Stardew Valley Gets Huge Magic-Based Expansion

This brand new Stardew Valley expansion lets you turn Pelican Town into the Mages Guild, complete with a bunch of fancy spells for you to try out.

What could you possibly add to a game like Stardew Valley that would improve it?

I mean seriously, what’s missing? More dogs? That’s the only thing I can think of that woul– oh, nevermind, there’s a bunch of dog-based mods.

Alright, so, dogs are covered already so how about… cool spells and magic?

MagicStardew is a new mod from Nexus Mods author Zexu2K that is currently in beta, but you can still try it out for yourself right now if you're feeling keen.

The mod adds a bunch of cool spell-based stuff to the game, including a mana system, complete with levelling-based progression and even multiplayer support.

So, how exactly does it work? First up, you'll have to complete all of the bundles at the Community Center, at which point you'll be visited by the Wizard.

From here, you'll be granted a "Spell Book" that will allow you to unlock 13 spells for you to mess around with. Or, y'know, you could just use the in-game console commands to add the spell book to your inventory.

The spells vary from useful, to cool, to downright broken. For instance, theHeal spell– yeah, that makes sense. Seems relatively balanced. The Earthquake spell that destroys all of the rocks on screen? Yeah that one seems kinda busted to me.

Just keep in mind that, as cool as this one is, it is still in beta. You’ll probably run into more compatibility issues and bugs in this one than you normally would with other mods, because it seems to be a pretty huge undertaking.

It seems the mod author is nowhere near done with this mod yet either, so keep an eye on it for any updates down the line!
