Mediaworks is a Hex Casting addon that adds exciting new utilities.
Please note. Development for this addon has been halted indefinitely. However, you have my permission to create forks of this addon if you wish. Keep an eye out on the Hex Casting discord as there is at least one person already working on porting this mod to 1.20.1 under a different name.
We may return to get Mediaworks WORK-ing again, heh. If we do, you can be sure it will be on the most up to date version of Minecraft supported by Hex Casting.
Some noteworthy things to look forward to...
Astral Projection
A new great spell capable of separating the mind from the body. Your immaterial projection can pass through solids, but cannot interact with blocks. But clever mages may find other ways to affect the environment...

Macula Etching
The beginnings of a rudimentary display can be etched into your eyes. Display any iotas anywhere on the screen. Set their duration or leave them etched into your eyes permanently. Installing MoreIotas will allow you to add custom text to your Macula and also allow you to color text.

Featherweave Cloak
A powerful new garment hidden deep underground. This cloak's threads have the power to hold information, allowing you to read and write iotas to their cloth. But that's not all, new vanilla enchantments can be applied to a cloak to absorb damage, increase your ambit, and even trigger the stored iota upon taking damage. Cloaks are also dyeable in the same way leather armor is. The possibilities are endless!

Some new tweaks and other miscellaneous features!
- A pattern which returns the amount of media available to the cast.
- Changes to media withdrawal logic for casts.
- Wearing a scrying lens on the head or in a Trinket or Curios slot now grants a bigger casting grid.

### Changes
- Make Locale Magnification and Media Shield enchantments scale beyond the standard max level, in spirit of compatibility with mods that allow overenchanting (suggested by anna-s-h).
- Improve Reciprocation loop behaviour. If the Reciprocation enchantment causes a loop where lack of media causes overcasting damage and overcasting damage causes further reciprocation, the loop now fizzles out after 50 repetitions. This should still kill the player if the loop is capable of doing so in the first place, and in other cases (e.g. some kind of non-invulnerability damage negation) this avoids a crash (crash reported by walksanatora).
