Spellbooks

New late-game weapons to make progression more fun, each type of book being locked behind a boss (cannot be crafted, only one per world). All spell books use XP to charge attacks.

• Red (fire) spellbooks throw a ghast fireball that doesn’t destroy blocks, just causes explosion that burns only mobs (charging would increase the size of explosion), which can be found in nether in a new structure with wild blaze boss, then dropping key to chest.
• Cyan (lightning) spellbooks would cast a horizontal lightning bolt straight in the direction the player faces (max distance: 50 blocks) but if staring at ground the bolt goes straight up out of block face. Charging adds 10 seconds of charged effect on player, increasing speed & haste & adding thorns, and summoning lightning on yourself with this effect would let out a charged creeper explosion(no damage to player, but does destroy blocks). Can be found in a sky monument or new type of ocean monument.
• White (ice) spellbook launches ice block in front that explodes on impact, freezing mobs and knocking them back, sliding them off ground. Charging would cause blizzard around player in an increasing radius, slowly spreading white dragon-breath, where if player has frostbite gains resistance & regeneration. Can be found in a structure in ice spike biome w/Iceologer guards.

No limit to charge attacks (rewards excess XP), fire spell can blow out snow spell, snow spell can stop burning, lightning can delete uncharged projectiles if timed right,

  To add on/clarify, the “thorns” effect of the lightning book refers to mobs being electrocuted when hitting you; charging it for longer also makes you faster & jump up to 2 blocks, but it caps out at a certain speed.
  *The white (snow) spell book: changing its uncharged attack to a “snow charge” (a wind charge attack as a column of explosions, but the knockback value is negative, allowing players to pull in mobs/projectiles and make a pseudo-tornado); costs the least xp, does 1 damage & applies slowness IV for 2 seconds. Also changing its charged attack to the ice block attack, just combining it with the white dragon-breath particle attack (to resemble snow). Anyone in the particle effect gains frostbite, but when the user gets frostbite, they get regeneration & absorption. Entities hit directly will have their animation suspended for a while, depending on how long it was charged. Attack does more damage (but caps off) and snow effect grows wider (no cap) the more it’s charged.
  Fire Spell book: the higher the charge, the higher the knockback & initial damage, the projectile is same size but deeper red, the explosion afterwards is what increases (can one-shot several mobs+be used for strong rocket jumping).
  *Player can only equip 1 book at a time. These items are indestructible, but if lost, will reset in loot table in the dungeons they’re found in.
