Thaumcraft Alchemy and Essentia Handling

Alchemy turns items into usable magical materials. The Crucible distills items dropped into boiling water down into liquid essentia, while the Arcane Alembic captures and processes the resulting aspects. From these, players produce items such as Nitor (a magical light source) and various salts and potions.

Essentia is then moved and stored through a transport network:

• Essentia Tubes carry essentia between blocks, with directional, filtered, and restricted variants for control.
• Warded Jars and Void Jars store essentia, the void variant voiding overflow.
• Essentia Buffer, Valve, and Centrifuge store, regulate, and separate essentia.
• Essentia Transfuser fills and empties essentia containers.
• Essentia Smeltery variants smelt items in bulk into essentia.

This network lets players automate the supply of specific aspects to their alchemy and infusion setups.
