The Dark Mage's Tome is a mount-summoning item that places the player on a Book Mount similar to the one ridden by the Dark Mage during the Old One's Army event. The Dark Mage's Tome has a 1/4 (25%) chance of being dropped by the Dark Mage in Master Mode.

The mount allows a player to hover and glide at a fixed height of 8 tiles high in mid-air for 5 seconds following a jump or walking off a ledge. It otherwise glides along the ground, and automatically climbs ledges that are no more than 1-tile-high. Whether on the ground or hovering, its top speed is 41 mph. The Book Mount also cancels fall damage.

Extra jump accessories can be used during hover, increasing the max hover height. The height is also adjustable in the down direction by pressing ▼ Down.

Notes

  • The hover will not work when mounting mid air. The mount can only hover if the player leaves the ground when already mounted.
  • This mount has unusual interaction with platforms and other non-block surfaces like flat-surface items.
    • When mounted, the player will fall through flat-surface items after jumping and/or hovering and/or getting knockbacked in the air, even if they started the jump/hover on such a surface.
    • The player cannot use stairs while mounted, they will go through up-going stairs and hover above down-going stairs.
    • When Water Walking Boots or its upgrades is equipped, the mount can still only glide for 5 seconds on liquid surfaces before falling, and it cannot land on liquid surfaces when falling: the player will sink into the liquid instead.

Tips

  • The hover time will not be consumed when gliding on the ground, meaning that the player can glide infinitely as long as they are on the ground. This can be used for quicker traveling, as the top speed of the mount is higher than that of the Lightning Boots or its upgrades (41 mph vs. 34 mph).
  • For a pre-hardmode arena it would be better to use other mounts like Fuzzy Carrot, Golf Cart Keys, Saddles for horizontal mobility or Slimy Saddle for vertical mobility.
