Thaumcraft rituals, run by your ME network.

Infusion and crucible crafts are the two things a thaumaturge ends up doing by hand a thousand
times over. RaiThaumcraftAdditions turns both into ordinary AE2 crafting steps: encode the ritual
onto a pattern, drop the pattern into the Arcane Assembler, and the network can request the result
like any other item — essentia and all.

Arcane Assembler

The heart of the addon, and a real machine on the ME network rather than a glorified chest.

- It joins the grid itself. The assembler carries its own grid node, so a cable is all it needs;
the nine patterns sitting inside are offered to the crafting grid immediately.
- Results go straight into storage. Patterns pushed in by an adjacent ME Interface work too —
in that case the finished items are handed back to the interface instead.
- It finds its own essentia. Jars, tubes and any other aspect container within 16 blocks get
drained automatically — the same range the Infusion Altar itself uses — and the assembler
advertises suction to tubes while an aspect is still missing. It buffers 64 essentia per aspect.
- It takes acceleration cards. Up to five. A craft costs 40 progress; the assembler earns
1 progress per tick bare and 640 with a full set, which is sixteen crafts a tick.
- It has room for the big recipes. 18 input and 18 output slots — enough for the widest
infusion there is: a central item plus fifteen pedestal components.

Arcane Pattern Encoder

Lay your ingredients into the grid, pick the machine — Infusion Matrix or Crucible — and the encoder
resolves them against Thaumcraft's own recipe lists. The grid holds ghost stacks: pure
configuration, never real items, so nothing is ever consumed or dropped when you break the block.

When one set of ingredients matches more than one recipe — a crucible catalyst makes different
things depending on the essentia — the encoder lets you pick which one to stamp. Feed it an AE2
Blank Pattern and take out a finished Infusion or Crucible Pattern.

Stabilization Pylon

Four pylons placed symmetrically around an infusion matrix — two blocks out on every side, at the
level of the infusion pillars — hold the matrix at zero instability. No more losing a thirty-item
infusion because something wandered into the room.

Distance, height, and whether a complete formation forces full stabilization are all configurable.
Turn the forcing off and the pylons behave as ordinary Thaumcraft stabilisers instead.

Arcane Loupe

Right-click an infusion matrix — or a pylon, or any other stabiliser — and it tells you what is
actually going on: current stabilization, how many pylons the formation has found, the recipe's
instability against the running total, and the asymmetry penalty your build is taking. If the
formation is incomplete, it tells you where the missing pylons belong.

Infernal Smelter

Melts items straight into essentia: 4 essentia per second on its own, +3 for every AE2 acceleration
card, so four cards give 16/s. The output feeds Thaumcraft tubes or anything that drains an aspect
container — including the essentia import buses of Thaumic Energistics.
