkey and the words are said for you.

  • Chat casting: type the spell's words (for example ljos) in chat.
  • Hotkeys: one key per spell. Switch them off in the config (Enable hotkeys) if you want to cast only by chat.

Spells

Words Skill Required level Cost Effect
ljos Elemental Magic 0 20 Eitr Light: torch light above you for 6 min 10 s, shown as a status effect with a timer. Recasting refreshes it.
ljos mikil Elemental Magic 13 40 Eitr Great Light: blue torch light above you, 33% wider than Light, for 11 min 35 s. Replaces Light while active.
heil Elemental Magic 8 20 Eitr Light Healing: heals 40 HP over 4 s (10 per second).
hradr Elemental Magic 4 60 Eitr Haste: 30% faster movement for 30 s, with a green swirl and a cast sound.
heil mikil Elemental Magic 20 70 Eitr Intense Healing: heals 120 HP over 4 s (30 per second).
galdra kapa Elemental Magic 14 50 Eitr Arcane Cloak for 3 min: damage after armor is taken from Eitr first, then health. Eitr per damage falls from 2.0 at level 14 to 0.6 at level 100 (about 1 at level 65). The bubble appears 1.5 s after casting. Ends when your Eitr runs out, with a message on screen.

Healing works like a healing mead but has no cooldown, so you can recast right away. It reuses the healing mead's drink effects. Arcane Cloak shows a faint blue bubble, built from the Staff of Protection's effects. Lights fade in and out.

Default skill gain: Light 0.33, Great Light 0.67, Light Healing 0.33, Intense Healing 1.17, Haste 1.00, Arcane Cloak 0.83. These are training amounts, not whole skill levels. Healing awards gain once per cast only when a tick actually restores health. Refreshing an active buff gives no gain, including switching between Light and Great Light. Arcane Cloak awards gain when its delayed effect starts, not for ongoing Eitr absorption.

When your Elemental Magic reaches a spell's required level, a message tells you which spell you learned. The inventory Compendium (Texts tab) has a "Spellbook" entry and one entry per learned spell.

Default hotkeys: Light V, Great Light B, Light Healing H, Intense Healing J, Haste K, Arcane Cloak N. Hotkeys can be disabled entirely; chat casting always works.

You need max Eitr above 0 (eat Eitr food) to cast.

Other players see the light too if they have the mod installed.

Config

General: Enable hotkeys (default on) and Say words on hotkey cast (default on).

Every spell has its own section: hotkey, Eitr cost, required skill level, skill gain per cast and duration.
