Iron Capped Wooden Wand (Thaumcraft 4)

''"The casting wand is your most basic, but also your most important tool." - Azanor''

The Iron Capped Wooden Wand is the Thaumaturge's first ever wand. It is made by combining two iron caps (made with 5 Iron Nuggets or Oreberries each) with a stick in a mundane crafting method. It does not require vis or any special method to create, nor do it's components.

It is the weakest of all wands that the aspiring Thaumaturge will come across with the very limited vis pool of 150 vis at 25 vis per aspect. These aspects, unlike other wands the Thaumaturge will likely come across will not regenerate over time unless the wand is used to tap a node as normal.

(Note) This discovery is unlocked upon spawn and does not require research to enable the recipe.

Usage


Right clicking upon an Aura Node with this Wand in hand will tap primal aspect vis into the Wand's Storage until full.

When holding the Wand, a gauge will appear in the top left of the player's window (by default) which shows how much Vis the wand currently holds. Holding Shift with the wand will show a rounded number of each Vis Aspect that the Wand holds.

The Wand is used in Arcane Crafting with the use of the Arcane Workbench to imbue crafting recipes with aspects that the Wand has stored.

The Wand is used to create a Thaumonomicon by right clicking a Bookcase with the wand in hand. This does not require Vis.

The Wand is used to create a Crucible by right clicking a Cauldron with the wand in hand. This does not require Vis.

The Wand is used in the activation of a Mystical Construct such as the Infernal Furnace or the Infusion Altar, the vis required depends on the structure and may require a wand with larger vis capacity.

The Wand can be used to empty the contents of a Crucible by right clicking on it with wand in hand. This may cause adverse effects including but not limited to; Flux Spillage, Flux Gas release or even the spawning of Tainted Slime which is a good source of Tainted Goo.

The Wand can be used to activate Infusion Crafting by right clicking the Runic Matrix with wand in hand.
