I also can't learn anything when I am trying to study magic, it seems. Even when I select other intents, it just defaults to study Higher Mysteries.

Hey @Zarathustra, huge thank you for making this available as a standalone mod after whatever happened with LoV - only just now rediscovered it and it's by far my favourite submod. All the best!

Hey, my charachter with Valyrian Longlevity keeps dying from old age at 98, any fix for that?
JamesS1009 1 Sep @ 1:47pm 
@anarish yeah i've been getting that too. I think its his age being so high but no longer being set to immortal. if so, could that get fixed, love that guy! love the mod!
anarish 28 Aug @ 12:59pm 
Great mod, thank you! The only problem (?) I have is with the Hidden Scholars camp, every time I try to play as the high valyrian mage it immediately kills him. Even when I start playing as a random character, he still dies. Is there any gameplay reason for it? Or is it an incompatibility issue with some other mods I have perhaps?
Fibicklas 22 Aug @ 4:17pm 
Are the Npcs gainng experience on the touched by stars trait on their own or is it just for the player. Insane mod tho
dfoster369 18 Aug @ 7:41pm 
Hey there, I'm curious if there's a way to prevent NPCs from possessing scrolls. Random lords, as well as their courtiers always have the scrolls I need.
Crif 12 Aug @ 2:03pm 
Yeah, my problem was a mid-save related problem, I realized if I didn't have the mod installed like ever I could "bypass" the '- Updates to AGOT dragon system. This requires a new save.' warning.

Guess it didn't happen lol. But anyways, I'll keep my current save without magic sadly. :steamhappy:
jayoquendo2000 12 Aug @ 8:45am 
This mod works pretty good in a new save with LOV and I must say mages are busted I gave 7 family members and a living dragon egg and became immortal best part the egg didn’t break or nothing so I just used more blood magic and brought it back to life and tossed it in the pits 10/10 mods does as advertised
Crif 11 Aug @ 8:20pm 
Strangely all my saves post-adding this mod broke after a couple hours playing with the mod, no clue what happened for real, I'll test further to see what happens, could be the newest AGOT update tbh as I'm also using this with LoV.
Zagreb 2 Aug @ 11:37pm 
@Zarahustra could it be some interactions with the court mage position that somehow would create this weird loop?
It really only happen with Higher mysteries
Dolavien 2 Aug @ 11:12pm 
is there a tutorial?
Zarathustra  [author] 2 Aug @ 7:39pm 
Odd, because I don't create that position in my mod.

In fact, I only reference the position once...
Zagreb 2 Aug @ 1:37am 
@Zarahustra

I doubt it's a load order thing, I have put your mod at the bottom of the playset, so it shouldn't cause problem. Looking at the crash log, there is a reccuring error saying that your mod is trying trying to create a duplicate for the antiquarian position, which lead to a crash eventually.
The problem really began since the last AGOT ( and then LoV) update

[11:21:48][E][court_position.cpp:646]: Attempted to create a duplicate court position of position 'antiquarian_court_position'

I know of the drama bewteen you and LoV, and the end, you owe nothing to anyone, but it's kind of a shame that there is major incompatbilities between 2 mods that are very close.
Jllusion 1 Aug @ 2:47pm 
do you have to be a magical character in order to craft items?
flippinemthebird 1 Aug @ 11:38am 
Is there anyway I can fill up all the bars in the Acolyte trait and learn all the spells through a debug command or something like that?
Zarathustra  [author] 1 Aug @ 9:52am 
That will be a load order problem. Frankly, given that I have a rather poor relationship with the LOV devs, I don't care one way or another what is happening with their mod.
Zagreb 1 Aug @ 1:29am 
It appear the mod really need an update for the recent AGOT and LOV updates, because right now, you can't appoint anyone to the court mage position, and there is a super annoying bug with the travel when you try to do any activity, your character will be sent on the bottom corner of the map
Zagreb 31 Jul @ 11:59pm 
@Nasansoturi

I have secrets at the bottom of my playset, and only use AGOT, AGOT +, the submod core, LOV, dragonpen for sukes and this mod.

This bug isn't really the problem rn, it's more the constant crash. every 5 minutes the game CTD, itb seems it dosen't like when there is an activity running, it's unplayble for the moment. I may try a new game, as LOV just updated, maybe it has fixed this issue idk
Zagreb 31 Jul @ 11:54pm 
@Ankou

Blood sacrifice activities, kill one of your prisoners for drops of power ( it seems you get more if the target is noble, and you definitly get more if you have magic adepts participating in the activities)

Your court mages can also generate drops of power, and lastly, once you get the "touched by the stars" perks, you will get a passive +1 drop of power income
Ankou 31 Jul @ 9:14pm 
What are ways you can actually gain drops of power without using console commands? That's the only thing I'm unclear on now
Nasansoturi 28 Jul @ 1:23am 
@Zagreb
For me atleast I can choose other ones to learn aswell, so maybe a loadorder or submod conflict for u?. For example this mod is below Legacy of Valyria in my playset. or maybe there is some other requirement?
Zagreb 23 Jul @ 1:09am 
angelbread22 Wait until you get the Kinslayer trait because you sacrifice on of your kids by mistake in a ritual (I jailed him because of the stupid spying pop up I didin't pay much attention to)

When your spell misfire, it can have some nasty effects too, best case you just wasted your mana, worse, you can get a mutation ( bad traits) like hunchback, bleeder, or it can downgrade on your traits, I had a ruler that got from genius to quick like that :/ I think you can get killed too if you're really bad at magic ( level in higher mysteries I guess?)
Zagreb 23 Jul @ 1:05am 
Sorry for bothering again, there is still some things I don't fully understand,

When I go for the study magic activity, I cannot pick anything else than "Higher mysteries", if I try to select a specific school of magic, the activity is greyed out (cannot launch), is this a bug on my part?

