Spellbookery

My take on a magic system in Minecraft, with a lot of Terraria in there, too.

Collect souls from entities over the course of the game and get spellbooks by either finding them in Jungle Temples or by crafting them. Next, find a new Mystical Forest and craft special bookshelves from the new wood. Infuse the souls into the books to get powerful new weapons!

Also, you can create staves to harness the power of the more temperamental spells without any adverse effects.
