Spells

The magic system in Moonlight Peaks is wand-based and mana-gated. Each spell costs a fixed amount of mana to cast, and your mana pool determines how many spells you can cast per night. The base wand allows basic spellcasting; the Witch's Wand upgrade (5000g) unlocks Aquaflux II and increases spell efficiency. Mana can be expanded by building the Mana Extractor (3 Copper Bars + 3 Iron Bars, brought to Sabrina). Spell priority matters early: Aquaflux for farming is essential, while Tomorrow's Tears (10000g) is a late-game luxury that skips time forward.

Spells automate tedious tasks — Aquaflux waters dozens of crops instantly, and Mindless Miner Tonic auto-mines for you. The wand quest is free and unlocks early (Night 18), giving access to magic with no gold cost. Mana can be expanded multiple times, making spell-heavy playstyles viable by mid-game. Tomorrow's Tears lets you skip nights, useful for waiting out Keg processing or crop growth. Mind's Eye reveals hidden items, boosting exploration efficiency.

The wand quest gate at Night 18 means no magic before that point — you must farm manually early on. Mana is a hard limit: running out mid-task wastes a night. The Witch's Wand costs 5000g, a significant early-game investment. Tomorrow's Tears (10000g) is extremely expensive for what it does — only worth it in late-game. Each spell must be purchased individually from shops, requiring substantial gold investment to build a full spell repertoire.
