Following the Mistlands update, magic weapons, foods, and armor all became available in Valheim. With the use of Eitr gained from ingredients in the new Mistlands biome, the power of the elements is in your hands. To use the weapons and armor, a new bar becomes available — similar to the stamina bar. Certain foods boost this bar allowing for bigger and more sustained attacks. Knowing the best recipes for magic buffs in Valheim will have you arriving at Hogwarts rather than Valhalla.
The best recipes for magic in Valheim
There’s no doubt that magic is a late-game element. It’s unlikely that you will have access to any of these recipes, ingredients, or equipment until you have made your way deep into the Mistlands. A level 5 Cauldron and Stone Oven will be the very basics of what’s needed to prepare the recipes, and that’s before you have even attempted to do the treacherous grocery shopping.

- Magecap (900 Seconds) – 25 Eitr. Simply grab these mushrooms from the Mistlands and munch away, never mind the pink elephants.
- Stuffed Mushrooms (1,500 Seconds) – 75 Eitr. 3x Magecap, 1x Bloodclot, and 2x Turnips crank the original mushroom up three times more potent than before.
- Yggdrasil Porridge (1,500 Seconds) – 80 Eitr. 4x Sap, 3x Barley, and 2x Royal jelly are combined in a level 5 Cauldron for this appetizing magic porridge.
- Seeker Aspic (1,800 Seconds) – 85 Eitr. 2x Seeker Meat, 2x Magecaps, and 2x Royal Jelly. Apparently, this quivering dish tastes a little like electricity. Sounds healthy.
How to harness the power of the supernatural in Valheim

Before you start using magic, you’re going to need to actually be able to build magic weapons. The process isn’t a quick one and is a whole new challenge unto itself. A number of different tools, workbenches, and ingredients will be required before you can use your Eitr to rule the afterlife.
Sap must be extracted from a Yggdrasil Root using a Dvergr Extractor, this in turn is refined using an Eitr Refinery. This is used to craft a Galdr Table which then unlocks four new weapons and a new set of armor. The process seems long and arduous, but it is well worth it in the end. The ranged magic attacks provide a huge advantage.
