Tome of Arcana

*Tome of Arcana* is a book from the Arcana update which contains a large variety of information for creating numerous Arcana update-related items, such as mana crystals, wands, essences, and more.

## Getting Started

The *Tome of Arcana* is a magic-related item obtained through placing a book and Arcane Essence on an enchanting table. Right-clicking the enchanting table will fuse the two together, and create the Tome of Arcana.

In-game, it contains writings written by Meredith to the reader, teaching how to progress with magic.

*"Greetings my newfound wizard in training! This tome should teach you all you need to know regarding the arcane. Grab your hat, broom, and don't forget your cauldron."*

### Crafting Recipes Listed

There are many recipes in the book, utilizing multiple stations. One notable station would be the cauldron.

*"Just throw all that into a boiling cauldron, and stir."*

The first recipe listed is a subtle way of teaching how to create a Mana Crystal.

*"The first thing every wizard needs is a source of power. You'll want to make yourself a mana crystal. Now how does one make one of those, you might ask? Why it's quite simple. First, grab your nearest enchanting table. Next, place your ingredients upon the enchanting table. Wait, you forgot your ingredients? You mean to tell me you didn't bring a ghast's tear, blazing dust, an ocean crystal, quartz, lapis, and the three gemstones amethyst, diamond, and emerald?..."*

*"...Not even the bottle o' enchanting? Good grief. How embarrasing. It looks like I'll just need to list off the recipes for you instead."*

After this section of the book, it leads into how to craft many items required for magic. Typically, they will be crafted at the enchanting table.

*"Bring your ingredients to the enchanting table, place the objects on top, and right click to seal them together."*
