Theurgy FAQ

Craft a book with two blocks of sand to obtain The Hermetica, the mod's guidebook. Read it to learn the fundamentals of alchemy and see what recipes and equipment you can craft next.

Principles are the fundamental components of matter in alchemy. Use alchemical processing equipment to extract Principles from raw materials, breaking them down into their Sulfur, Salt, and Mercury components.

After extracting Principles, use your alchemical equipment to recombine them in different proportions to create refined or entirely new materials. The Hermetica will show you which combinations produce which results.
