Shovel of the Earthmover (Thaumcraft 3)

"By combining a wand of excavation with a thaumium shovel you have created a peerless digging implement."

The Shovel of the Earthmover is an elemental tool added by Thaumcraft 3. It has similar digging speed and durability to the vanilla Diamond Sword however when used to dig up soft terrain material (dirt, gravel, etc) it will dig in a 3x3 area around the target block vertically or horizonally depending on the face that was dug up.

The Shovel of the Earthmover can also build a horizontal 3x3 square when right clicking on the target block. The shovel uses the same material as the targetted block to build and will use said blocks from your inventory to do so.

Sneaking while digging will cause the shovel to act as a normal shovel, digging a single block at a time.

(Note) You have to research the Wand of Excavation before you can unlock the ability to research the Shovel of the Earthmover.

Recipe
This crafting recipe takes place in an Infusion Altar, not a crafting bench.

Requires 100 vis.

Usage
Digs a 3x3 area horizontally or vertically depending on the face of the targetted block. Will cost durability depending on the blocks dug up around the gargetted block (3x3 square will cost 8 durability)

Right Clicking a targetted block will construct a horizontal 3x3 square of that same block using blocks from your inventory. Costs durability depending on how many blocks are placed. (9 blocks placed will cost 9 durability)

Sneaking while digging causes the shovel to act normally with no special qualities.

Shovel holds enchantments well as a Thaumium tool.
