About this mod Author’s original text
Sun Beam Mod
A custom spell mod for Mage Arena that summons a powerful pillar of fire from the sky.
Spell Effects
- Summons a large pillar of fire that deals 25 damage per second to all players within its area.
- The beam slowly expands over its duration, increasing its effective range.
- Features a dynamic visual effect with sound, rotation, and fade-out.
Requirements
- BepInEx: Required modding framework (version 5.4.21.0 or later).
- ModSync: Essential for multiplayer compatibility. Recommended for all players, though only the host needs it for the mod to function.
- BlackMagicAPI: The API for adding custom spells. Developed by [@D1GQ]
Installation
- Ensure BepInEx is installed in your Mage Arena game directory.
- Install ModSync and BlackMagicAPI if not already present, following their respective instructions.
- Install the Sun Beam Mod.
In-Game Details
- Spell Type: Page (lootable from chests, pots, etc.; spawns randomly).
- Name: "Solar Beam" (standardized name).
- Cooldown: 25 seconds.
- Behavior: Casts a fiery pillar that expands, rotates, and fades, dealing damage to all players inside, including the caster (friendly fire enabled).
Changelog
- Version 1.0.1 + 1.0.2:
-Fixed errors loading the spell ingame (sound and textures)
- Version 1.0.0 (Released):
- Initial release with core functionality: summoning a damaging, expanding fire pillar.
- Added sound, visual effects, and multiplayer compatibility via ModSync.
Known Issues
- The beam may be hard to see from inside due to one-sided textures; a ground fog effect helps visibility.
- Ensure all required mods are updated to avoid compatibility issues.
Troubleshooting
- Spell Not Appearing: Verify BlackMagicAPI and ModSync are installed and updated.
- No Damage: Check that the host has the mod active and players are within the beam's radius.
- Visual Glitches: Ensure SunBeam_BeamTexture.png is in BepInEx/plugins/SunBeamMod/Sprites.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- Most mods rely on the game's mod loader — the usual route is a community mod manager (such as r2modman): pick this game, install, and it handles the loader and dependencies.
- For a manual install, put the mod files into the matching Mod / plugins folder inside the game directory.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; mods with listed dependencies need those installed as well.
Install locations vary a lot between mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
