Runic Altar

The Runic Altar is a unique block featured in Botania. It allows the player to create Runes, using Mana to do so. It has a unique design, when placed, 2 cubes can be seen swirling around on the altar.

To create a Rune, certain items must be placed onto the altar (in any order).

Items can be placed onto it by either:
 * Right-clicking whilst holding the item.
 * Throwing the item on by pressing 'Q' over the altar.

When items are thrown or placed onto it, it shall be consumed by the altar and will orbit it similar to the cubes orbiting it. Shift-right-clicking the Runic Altar with an empty hand shall return the last item place onto it back into the players inventory. Do note that the items cannot be retrieved after the altar has been activated (when the altar has been right-clicked with a Wand of the Forest). Right-clicking the altar with a Wand of the Forest will activate the altar, allowing it to consume Mana. A Mana Spreader (including the Redstone Mana Spreader and the Elven Mana Spreader) supplied with a Mana source must be directed at the altar to give it Mana.



When the altar has consumed enough Mana, it shall produce sparks, when it does this, the player can right-click the altar with the Wand of the Forest to create the Rune. Livingrock must be added before or after the altar as enough Mana, and it is a required part of Rune creating.

When a Rune has been created, the items orbiting the altar shall disappear and the Rune shall appear, ready to be collected.

Trivia

 * To tell if the Runic Altar has been activated, the player can shift-right-click with an empty hand, if nothing happens, it is activated.


 * The Runic Altar may take a while to consume enough Mana to create the Rune, so do not be deceived if nothing is happening when you have followed all of the above. Giving it enough time or directing more Mana at it shall eventually make it work.
