Makan introduces a magic system that uses writing kanji to cast spells. Using a character recognition system and the Grimoire, the player gets to practice brushstrokes and learn what kanji mean by manifesting their meanings as structures, attacks, entities, etc. The mod currently has about 40 spells, ranging from the ability to shoot fire, summon mountains, generate utility structures like bridges and houses, use telekinesis, and even fight Godzilla. The progression is really fast and players can begin practicing kanji and casting spells almost immediately. The mod is also very customizable, allowing players to configure each spell. Requires Geckolib!
