Glass Phial (Thaumcraft 4)

''"... their most important use to a thaumaturge is their ability to hold Essentia." - Azanor''

The Glass Phial is a small and simple container for Essentia. It is only capable of holding 8 units of essentia at a time—no more, no less. Upon emptying the container into a Warded Jar or similar accepting receptacle of Essentia the phial is returned to you.

Usage
Phials can accept 8 units of any Essentia. Hovering the cursor over the filled phial will yield the Essentia it contains and the quantity in its tool tip unless the Aspect has not been discovered by scanning or combining aspects, in which case it will say "Unknown Aspect".

Right clicking upon a Warded Jar or similar with a filled Phial will empty it's contents into that jar. Essentia cannot be mixed and must match the contents of both Jar and Phial unless the Jar or similar is empty.

Right clicking upon a Warded Jar or similar with an empty Phial will fill the phial with the Jar's contents.

Right clicking upon an Arcane Alembic containing Essentia with an empty Phial will fill the Phial with the Alembic's contents. You cannot reverse this.

Throwing a filled phial into a boiling Crucible will fill the Crucible with eight units of Essentia the phial held, making it an excellent means of crafting with Alchemy. This will not return your phial.
