Stardew Valley Becomes Even More Whimsical With This Expansive Magic System

screenrant.com:

is already a place filled with magic and wonder but this new mod allows players to harness that mystic energy for themselves. Despite farming being the core mechanic in ConcernedApe's monolithic indie hit, Pelican Town is anything but a normal sleepy seaside village. Even if it's not obvious, magic is everywhere to be found and if the Farmer knows where to look, they'll be blessed with a bounty of spells that will make growing a sizable harvest easier than ever before.

Uploaded to Nexus Mods by creator Neosinf, the «Magic by Neosinf» adds a collection of Druid-themed spells to that are both wonderous in their execution and terrifying in their power. Classified as ancient Rites, these abilities will allow players to get in touch with the natural order and perform miracles like speeding up the rate at which their crops grow or even bringing down meteors from above. Farmers will particularly enjoy Rite of Weald which adds trees and grass to barren spaces, enhances plant growth, and destroys weeds, twigs, and even ore deposits in the mines.

Stardew Valley has some pretty creepy easter eggs in the game, hinting at the scary features Haunted Chocolatier could offer players.

While Farmers will likely sing the praises of any mod that increases the growth rate of their crops, those players looking for some more explosion spells are also in luck. TheRite of Mists extracts the power of totem shrines, scarecrows, rods, and campfires to both smite any object but also yield some high-value fishing spots, perfect for a relaxing afternoon after a morning in the mines. Alternatively, those looking for some company can use the Rite of Bones to call forth a group of crows to act as familiars and provide assistance where they can.

Yet arguably the best spell included in «Magic by Neosinf» is undoubtedly Rite of Ether which, very simply, allows the Farmer to transform into a dragon. This powerful beast is a demonstration of might and should make even the deadly Skull Cavern
