Animus

Animus (formerly known as NOVA) is an addon for the magic-themed mod Blood Magic that significantly expands gameplay through new rituals and sigils. All features are best explored through the in-game manual or source code on GitHub.

Rituals

Ritual of Sol (Tier 0)

Takes light sources from adjacent containers and distributes them evenly throughout the world. Excellent for lighting up cave systems as it spreads light sources down to bedrock level.

Ritual of Luna (Tier 1)

Removes light sources from the world and places them in adjacent containers. Works with any light-emitting blocks.

Ritual of Entropy (Tier 0)

Converts items from adjacent containers into cobblestone. Essentially a cobblestone generator that runs on any available trash.

Ritual of Unmaking (Tier 1)

Allows disenchanting items or splitting enchanted books into books with lower enchantment levels.

Ritual of Peace (Tier 0)

Spawns peaceful mobs within the area of effect.

Ritual of Culling (Tier 2)

Instantly kills mobs in the area to obtain blood while suppressing death effects. A more balanced alternative to "Well of Suffering".

Ritual of Nature's Leech (Tier 1)

Absorbs growable blocks within a 48-block radius to replenish altar blood. Can be accelerated using demonic will.

Ritual of Regression

An imperfect ritual that allows removing the anvil limit from held items.

Ritual of Eldritch Will (requires Thaumcraft)

Cleanses flux in the area and converts it into demonic will. Features numerous configuration options for balancing.

Sigils

Sigil of Phantom Chains

Captures a mob's soul when used, which can then be released elsewhere.

Sigil of Acquisition

Allows marking a block in the world and moving it to another location.

Sigil of the Fast Builder

Enables incredibly fast block placement from the off-hand.

Sigil of Consumption

Spreads "antimatter" to adjacent blocks of the same type. Breaking one block destroys all adjacent ones.

Sigil of the Storm

Summons lightning from the sky when used on a block. Deals area damage during storms.

Sigil of Nature's Leech

Restores hunger by consuming plantable items from inventory or surrounding vegetation.

Other Items

Phantom Builder Block

Replaces itself with the held item when used and disappears after a short time.

Khopesh

Combat weapon that damages all mobs near the target. Bound version is used for mass mob sacrifice to altars.

Mob Souls

Souls of mobs captured with Sigil of Phantom Chains. Can be released with right-click.

Key of Binding

Allows sharing LP networks with other players and binding Blood Magic items.

Altar Diviner

Shows the outline of the next altar tier and automatically places components.

Fragment of Healing

Provides regeneration effect when in inventory. Effect strengthens with more fragments.

Additional Features

The mod offers high configurability: almost all rituals and items can be disabled or have their costs and requirements modified. Also includes an option to disable boss sounds.

Mod development continues, and the team always welcomes feedback and suggestions from the community.
