How to Cut Down Trees in Early Game Ars Nouveau (1.21.1)

Tired of dealing with massive, towering oak trees in early game Ars Nouveau? Good news — there’s a simple spell that lets you fell entire trees in seconds and automatically collect the wood straight into your inventory. Here’s exactly how to set it up and use it.

What You Need Before You Start

Before you can cast this spell, you’ll need to have unlocked the required glyphs through the Imbuement process. This gives you access to the magical essence needed to craft and cast the spell. If you’re not sure how Imbuement works, check out the beginner guide linked in the playlist at the end of this video — it covers everything you need to know to get started.

The Tree-Felling Spell Setup

This spell uses three glyphs combined in the following order to create a powerful, automated tree-cutting tool:

Spell Glyph Order

Projectile — Launches the spell toward your target.

Fell — Instantly chops down the entire tree on impact.

Item Pickup — Automatically collects all harvested wood directly into your inventory.

With these three glyphs set up in this exact order, you’re ready to start clearing trees with a single right-click.

Using the Spell In-Game

Using the spell is as straightforward as it gets. Simply right-click while aiming at a tree and the Fell glyph will instantly take down the entire thing. If a few stray blocks remain, just right-click once more to finish the job cleanly.

Targeting Leaves Works Too

You don’t even need a clear line of sight to the wood itself. You can aim at the leaves of a tree and the spell will still work — as long as you know the trunk is there, the Fell glyph will find it and bring the whole tree down.

How Fast Is It?

Extremely fast. In just a few right-clicks across multiple trees, you can fill your inventory in no time. For example, clearing a small grove of oak trees takes only seconds and nets you 28 oak logs — all collected automatically thanks to the Item Pickup glyph.

Summary

The Projectile → Fell → Item Pickup spell combo in Ars Nouveau 1.21.1 is one of the most efficient early-game tools for gathering wood. It’s quick to set up once you’ve done your Imbuement, easy to use, and saves you a huge amount of time compared to chopping trees by hand. Give it a try and watch your log count skyrocket.
