==First Steps==
To get started in Thaumcraft, the prospective Thaumaturge needs a Wand, Thaumonomicon, Arcane Worktable, Thaumometer, Scribing Tools and a Research Table. Wands hold Vis, which is collected from nodes and used to power spells and the Arcane Worktable, Thaumcraft's version of the Crafting Table. The Thaumonomicon is a encyclopedia containing lore, recipes, and the source of Research Notes. Research Notes, Scribing Tools and points from scanning things with the Thaumometer combined with the Research Table's minigame unlock new recipes.

Research Notes are obtained from the Thaumonomicon, while having Scribing Tools and paper in the inventory. Scribing Tools require a Feather, Ink Sac, Glass Bottle and Rubber. Research Points are obtained by scanning new things with the Thaumometer, consuming Knowledge Fragments (+1-2 points of each primal aspect, obtained from loot, Wizard [[Villager]]s and [[Bees]]) or with the Deconstruction Table. The Research Table is two side-by-side Thaumcraft Tables, right-clicked with Scribing Tools. A Research Table can also generate inspiration points based on nearby blocks, which gives free primal points at a very slow rate if the table has none of that aspect.
