I tried to use the nexus but it wasnt spinning and it was in a 5 by 5 region with the pillars
Are you running the latest Ars Magica? The light nexus has changed from snow to quartz or it could possibly be growing pains from the 1.5 update. If you have a Twitch account or know how to use it pm me and mabey I could walk you through it or see anything that might have been overlooked, worked well last time.
And thank you, I'm not sure if I will be keeping these up though honestly. Been away for a while with school work and by the looks of the main forum Mithion has changed/is changing so much stuff I don't think I can keep up.
I may be missing something, but in my first world with 1.5.1 I can't seem to find a way to create or locate any new spells. I just have the 3 I started with. I have traveled about 600 blocks in most directions and aside from starting by a structure that just gave me books I have not found any books. I tried to create a new spell randomly using single runes and combinations and no luck there (firebolt was a single orange rune, but no other single rune spells seem to exist).
None of the guides say much about getting spells, just find them in the new structures or create by random combinations of runes.
Am I missing something obvious?
I appologize for missing this post for so long. Towers are moody at best, sometimes you don't find them for hours and sometimes you can't seem to get out of sight of them. Most likely you got really unlucky with tower spawns, as of a 1.4.7 version I think spell recipes can no longer be guessed, which means you will have to find the scrolls in those towers or ice mazes in pre 1.5. If you already updated to 1.5+ I'm afraid you may currently be out of luck, as I have read little but bad reports of experiences with the new tower mechanics.

If you use version 5.52.003, worldgen is much more controllable. Retro worldgen is also supported, so you could set your tower gen grid size to 200 or so and enable retro. Just make sure you turn off retro worldgen, as it remains on until you do.
Thanks alot! I will get right on getting pictures and such to add Calefactor to the list. I always overlook it seeing as I never used it myself. And yeah those Dark Mages, Im glad in the newer build they don't show up until lvl 7 cause with no magic it was like I had to hide inside until noon after the first night. And that leaves you with what, 4 min of daylight left?
I should also add abit about mana and the indicator for when you don't have enough mana to cast. And I can't believe I overlooked a link to the actual mod page. XD
the annoying thing about the dark mages is that in modpacks even stuff like quantum protests nothing against it )= and it cant be enchanted D=. do your spells have the same properties on other players?
If I understand you right Dreamblitz, yes they do. Though naturally the damage done by spells will be less with better mage armors, spells like Gravity Well and other affliction spells will do what they are intended, though Gravity Well seems to result in a flight slow on players as opposed to forced a drop to the ground on mobs. Btw if you are meaning to play pranks on a server, do not cast Curse of the Desert on normal if your target has low enough hunger to not have regeneration, I tested out my Curse of the Desert/Bound Sword combo on a bystander and put a 5 min DoT on him lol.
Well you're supposed to level up over time. By the point were you have level 50, you should have already built a decent mob grinder for xp. It's not something you should get over night, and with a magic level of 20 you should have enough mana to start playing around with spells quite frequently. Mana potions are also a nice thing to carry with you.
The leveling system is also being compleatly revamped for Ars Magica 2, so you have that to look forward to.

GUYS if you are using the latest version you have to use a block of quartz, not snow. IT took me an hour to get wind of that, but I browsed through the comment section and got the answer.
Sometimes that happens, it's some sort of graphics bug, used to be the center would turn a weird blue regardless of what kind of Nexus it was. Unfortunately as to the why, that's a question for Mith or someone with knowledge on game graphics, as I have none.

Qwerty is also right, the pillar composition has been changed in newer versions, and if I remember right the pillar caps can also be changed to affect power gain. Mabey glass, gold and diamond blocks? Or mabey I just lost my mind while I was away.
On another note I am more or less done with this page, I discovered Skyrim on the pc and got into modding it into Oblivion, if you get my pun lol. I apologize for my absence and will try to answer questions still but I am unfamiliar with the newest versions of AM and unfortunately those are the questions that will most likely be asked but I will still give it a shot. I also don't see a need to make a guide for AM2 as Mithion has replaced me with a much nicer in-game guide called the Arcane Compendium if I am not mistaken. Which you cannot miss because it will be required to unlock AM2 content. I look forward to its release so I can get into Mithion's new creations.
With the Arcane Compendium in AM2 I didn't see a need to do a guide on it, Mithion did just about everything I've done here with an in-game source. There is a Wiki being worked on right now but until that is up I suppose I could give it a try if you really want one. Just tell me what you want on it and I will see what I can come up with over the long weekend.
why will nothing in ars magica craft and if i make a creative world some of the stuff like a spell parchement wont show up
Two questions, first, where did you get the download? Second, could it have been installed wrong? If you are seeing some things but not others I would guess a corrupt download, if you don't see anything then I would say it didn't get installed right.
I'm getting this mod soon and this was very helpful!
