of the game, required to unlock the player's burnout and mana meters, along with acting as an ingame reference or wiki. Upon obtaining an Arcane Compendium, a message will appear, stating that ":You have unlocked the secrets of the Arcane!".

The only reason this wiki is here is because the compendium is imperfect, and lacks some neccesary information about the mod.

Arcane Compendium Entry

Using this Compendium

This compendium is set up to unlock entries as you get to them, to somewhat guide you through the getting started process of this mod. You will be notified when you unlock a new entry. Categories with new items in them will shimmer, and new entries themselves will have a crescent moon marking them as new.

If you prefer not to have this, you can disable it in the config by changing "Staged Compendium" to false. This compendium is intra-linking. Any item you hover over that has green text can be clicked and you will jump to the entry for that item.

This compendium also leaves a breadcrumb trail, meaning you can step back through in reverse order the pages through pages you have visited.

To create the first item of this mod you'll need to find a pool of liquid essence. Pools are generated at random and are commonly found in Plains, Deserts and Hills biomes, although they can be found just almost in every biome around. They can not be found in other dimensions, however. Once you have found a pool, place an item frame next to it, and place the Book in the frame. After a few seconds, the Compendium will be created, and you'll be able to see your Burnout and Mana bar.
