hah, thats kind of cool. and yes, thats his skin.
i like the details, like the primal staff and the thaumonomicon.
Hey, thanks! I was going to put the goggles of revealing on him but his glasses looked better.
And Since you like that, take a look at my new, and improved Infusion Altar:
Can you make a way to make it easier to increase the aspect capacity of nodes through the node modifier more quickly? Because I'm making one that will have a max capacity of 251 for recharging my Primal Staff, but It's going to take me forever to finish it since I'll need around 520 Auram Ethereal Aspects for it and it takes so long.
There's a problem with the mod, the statues won't keep the skin you set it to after signing off and going back onto the same world, they just revert to Steve.
Utilizing BiblioCraft, This mod, Carpenter's Blocks, and Ars Magica 2, I made a nice dinner table in my Norman City Estate. Take a look:
Looks nice, huh? On the dinner plates I have the Millenaire food for all 5 Cultures set up like how I would think their Dinner would probably look like.
I came up with an idea for the Node Modifier. Why not make it possible to create a node from Scratch? You can just place a specialized Warded Jar onto it and then you can use essentia and ethereal essence to bring a node into existence. Of course you could make it so that the node starts off pale and very weak,like at only 5 or so of the aspect you chose. Give it some thought.
Hey did anyone see my new Spell casting Shape idea? If not, I'll repost it here (I added a little to it too):
"I got an idea for a new casting shape from a game I played. Weapon Enchant. It works like touch except your weapon gets the effect. To balance it out, it only lasts for a little while or only for a few strikes. The amount of time or strikes will of course depend on what modifiers were used in making the spell and also the casting mode used."
Ok since no one seems to want to download the book I wrote on MC. I'll just Paste it here for you to enjoy!
Legend of Thaumcraft
Long, long ago, during the Advent of Thaumaturgy, the Great Thaumaturge Azanor reigned supreme over our world.
His research created an era of Peace and Prosperity where death from sickness was a myth and monster attacks were a rare occurrence. Everyone was a Thaumaturge and Azanor even created a school for aspiring Thaumaturges.
All aspects of Thaumaturgy were open to the public. Well, almost all... For their own saftey, Azanor made everyone believe that he had revealed all of his research to them, when in fact he kept the dark, sinister knowledge of Thaumaturgy.
This "Forbidden Knowledge" so powerful, so dangerous, so frightening that even he was scared of the idea of it getting into the wrong hands. That very knowledge had the power to destroy the world.
He did try to destroy the documents that the knowledge was on but the evil it contained prevented its destruction. He tried everything he could to destroy it but even as the Most Powerful Thaumaturge in existance, even he couldn't so much as damage them.
So he decided to lock it away into his vault that had every kind of ward possible on it to prevent anyone except him from entering it. But as a safety procotion, he began to craft a Thaumic Staff.
This Staff would have the power to combat the terrible power of the Forbidden Knowledge. It would be able to manipulate the very fabric of Space-Time without tearing a hole in it. It's holy power would be able to disintegrate a zombie with one blast.
He chose a Staff Core of the Primal as the Core of the Sacred Staff due to its great power over the Primal Aspects. To further improve it's power, he infused it with the purest Of Primal Essentia He could create.
To further its magical properties he also infused it with Pure Praecantatio Essentia. He then used the most powerful and expensive wand caps to complete it, Ichorium Wand Caps.
Right as Azanor was putting the finishing touches on the Staff, an alarm went off. And not just any alarm, the alarm that represnts that someone managed to break into his vault. He rushed to his vault with the completed staff in his hand.
He saw the corpses of his guards on the floor as he ran. He made it to his vault to find the door blown to pieces with a Man holding a Bone Staff cloaked in a black robe holding the Forbidden Knowledge.
"NO! STOP! That knowledge is too dangerous for anyone to use!" Yelled Azanor. "Don't force me to use this!" he said raising the Ultimate Staff.
The cloaked man began to speak with a sinister, unearthy voice.
"Hm hm hm! You filthy mortals have had your time on this world! With this research, I can finally destroy this disgusting world and remake it in my own image," Gloated the Cloaked Figure.
"And to think that this all came about due to your foolish fascination with Thaumaturgy, Azanor!" The figure exclaimed.
"H-how do you know my name? Just who, or WHAT are you!?" Azanor fearfully said.
"I am one of an ancient race that ruled this world before you humans even existed. We had the power to manipulate physics and the Thaumic Field. Though, we missused our powers and brought our own destruction. Ah. But where are my manors.
My name can't actually be pronounced by humans, but you may call me, Eldros. Though I prefer to be indulged by my full title, King Eldros, but I'm not fussy," Said Eldros, "Now if you will excuse me, I'll be taking my leave."
"You're a fool if you think I'm going to let you take those documents from here Alive!" Exclaimed Azanor with a serious look on his face.
"Hmph. If you think you can defeat me, I would love to see you try, worm!" Said Eldros with a mocking tone.
Azanor charged at Eldros with the Ultimate Staff in hand and tried to strike at him. Somehow he missed Eldros even though he's a Master Staff Fighter. Eldros then knocked him away with a blow with the back of his hand.
Seeing how a Melee attack is useless, Azanor pulls out his Focus Pouch and puts the Fire Focus onto the staff. Drawing on the essentia reserves of the Staff, Azanor attempts to engulf Eldros in flames. But something goes wrong.
The Staff refuses to obey its master's commands and instead shocks Azanor with a burst of pure Primal Energy, knocking him to the ground. On the Edge of consciousness, hears Eldros laughing at him.
"You're an even bigger fool that I took you for! I knew you created that Staff to combat the evils of the Forbidden Knowledge. But you failed to realize that you created a Staff with a will of its own," Said Eldros with a smirk.
