Wands
Thaumic Forever restores a modular wand progression alongside Thaumcraft 6 casters.
- Rod/core controls capacity and may alter behavior.
- Caps modify vis cost and may grant discounts for specific primal aspects.
- Wand is the general-purpose form.
- Staff favors capacity and combat use.
- Scepter is a compact specialized form.
The tree begins at BASETHAUMATURGY, then unlocks Gold, Brass, Thaumium and Void caps; Greatwood, Elemental and Silverwood rods; Staff/Scepter forms; and Elemental, Silverwood and Primal cores. CAP_MATERIAL_ALL, CAP_MATERIAL_ADD, STAFF_ALL and STAFF_ADD extend parts using installed integrations.
The percentage shown in a cap's tooltip is the actual Vis discount. For
example, Vis discount: 18% means that the cap reduces the base vis cost by
18%, so an action costs 82% of its original value.
Vis discounts from compatible Thaumcraft equipment are included when the final cost is calculated.
Aspect discounts are separate fixed reductions expressed through the six primal aspects stored by the wand. The same decomposed values are used by the Arcane Workbench and when a wand casts a focus.
The Arcane Wand Workbench assembles modular parts and handles wand-powered arcane crafting. Its interface displays:
- current wand charge;
- final vis cost and effective discount;
- six primal-aspect charge values;
- multiple matching recipes through selection arrows.
At the beginning of wand progression, a wand can only be recharged directly from an Aura Node. Finding, preserving and safely accessing a node is therefore required before a wand can be used regularly.
Later, WANDCHARGE unlocks blocks that make charging more convenient and
allow it to be integrated into a thaumaturge's workshop:
- Arcane Wand Workbench Charger charges a wand placed in the Arcane Wand Workbench. It can draw from the local primal aura or use CV when a valid CV supply is available;
- Recharge Pedestal provides a dedicated place for recharging a wand, but it operates only from a CV supply;
- converters and Ports connect compatible aura infrastructure to the charging blocks that accept CV.
- Compare part tooltips before assembly.
- Keep vis percentage and aspect discount conceptually separate.
- A recipe may match but remain unavailable when the wand lacks vis or aspects.
- Optional Ichor parts use configurable Thaumic Tinkerer item IDs.
