Getting started

Tier 1: Wizard Robe and Wizard Staff

You can start with the tier 1 gear of Wizards. Stormcaller gives it lightning power:

Item (from Wizards)	Lightning Spell Power
Wizard Robe, each piece	+20%
Wizard Staff (main hand)	+5

• Lightning Bolt is added to the spell choices of the Wizard Staff (tag #wizards:weapon/wizard_staff). It can show up when a new staff picks its spell; at the Spell Binding Table it replaces the other tier 1 spell of the staff.
• The Novice Wand of Wizards stays a fire wand. Spark is cast with the Lightning Wand.
• The values and the switch are in stormcaller-server.toml, section [wizards_tier_one] (see Configuration). An entry for spell_power:lightning in config/wizards/equipment_v2.json always wins, nothing is counted twice.
• The lightning line always sits right under Frost Spell Power in the tooltip, also when a pack adds mana or other lines in the Wizards config.

First recipes

All recipes use vanilla items (only the Amber Lightning Staff needs Better End).

Item	Recipe
Lightning Wand	Copper Ingot top right, Iron Ingot bottom left
Lightning Staff	Lightning Rod top right, a Copper Ingot left of it and one below it, Stick in the center, Iron Ingot bottom left
Lightning Robe	Wool and Copper Ingots in the shape of the armor piece (hat, top, bottom, boots)
Lightning Rune	Cobblestone (any stone tool material) + Copper Ingot → 2 runes, + Lightning Rod → 4 runes (shapeless)

• The Lightning Rune (runes:lightning_stone) comes from the Runes mod, which has no recipe for it. Stormcaller adds four: by hand (2 or 4 runes) and at the Rune Crafting Altar of Runes (8 or 16 runes). Without RunelessRPG every lightning spell costs one rune.
• Robes and weapons can be smelted back like the Wizards gear: robes and the staff give a Copper Ingot, the wand an Iron Nugget, the Netherite versions Netherite Scrap.
• Netherite versions (tier 3) and the tier 4 robes are made at the Smithing Table, see Equipment.

Tome of Lightning

Create a Tome of Lightning at the Spell Binding Table of Spell Engine, just like the books of the other schools. Then bind its spells there, one at a time. Each spell needs levels and Lapis Lazuli; the higher the tier, the more.

Tier	Spells in the tome
2	Chain Lightning, Lightning Nova
3	Static Shield, Lightning Strike
4	Thunderstorm, Storm Elemental

• A tome holds one spell per tier (3 of 6), like the books of Wizards.
• Hold the tome in the off hand and a wand or staff in the main hand to cast its spells.
• Lightning Spell Scrolls with the same spells drop as loot (see Loot, trades and advancements).

Recipe book

Every Stormcaller recipe unlocks in the recipe book as soon as you pick up one of its ingredients (like the Wizards recipes). The Amber Lightning Staff recipe only exists with Better End.

Next steps
