I'm not sure if this mod is still "tended". I really like to use it, but I have an observation:
The priest should have the ability to wield wands and utilize the bonuses (even if they cannot use violence). This is a big drawback to that class. ( I have psycast extended too, so you can actually utilize offensive casts from there. Not sure how its programmed, but this could be mended I guess :)

I feel like the arcane weakness kicks in way too early. It should depend on total mana available, and draining it too low should trigger weakness. I can have a pool of 400 and cast two spells and get arcane weakness, which is really stupid. Fighters have no such issue, so why do casters?

Been experiencing an issue regarding this mod and Dead Man's Switch by ABOA and co, when using their Mechanoid's for hauling and cleaning it works fine, but when I try to get them to build they can't and just have an error log show up. Not sure if it's on Rimworld of Magic's side or DMS's end of something causing an issue, but I haven't seen anything like that with regular Biotech Mech's or other Modded Mech's. Really hope those can get fixed as they really are just such good mod's to use together.

@GladioSanctus have you checked our Kure's magic class expansion? It adds a bunch of new classes. Also, it's actually not too hard to design your own class - there is a custom class mod for Rimworld of Magic that can get you started, or you can use someone else' s custom class as a blueprint.

@sage20500 This can be done. Torann has a custom class mod that provides information on how to design your own custom class, and Netzach Sloth's Dread Lich is an example of a custom class that combines two (Necromancer + Death Knight).

Could you add more classes for the next update? Maybe go crazy and add shadow monarch, and destruction monarch from solo leveling?

Can't wait to take magic to space in 1.6!

Is it possible for a pawn to be able to have more than 1 class or could that potentially be an optional feature offered in a future update? (Secretly hoping to be able to finally have a pawn that is both a Commander and a Sniper)

This error happened a while in my save,doesn't happen on new ones.

I have a backup from hours before but it is better to actually understand what happens and fix the error.It also seems to only absolutely be related to RImworld of Magic

@ParasiticSquid Not to rain on your parade, but that would have to be on Altered Carbon's end of things. They'd need to expand the stack's functionality to keep track of the hundreds of different bits of data a Rimworld of Magic character might have to express their build and development. It's a pain, but using dev mode to spawn all the needed spell scrolls and tome, and god mode to restore the pawn's level, is probably as close as we'll get.

Also, it looks like the next DLC is coming in a couple of days, so everyone's development time will likely be directed to adapting to that for the near future.

Im still multiple years later hoping for compatibility between rimworld of magic and altered carbon so stacks store magic experience and learned spells. Mostly because this mod becomes a massive pain if you play with altered carbon and have a pawn with a stack die since they effectively loose all of their magic progress. Shoot, archeo stacks store psycasts and similar stuff so no reason they couldn't store magic data too.

Maybe one day it will happen, weather that would be innate compat build in to RoM or a patch addon I have no clue but I can dream

NGL, this mod makes me want someone to put Heroes of Might and Magic 3 stuff in this game.

mes colons sont des Magicien nécromancien, mais j'ai pas l'emplacement de Magie du coups je peut pas Upgrade mes compétances en magie c'est normale???

@Sylvoute Do you happen to be using a mod that influences how pawns are generated? I've seen similar situations a few times, and I suspect what happens is that a pawn is generated with a magic trait, and gains all the associated data on creation, and then some mod changes the pawn's trait list, without cleaning up all the data from this mod.

does anyone know why all my mages start "not being allowed to learn magic because of their health condition"???

Thanks for this mod !

When loading a save, my pawns lose their magic skills...

I noticed that, for example, when starting with 10 pawns, 1 or 2 of the mwill have magic skills, but no modded traits. They will lose their skills upon saving reloading.
However, when starting a new game with forced modded trait, the skills (and the trait) will remain.

So, from a few topics I red (because I couldnt properly test the mod), I guess that the problem is my pawns have skill without trait, and that should not occur ?

Thanks !

I have not seen any bugginess with golem windows other than them not saving their work skill disables or their screen shake. You might need to describe the bug, and look to see if any errors pop up in the error log, to help track this down.

Does anyone know of a mod conflict that makes the Golem abilities window to bug out? Also having a similar problem with selecting a xenogerm to implant surgically. Idk if it's related to this mod or not.

You are right, those areas ARE added by this mod, as certain spells and effects make use of them to determine where their effects will occur. However, I appear to be able to add, manage, and use new areas just fine, so it may be yet another mod you have that is clashing.

I do not know if this mod is being actively maintained, but if it is, I note that the Golem Screen Shake has an option to turn off in the mod settings, but this mod setting does not save off properly, and next time you start rimworld, it will be back to all shaky and convincing me something has just catastrophically exploded. Perhaps if it is not easy to get that working right, the default could be no shake ?

