Thaumcraft 5

Thaumcraft 5 is a continuation of the Thaumcraft 4 mod by Azanor, for Minecraft 1.8. Thaumcraft is based off of the form of magic known as Thaumaturgy. A person who performs Thaumaturgy is called a Thaumaturge. This person is also defined as a person who works wonders and performs miracles using the magical essences inside physical objects.

Thaumonomicon
To start use Thaumcraft 5, a Thaumonomicon is required. To craft the Thaumonomicon, the player must create their first Wand and right click with it on a Bookshelf placed in the world.

The Thaumonomicon is a reference book of all things thaumaturgical. It lists all the discoveries made so far and gives a general impression of how much is left to learn.

Whenever the player successfully research something and uses the scroll, it will automatically be added to the Thaumonomicon. Then the player can browse through the discoveries and click on them to show more detailed information and any crafting recipes associated with those discoveries.