It would be nice to be able to concentrate on a specific school of magic for your mage instead of the pure RNG.
Concerning the blood magic spells, some effects aren't very clear in the description, like the enhanced blood (cost 1) does it add some points to skills randomly?
With the specific skills enhancements, I use to cast it on my kids, but in the notifications, it say that I get the improved skill, not my kid.

Last thing, I don't konw if it's possible, but maybe adding a cap on many people can take part in the blood sacrifice activity could be good, because if you get like 20 peoples participating the game will crash because of all the notifications in the event window for each participant.
Zagreb 21 Jul @ 5:26am 
@zarathustra Oh sorry, didn't knew about that :/
angelbread22 20 Jul @ 5:59pm 
Hello! I was wondering if there's something like a passive learning from your mage master for apprentices. Or passive teaching, I suppose. It also might be useful to have a "study all" button as sometimes it can be really tedious to teach each mystery or scroll individually. And there doesn't seem to be a downside to learning magic.
flippinemthebird 20 Jul @ 3:55pm 
Hi, is there anywhere I can report bugs? I have a problem where my game crashes around the end of the "Your Magical Studies" activity.
Zarathustra  [author] 20 Jul @ 2:57am 
Given the rather acrimonious seperation between myself and LOV, (I was their coding lead, and project manager) the mechanics I had begun to write for Asshai magic sadly won't ever see the light of day.
Zagreb 20 Jul @ 1:29am 
Sorry my bad for Asshai, so this place is from LoV alone?

It would have been super cool to be able to study magic there (as the place is pretty useless currently)
Zarathustra  [author] 19 Jul @ 11:31am 
This mod has 0 to do with Asshai. It only is built against the AGOT base mod.
Zarathustra  [author] 19 Jul @ 11:31am 
NPC's will only use appropriate magic. IN time I will let them use more in the combat system, and to fight dragons. But doing more than that is a real limit with the AI.

There are many features of CK3 that the AI simply cannot use.
Zagreb 19 Jul @ 7:10am 
Hi thanks for this amazing mod, little question i cannot find any answer for :

Is it possible to learn and do magic in Asshai? When i play as Elyria, there no POI there to study magic, is it only avaible if you have enough diplo range? or do you have to play as Asshai to be able to study there?

last question, when I do magic studies, I can only select higher mystery, and never a specific magic school is it intended?
LoLYeah16 19 Jul @ 5:46am 
thanks for making such a cool mod, but it seems that very little, if any npc ever has the acolyte trait or uses magic at all. It sort of makes using magic feel like cheating. Am I just doing the mod wrong or...
swboy2021 18 Jul @ 12:12pm 
Really miss that system
swboy2021 18 Jul @ 12:11pm 
Is this like the magic system that used to be in LOV?
Zarathustra  [author] 18 Jul @ 3:08am 
Magic can be found in several pre-set locations around the world. Look for the little burning book icon and the POI on the map. When you find a magic scroll it will unlock the magic window on the left side of the screen from where you can manage the learning of magic.
Zagreb 18 Jul @ 2:39am 
Hi, first, thanks for this mod, it looks very intresting and complete! I have a few questions, I'm completly lost on how to get to learn magic, I understood that i should visit the ruins in Valyria, but when i do a pilgrimage, it dosen't show me the magic book icons, only the regular vailla pilgrimage icons for holy sites
Zarathustra  [author] 17 Jul @ 2:02pm 
Hey Tarkain, just send me a message on Discord and I will make it easier to manage this. I just got back to AU after spending 3 months in France, and enjoyed myself thoroughly.
Tarkain 17 Jul @ 1:49pm 
If needed, here is the link to the French translation mod—please consider adding it so that French-speaking players can find it easily

Tarkain 17 Jul @ 1:48pm 
Hello Zarat, would it be possible for you to include the artifact crafting panel and the scroll study/scroll crafting panels in the language files so I can translate them? Even if they're "easy" to understand, people are asking for more simplicity. Thanks in advance
Zarathustra  [author] 8 Jul @ 2:40am 
So new UI features next update, the removal of the magic interaction and the addition of several new UI features.

If you use my Province Window Mod, you will be able to target provinces/counties in magic casting directly from the province view window.

Otherwise, you can target a character from the outliner, or from a new button on the top of the interaction window.

This means there is no confirmation window for casting mysteries as that is all done in the mystery window. It also means there has been some clean up of windows when you begin the process of casting a mystery.
Zarathustra  [author] 6 Jul @ 4:24am 
Pushed the promised update. Expect more loc and changes next week after the inevitable AGOT update.
Zarathustra  [author] 6 Jul @ 3:18am 
It will be coming later tonight. I expect that I have missed some localisation and other little bits, but the code is stable and I have reduced the number of errors in my log to around 50 or so loc related issues.
flippinemthebird 6 Jul @ 2:50am 
Can't wait for the update!
prdanitvtv 5 Jul @ 12:16pm 
Is there an option to make money extremely fast?
Zarathustra  [author] 5 Jul @ 1:42am 
You learn magic by finding a magic scroll.
