'''Thaumcraft''' is the primary magic mod in GT:NH, which gates numerous others including [[Witchery]], [[Botania]], [[Blood Magic]], vanilla Potions/Enchanting/Beacons, Ender Chests/Tanks, the Bedrock dimension and more. It is based around studying alchemy, wandcraft, nodes and eldritch secrets, balancing the quest for knowledge against the consequences of forbidden arts.

* Wand
** Thauminomicon
** Research Table
** Thaumometer
#* These are elemental signs which describe all objects. Ignis represents fire, Aqua represents water, and so on. Primal aspects can be combined to make compound aspects like "Instrumentum" which represents human tools.▼
▲#*The aspects that make up objects can be discovered using a '''Thaumometer'''. Not all objects are scannable, and sometimes scanning will be blocked until you have discovered aspects. In the beginning you only know the primals.
#*These are physical manifestation of aspects used to power wands and certain magical machines. Vis may be found by killing mobs (the other orbs that drop besides experience), drawing it from nodes found in the world, or by breaking primal shrooms.▼
#*These are nexuses of vis power which can be found in the world. The aspects are random. After scanning them with a Thaumometer, their location will be marked down in your '''Node Tracker''' (bound to "I" by default).▼

You can eliminate all warp with a Pure Tear, which can sometimes be obtained from a lootbag. ▼
BEWARE: it will discharge all warp at once, so be far from your base and be prepared to commit die (may not stop it on some servers, in which case you have to wait it out).▼
(TODO: Add soul brazier, warp tumor, soaps, baths, impure tear, etc.)▼

You can edit a file to make warp always displayed on your InGameInfo.

Essentia are a liquid form of aspects. You can acquire them by burning items in an '''Alchemical Furnace''' to extract their component essentia. Liquid essentia may be stored in essentia jars, and later can interface with your AE2 system. Essentia are vital for alchemy, the Infusion Altar, and running certain machines, like the Lamp of Growth, Arcane Bore, or Thaumic Replicator.

==== Warp ====
Thaumcraft uses a "warp" mechanic. Warp is acquired when learning Forbidden research in the Thaumonomicon and when doing certain actions in world, like eating zombie brains. There are three types; Temporary, which fades with time, Normal, which can be removed with effort, and Permanent, which is permanent until very late in Thaumcraft progress. Current Warp can be checked by using '''Arcane Litmus Paper''', or /checkwarp (if allowed on your server). '''DO NOT''' stack Warp without the means for dealing with it. It cannot be permanently removed until you reach IV tech progression, so choose research options accordingly.
