Patina is a mod split into Two halves: Arcana and Machina. Arcana includes alchemy and enchanting, while Arcana covers metalurgy and redstone. These two synergize to create an expansive, vanilla-esque progression, including a research system that builds off advancements. Besides general tools and armor, there are Fragment weapons, tools, and armor, which can only be obtained by combining 4 pieces found through specific means. This mod is heavily inspired by Thaumcraft 4 and Industrialcraft
