==Working with Essentia==

Essentia is the liquid form of vis, and can be stored in phials, Warded Jars, or digital AE2 storage, and piped with Essentia Tubes or a ME network. Essentia is distilled from items using the Alchemical Furnace with one or more Arcane Alembics on top. Items burned in the Alchemical Furnace give essentia equal to their component aspects, shown by scanning with the Thaumometer. Phials work like buckets but only grab eight essentia (and only ''exactly'' eight) at a time. Alembics and jars can be Shift+Right-clicked to empty them with an empty hand. This will delete any essentia inside.

Jars have a starting capacity of 64, and essentia needs to be in jars in order to be accessible to the Infusion Altar or [[Thaumic Restorer]] unless handled by AE2.

Phials work like buckets but only grab eight essentia (and only ''exactly'' eight) at a time. Alembics and jars can be Shift+Right-clicked to empty them with an empty hand. This will delete any essentia inside. Jar Labels (crafted from a filled phial, not consumed) applied to a Warded Jar will lock it to that essentia type. Jars have a starting capacity of 64, and essentia needs to be in jars in order to be accessible to the Infusion Altar or [[Thaumic Restorer]] unless handled by AE2. A large collection of phials or jars can be stored in a Filing Cabinet. Both Bibliocraft Shelf and Potion Shelf can store jars/phials, though the potion shelf has some directionality issues with labelled jar facing.
