About
Ars Magica 2 adds a magic-focused progression built around creating and casting spells, developing magical skills, and taking on bosses. Its spell-creation system combines components, modifiers, and shapes to make custom effects, including star strikes, fire rain, blizzards, mana links, and spells that alter the time of day. Casting offers distinct forms such as beams, projectiles, areas, zones, and walls, while affinities influence spell effects and are shown with depth and advantages or disadvantages in the interface. Players can discover especially powerful Silver skills by experimenting with combinations of components and modifiers from the same skill tree; these skills have high mana costs and special casting restrictions. The Arcane Compendium guides players through the mod’s blocks, items, structures, and bosses, and its entries can unlock as players encounter new content. World content includes Witchwood Forests with witchwood trees, magical-biome lakes of Liquid Essence, Tarma roots, and Moonstone meteors. Sigil Stands support up to three sigils, can be controlled with redstone, and gain upgrades from rings around the stand; sigils can automate tasks such as cutting trees, growing crops, hydrating soil, managing animals, creating barriers, lighting an area, and attracting Moonstone meteors. Other practical additions include a Magic Broom that gathers nearby items into an assigned chest, a Magician’s Workbench that remembers recent recipes and has multiple crafting grids, and Everstone, which regenerates after being broken and can mimic many ordinary blocks. Boss rewards include specialized equipment such as Winter’s Grasp, Arcane Spellbook, Fire Antenna, Earth Armor, Water Orbs, and the rideable Air Sled.

Warning: a web address (qorconcept.com) is encoded in its code, so it cannot be read in the file
It has no file for a recent Minecraft version. This is about its files for Minecraft 1.7.10 to 1.10.2.
We found this in its code, read without running it.
A Warning is not proof of malware. The download stays available.
This lowers its grade: −3 points, B at most.

What it can do on your computer
- Hides a web addressWarning
- A web address (qorconcept.com) is encoded in its code, so it cannot be read in the file.
- Connects to the internet
- It has code that can go online. It contacts 2 web addresses. See Privacy
Why we show this: a mod runs on your computer like any program, so harmful code in it can take your accounts or files. Our checks look for known signs of harm. They cannot prove that a file is harmless. In the grade: malware means no grade, and a Warning in a latest file for a recent Minecraft version lowers it.
How we checked
- FilesWe download the files from Modrinth or CurseForge and look at what is inside them and what their code can do, without running them. Fixed rules tell what is harmful.2 latest files: the newest file for each Minecraft version and loader. None is for a recent Minecraft version, so the answer above is about all of them. Recent versions: those released in the last 2 years, plus 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, among the most played in modpacks. See each file in Releases
- Their codeWe turn the code of the files back into readable code and follow what it does, without running it. This shows what it downloads, what it sends and where your login goes.Read without running it
- Looked for, not foundWe looked for these in the file and did not find them.Folders outside the game, other programs, updating itself, the webcam or microphone, an AI service.

Sends unknown data
It has no file for a recent Minecraft version. This is about its files for Minecraft 1.7.10 to 1.10.2.
Sent to qorconcept.com, www.seventhsanctum.com and arcanacraft.qorconcept.com.
We found this in its code, read without running it.
Why we show this: a mod can send things about you over the internet, like your player name or your login. Contacting an address to check for updates or download files sends nothing about you. Not in the grade: sending data can be normal for what a mod does.
How we checked
- Files readWe read the code without running it. We list each web address the code contacts while you play, and what it sends. Code that is never used is left out.The code of both files, for Minecraft 1.7.10 to 1.10.2. See each file in Releases

AI
No sign so far that AI was used to make it
We looked for AI tools in its description, files, images and sounds and found none.
We have not read its changelogs yet.
No sign of AI in the game
We found no AI service, AI library or AI model file in its code.
Why we show this: some players and servers avoid projects made with AI, and AI in the game can send what you write to an online service. Not in the grade: using AI does not tell whether a project works well or is kept up to date.
How we checked
- Author on ModrinthThe disclosure form on Modrinth. Since 13 Aug 2026, Modrinth's rules require it when a substantial part of the code is AI output, when an asset is mainly AI output, or when the project or its page relies on generative AI.Not on Modrinth.
