Ho there traveler! I see you've been lugging that pickaxe with you: expecting to do some mining? Well drop that heavy thing to the dust, my friend! No more primitive tools, no more backbreaking labor, no more dust and grime. Mine like a Mage my friend, with Extract Ore! "But wait" you say, "I still have to carry all this heavy ore into town to smelt it." Wrong! My friend, I have a spell for that too, with Smelt Ore.

What's that? Do I have... *voice drops to a whisper* transmutation magic? Of course not my boy, transmutation is illegal, banned by the Synod Grand Council in 4e 142! A Transmute Ingot spell? I have nothing of the sort!



This mod adds three new spells, allowing you to mine, smelt, and transmute metals using the power of magic.

Extract Ore- Cast on any deposit to extract the precious ores inside. This is a channeled spell: equip it in one or both hands and aim it at an ore deposit, then hold down the mouse button(s). The ore will begin to drain from the deposit into your inventory.

Smelt Ore- Allows you to smelt your ores into ingots any where, any time. Once the spell is cast, you enter the smelting dialogue: from here you can smelt anything you can at an actual smelter, including dwarven metal fragments.

Transmute Ingots- Allows you to turn any ingot into any other via a crafting menu. This spell gives you access to a unique crafting menu, where you can turn your ingots into an equivalent number of lead ingots. Lead can then be transmuted into any other kind of ingot. However, you create less lead from cheaper ingots, and it takes more lead to create more expensive ones: this spell is not the wealth-creation abomination that the old transmute spell was.

Two versions of this mod available: one where Transmute Ingots replaces Transmute Mineral Ore entirely (recommended for balance) and one where the old Transmute is still available.

Where can I find these spells? Wherever spells are sold: they've been added to the leveled items tables, so anyone that sells alteration (Transmute Ingot and Extract Ore) and destruction (Smelt Ore) spells should carry them. All are level 25 spells, and so should be available at the start of the game from most spell vendors.

How do I install this mod? Unpacking the zip into your data folder should do the trick.