"You may be its creator but it will never accept you as its Master! Hm hm hm ha ha ha HA!" Exclaimed Eldros. Azanor loss consciousness while Eldros was laughing.
Azanor awoke to find himself in the Castle Infirmary. "Ah! Master Azanor! You're finally awake!" Exclaims the maid who was taking care of him.
"H-how long was I out?" Azanor said disoriented.
The Maid began to explain.
"I'm sorry to say that you were unconscious for a week, Master. Your other servants and I found you collapsed on the floor of what remained of your vault. You were clutching that Primal Staff when we found you and your whole body was slightly singed."
#pgx24
"W-wait! Where is that Staff?" Asked Azanor with a worried look on his face.
"We put it in your bedroom, Master, for safe keeping," Said the maid.
"Good..." Azanor said with a relieved look on his face.
"Master, if you don't mind my asking, just what exactly happened in the vault?" Asked the maid.
Azanor began to explain the terrible event with a grim expression.
"Th-that's horrible!" Exclaimed the maid.
"What should we do to prevent this tragedy?" Asked the maid.
"I've already prepared. That staff that I had with me when you found me was created to combat the evils of the Forbidden Knowledge," Azanor Explained.
"Unfortunately I cannot control its power. It has a will of its own and will only work for the one it deems worthy of being its Master. We need to find the 'Chosen One' before its too late," said Azanor.
"Do you have any idea what Eldros has planned for the Forbidden Knowledge?" Asked the maid.
"From what I have read in those cursed pages, he'll need to gather a vast amount of Vitium Essentia to create the very cursed staff that will bring upon the end of the world," said Azanor, "Then he will have to manage to destroy the six Primal Silverwood Trees, the only things keeping the world alive."
"The Primal Silverwood Trees? What are they?" The maid asked.
"It is an ancient Thaumic Legend. It is said that The Six Primal Silverwoods were created at the exact same time as the Earth was. They are hidden in the most treacherous places in the world relating to the Aspect they represent," said Azanor.
"Each tree keeps their aspect in check in the Thaumic Field so that the elements don't rage out of control. The Ignis Tree controls all fire so that it doesn't spread out of control and it keeps the volcanoes from continuously erupting."
"The Aer Tree keeps the weather from going out of control and allows the wind to blow normally. The Aqua Tree keeps water clean and able to support life. The Terra Tree keeps the Earth's soil fertile and keeps earthquakes from going out of control."
"Finally there are the Ordo and the Perditio Trees. The Ordo Tree keeps the Thaumic Field and the Fabric of Space from tearing apart and maintains order between the other elements."
"The Perditio Tree allows chaos to exist so that it keeps everything in balance mainly because Order can't exist without Chaos. It also keeps the Flow of Time moving. The Destruction of the trees would spell Armageddon for the world," said Azanor.
"Now if you will excuse me, I'm going to grab my Staff and tell everyone in the city of this travesty and ask for volunteers to see if they are the Chosen One," Azanor said to the maid while getting up and heading out of the Infirmary.
Seeing how it seems like no one in this era is going to be the Chosen One, He decides to use his knowledge to make a potion that will grant him eternal life so that he may search for the Chosen One for as long as possible.
He left the city to wander the Earth and left his Prime Minister in charge. What he didn't know was that sometime after he left, Eldros attacked with an army of tainted being and destroyed the city and turned everyone there into tainted monsters.
To this day the Taint still spreads. We can't eradicate it but we can keep it in check with the Ethereal Blooms. We pray that Azanor will find the Chosen One who will erase the taint from the world and Defeat Eldros so that Peace will be restored.
It is said that only one with an Unbreakable Spirit and a Courageous Heart can wield the Might of the Sacred Primal Staff. There are signs that show that the end is near. The first is that the taint will begin to spread quickly. This has already happened.
The Second sign is that the elements will begin to spiral out of control, hearlding the destruction of the Primal Silverwoods. The Final sign that means all is lost is that the taint consumes the world completely.

Thank you,
Azanor for creating Thaumcraft.
Vazkii for Creating Thaumic Tinkerer.
SpitefulFox for creating the Forbidden Magic addon that Inspired the Forbidden Knowledge.
And that's it. I hope you liked it. And I wouldn't be too surprised if this sparked some inspiration for you Azanor.
I have completed my book. It is titled Thaumic Legends. To read it in MC, have BiblioCraft installed. Then Download the book's file from the Download Link below. Then go to the .minecraft folder, open the config file and place the book's file into the books folder. If there isn't one in there, just create a folder named books.
Now, open up MC, and in any world, put down a typesetting table and click it until you get a gui with book names, now click "Starblast16, Thaumic Legends". Now just put a button on the front of the Typesetting table with a Print Press Chase on it and hit the button to make a chase for the Book. Now place a printing press, click it with ink sacs to fill it with ink. Ok, so now you click it with the chase for the book to insert it, now put a blank book, not a book and quill, on it and it'll make a copy of the book.
I know it's a lot of work, but it's worth it. The book is my finest work. Enjoy!
Thaumcraft has inspired me and I have started to write a story based off of aspects I made up (Not Thaumic Aspects) and aspects of addons and Thaumcraft itself. I made Azanor the Protagonist. It's in a book on MC so I can't really copy and paste it on here, BUT, I can save it using BiblioCraft and put its file on MediaFire for you guys to download and read. I'll tell you when I finish it.

Tell me what you think. Do I need to fix anything or should I add anything. I think this will stabilize the Infusion Process a great deal. Have Thaumic Exploration, don't care for Technomancy.