Im trying to manage my apparel for my pawns (manage apparel policy) and every time I scroll down to the magic apparel items on your mod, as soon as I head down to the Is the windows goes haywire. I have trace it to the headgear section and the magic apparel sections. Has anyone had this issue before?

@Dragonofelder Yes.

Can a character have a psylink and magic?

Any chance this will update to no longer require outdated dependencies and maybe work with things like the vehicle framework?

Any thoughts on adding more classes?? Maybe make some up..like the shadow monarch from solo leveling? Or idk..more classes?

Is there a re-texture that brings this more in line with vanilla graphics?

@wolflord89 reload save in dev mode. Worked for me.

The mechanical unit triggers an empty reference exception, resulting in a bug where the melee mechanical body cannot attack hostile creatures
This may be due to the mechanical unit DMS_Mech_Ronin22539 trying to learn a skill, but the TorannMagic is not properly handling the non-biological unit (the mechanical unit may not have an effective Pawn or SkillTracker).

@Wolflord89 the same thing is happening with me.

I'm having a strange issue. I started up a new colony, and the a few pawns popped up saying they were magically adept and physically adept. But they have no options over the card at the bottom of the screen for magic or might skill progression. Is this a big that can be easily fixed?

sorry if this is commonly asked but is there a ritual to get the fighter abilities?i only found 1 for the mage based classes

2 things I wish there was.
1. a way to have multiple classes or at least change our class. Basically if we can have multiple classes, then it would let us make arch mages
2. A way to cheat and just add spells to a pawn so we can roleplay as we want.

Is there any reason a Ritual takes way too long to the point where the pawn passes out from malnutrition?

@M11NTY In the mod options, click the Class options button and adjust the sliders.

How would you make it so people with a Magic or Fighter ability spawn very very rarely?

@Arima4
You can have a pawn with two classes, however they need to be one of each type. As in one magic class and one might class. I have only done this with the dev mode add trait or character editor and am unsure if using the mod items would work the same.

can u make a pawns can have more than one role?

Is rimworld of magic compatible if modpack hardcore sk?

Is there any way to make undead pawns to gain skills?

I've got a bug-ish. I have a visiting bladedancer, and they keep phasestriking around and chopping off everyone's appendages. Their own colonists, and mine. I eventually had to destroy them with dev tools, but this ability should probably be non-damaging to allies like it is for your own colony.

@Winter
I have also found that using the dev tools to remove traits and add them also works when i was doing some tests. Sometimes after adding a trait it is necessary to reload for the abilities and skills to work properly. I have been able to get Necromancer Death Knights using this method.
@Dravin
So you might be able to add then remove the druid trait through the Dev mode if you want to keep that pawn/playthrough.

@dravin I'd guess the pawn was initially generated randomly, happened to have the druid trait, and then in the process of being set up the way you wanted, the druid trait was removed and the priest trait was added. There's a bunch of internal data aside from the trait that needs to be set up properly for classes to work, though, so just assigning the desired class trait can lead to results like that.

In general, the safest approach is to give the pawn the Magically Gifted trait, and have them read a book for the class you want them to have. If you're still getting leftover data from another class, try removing the class with a Shard of Spirit Extraction, and then starting fresh.

@Winter Thanks. It took me from Level 65 down to 45, but it worked. Bladedancers level up crazy fast, so not really a big deal.

When i start a new game and setup my pawns, alot of times they will have different classes than the one i gave them. Is there some mod conflict that causes this or some other reason. An example is i gave a pawn the priest class and when they spawned in their bio said priest but they had the abilities of a druid and none of the priest.

are necromancer zombies supposed to lose their germline genes? Made an ogre zombie from big and small races and it loses most of its genes

@Red Wizard I just turned one of my colonists into a bladedancer, and they were able to use a scroll of Gear Repair normally.

You might want to use dev mode to spawn a Shard of Spirit Extraction (listed as TM_Artifact_ClassExtraction in the dev mode spawn menu), a Gem of Physical Insight (GemstoneOfInsight_Might), and a Combat Style: Bladedancer (BookOfBladedancer). Have your bladedancer use them in that order to reset their class. They'll lose their existing experience gained, but should recover most of it by using the Essence of Might that gets spawned. This should reset the internal data this mod uses, and might correct the problem.

I also get this error when he reads it:

My bladedancer can't seem to learn any abilities from scrolls. I am not having any issues with my mages. I only have one Might character, so I'm not sure if it's specific to them, or all Might characters. Anyone else having this issue? Is there a workaround to give the abilities via console or any other way? I've tried with Gear Repair, Strong Back, and Burning Fury. In all cases, he reads the scroll, then nothing happens. Scroll stays put, and he has no new skills.

It'd be great if you could use abilities (such as engineer weapon) on specific items, as using stuff on a shelf is rather problematic. Also to not have to draft a colonist so they can cast an ability on something not in LoS but rather have them pathfind there.
