terraria calamity pre hardmode mage tomes

[✚ Mariel ✚]

I've heard I can make frost bolt or flare bolt prehardmode and even combine them into frostfire, but I seem to need a bookcase and their materials seem hard to get. What's the easiest one to make? Also where is the abyss? I've run across the surface and found anormal ocean on one side and a yellow one on the other but no abyss

[zzz]

abyss is below yellow ocean you gotta go in through a hole in the bottom of it

frost bolt materials are easy just get the herbs from the planet above you (make rope straight up into space) and get some iron and buckets for the water

The abyss is underneath the yellow one (Called the sulphurous sea). Going into the sea gives you the poison effect, so I'd recommend bringing a bezoar with you until you go far enough down.

I've got the material for frostbolt but I lack a bookcase to make it. Thanks for the abyss location!

Bezoar is useless in the sulphurous sea, and the water will no longer be poisonous in the abyss, but watch out for the depth crushed debuff

bezoar is a hard mode item anyway and I was gonna go plunder it with a shadow key. Maybe I would be best tunnelling to the bottom. So long as I make a U bend in the tunnel the water won't be able to drain out

bezoar isn't hardmode item, and also making tunnels to the abyss is impossible until hardmode

JUst search the calamity wiki!
1st layer, id recommend Beozar and mid-prehm stuff
2nd layer, Id deffinetly recommend a Gills potion and something to prevent the depth crushed buff, Early hardmode stuff is recommended, If your Very good at calamity i would recommend Late-pre Hardmode stuff.
3rd layer, not helpful here, But i wont mention 4th, 3rd layer IS harddd, recommend post Pillar loot, even post ml, Bti went dw there with halibut + crystal and full Ataxia armor with ranger.

1st of all, bezoar is not that useful in the first layer as the sulphurous water no longer reaches there, and yeah, prehm stuff is great there
2nd layer gills will work, but not for long, add an extra jellyfish divinggear, and i recommend using ocean emblem ( drops from desert scourge ) as it boost much more air and if that is not enough, try to get the siren heart ( that turns you into a siren ) and you would have a heck ton of air to stay for like 10 minutes in the abyss
3rd and 4th are pretty much full of minibosses, except for the lumenyl from the environment but probably still need to be on post plantera to craft the stuff
also on the 4th layer lies the terminus

Thankyou for the great advice!

I found a bookcase in the dungeon and made a frostbolt but it seems worse than water bolt. Also water bolt guzzles my mana compared to space gun so I'm just using space gun now XD
