Eidolon’s Hexblades

Introduction

Hexblades is an add-on to Elucent's Eidolon that focus on enhancing the combat side with few others QoL. 

Since Eidolon is in a very slow development (not dead) but has a lot of planned features, some aspects of Hexblades are still raw and i will be able to refine them only when those features will come.

 As example, Silver is confirmed and will replace gold in hexium recipe, as it was the original one.

I'm accepting suggestions about a default damage balancing and recipes, as the former is configurable with the config file and i feel current recipes can be improved.

That said, let's talk about the mod content, you will find a new tab in the Ars Ecclesia.

You will need to unlock the Soul Sign through Eidolon progression first, then keep praying with the new chant until the Deity will gift you the core of your new magic weapon.

The Hexblades

Heavily inspired by the DnD class, the hexblades are magic weapons related to a deity or sentient that are used by warlocks. As such, these weapons will receive a damage boost while in Awakened state based on the devotion you have proven to the Deity of the Blade, As in base Eidolon, you will have a chant like for the Dark Lord but the two scores are separated (but not the cooldown), plus another random event you may see using them.

The Awakened state can be triggered by right-clicking or pressing the keybind (default H) and will last some seconds. The durability bar will show how much time you've got left and when it goes down to 0 it will deactivate, so no risk of breaking them.

While awakened, the weapons will deal more damage and have additional effects based on their element.

 Each Hexblade can evolve, but you will have to defeat a powerful enemy to get your hands on that power. (currently only vanilla Wither and wip Fire Elemental, more will come )

Misc Additions and other mods compatibilities

Say stop to the boring hand-refilling of cauldrons&co!

The Urn of Endless Waters will check and refill nearby Crucibles, Cauldrons and Botania's Petal Apotecary so you don't have to worry about having infinite water sources anymore, can also refill your empty buckets.Won't interact with pipes and similar tech stuff.

Do you always forget a flint and steel to start the ritual?

The Flame chant will light up campfires and braziers around you on demand, just use the Holy sign three times (Spoiler if you never got it in Eidolon):

Do you miss the old "Nitor under the Crucible" of Thaumcraft, or just want more colors of fire?

This add-on supports: the Ether (and its braziers) from Malum, the Soulfire from DruidCraft and the Spiritfire from Occultism as a heat source for the crucible. 

The ether braziers can also be used as light ornaments for the altar.

Campfires from other mods should also work now (tested on BYG and Endergetic Expansion).

F.A.Q

Q. How can i get another unstable core?

A. Once you get the advanced chant for the nether star, use it on a diamond. Don't abuse it 😛

Q. What is the roadmap of this mod, leaving aside the Eidolon future content?

A. My main goal is making a boss for every element, scrapping the needs for a nether star for the weapon evolution. Between each one maybe more weapons on the checklist. Planned as now : (Armor with runic upgrades, Hexblades for Sanguine Sword, Malum & Omnis and probably Botania)

Q. Can i tweak or disable the recipes?

A. Just like current Eidolon, the special craftings can't be touched outside the code. Crucible and worktable will be tweakable when the next patch will be public, not my fault.

Q. Are the weapon base/extra damage or the devotion scaling adjustable in the config? 

A. The extra damage and other bonuses of the awakened form are adjustable, to balance them as you wish. Base damage will remain fixed.
