A rare magic crystal said to be able to imbue items with arcane abilities. These paragons are so powerful they even cause the earth itself to defy gravity and raise into the air. They also infuse the soil so special plants grow from the earth.
Mining it will give you an Empyrium Paragon.
Prometheum
[pro-MEE-thee-uhm]
Spoiler:
A volatile fuel used in a Prometheus Chamber. It can be found in the regular world but it's more common in the Nether.
When mined it drops Prometheum Embers.
Adamantium
[ad-uh-MANT-ee-uhm]
Spoiler:
This metal is the hardest material in existence. It's also the only metal capable of being enhanced with an Empyrium Paragon. A regular furnace doesn't get hot enough to smelt it. It must be smelted in a Prometheus Chamber. The metal is so hard it can only be smelted with Prometheum. When smelted it returns an Adamantium Ingot.
Trace-Stone
[TREYS-stohn]
Spoiler:
Some stone has trace amounts of other ores in it. Normally the amounts are too small to be detected let alone extracted. Through the wonders of the Prometheus Chamber these ores will no longer go to waste.
This is the only machine capable of harnessing the power of Prometheum and the only thing that gets hot enough to smelt Adamantium. It's able to smelt items slightly faster than a regular furnace and is able to extract ores from Trace Stone.
Here's a shot of the Prometheus Chamber GUI in action. There are 10 output slots for the different material returned from Trace-Stone.
The recipe:
I recognize the gold and obsidian but what's that thing in the middle you say? Well glad you asked!
Empyrium Core
Spoiler:
This is needed to craft a Prometheus Chamber. This is a very powerful and volatile item and great care must be taken with it. Throwing it can have catastrophic consequences. However, since it doesn't destroy ores it can be a very valuable mining tool in the proper hands.
These are places where Empyrium is concentrated to the point the earth has risen into the air. This is also the only place Glimmerwood trees grow naturally though the saplings can be planted anywhere regular trees would grow.
Empyrium can be very difficult to find. Fortunately these flowers grow anywhere there's a high concentration of Empyrium. Look for the flower and you're sure to find the prize.
This flower can also be burned in the Prometheus Chamber to repair any items made with Adamantium or Glimmerwood. This is very useful since an item must be at 100% in order to be upgraded.
Future plans: This flower will repel mobs so they can be planted outside your base as protection.
This is one of the only tools worthy of being crafted in Adamantium. All other tools are considered too mundane to use an ore as precious as Adamantium on.
Mining Speed: Same as gold.
Durability: 1600 uses.
It's crafted with Adamantium Ingots and Glimmerwood sticks
The recipe:

Caleb, you might want to edit the copyright section of the OP, since atm it is referring to Herblore and not this mod
Question: will the prometheum and adamantium ores be interchangeable with those same ores from Metallurgy? If not, could you plan to make it so? Metallurgy is a staple in any mod-loadout I use, and I tend to shut off duplicate ores in other mods to avoid having different types of the same ore in the game. I'm guessing it is, since it uses forge and that's supposed to be what the ore dictionary is supposed to be for, but I'm not 100% clear on all that. If they are interchangeable, would you recommend leaving the ores in this mod active and turning them off in Metallurgy instead, considering you may have special conditions in which those ores may spawn?
Tell you what, I don't have a magic version of MC done up yet, but this mod & the release of AltriaCraft (Swords+) are making me want to get it started.....
Ya finally got it up, nice. Did you answer my last question from the last thread?
I believe I did?
Cant remember, go check!

Sorry about that, I was in 'rush mode'
I did have the ores registered in the ore dictionary but later removed it, I didnt think any other mods used these ores.
But if metallurgy has them I probably should add it back in.
I would suggest blocking the metallurgy mod from spawning their version of the ore if possible though, because the rareness of the ores in this mod is crucial for balance.
I used to have a magically modded minecraft, was heaps of fun!

Thanks for taking up the mantle Caleb! I'm glad people are still enjoying the mod.
should add some kind of boss in a dungeon or something thats only found on or in the floating islands, that'd be really cool, should make it pretty tough, i like a challenge haha and maybe also another mob thats a bit strong so it can put up with these weapons and armor and it spawns in both the normal world and nether but needs to be a little uncommon, so you dont get killed every 2 minutes when you only got iron armor and tools or something at that moment
anyways, just a suggestion, might give you some different ideas. keep up the great work

That would be pretty nice!
I'd like to play around with an arcane dimension too, which can only be entered when wearing full tier 3 ascendant armour maybe... NOT SURE!
Some stronger mobs would make it more interesting.
It would be cool having a sense of danger even when wearing iron or diamond armour, to make you take the long route or make your way around it. At the moment, once you have armour nothings worrying!
Would it be possible to add an option do disable floating islands, or limit the number that appears? They're kind of laggy due to the lightning bug shadows.

i think ill try it
