How To Make A Blank Lesser Focus In Thaumcraft 6

In Thaumcraft 6, the Blank Lesser Focus is an essential crafting component you’ll need to create focus spells for your Caster’s Gauntlet. In this guide, we’ll walk you through exactly what materials you need, where to find them, and how to combine them in the Crucible to craft your very own Blank Lesser Focus.

What You Need: Crucible Requirements

To craft a Blank Lesser Focus, you’ll need to use the Crucible. The recipe requires the following Vis amounts dissolved into the Crucible:

20 Vitreus

10 Praesantia

5 Auram

You will also need an Aer Vis Crystal — specifically, an Autovis Crystal. These are the white crystals you can mine in caves underground. Keep an eye out for them during your spelunking adventures.

The Easiest Ingredients To Use

Rather than hunting down obscure items, here is the most straightforward combination of ingredients to hit those exact Vis totals in the Crucible:

1 Silverwood Log — provides your 5 Auram. Found in Thaumcraft Silverwood forests.

1 Greatwood Log — provides your 10 Praesantia. Greatwood trees are fairly common and easy to locate.

2 Diamonds — each diamond provides 15 Vitreus, giving you 30 total. You only need 20, so you will have a little spare — but that’s perfectly fine.

How To Craft The Blank Lesser Focus

Step 1: Prepare Your Crucible

Make sure your Crucible is set up and ready to use. If you haven’t built one yet, you’ll need to do that before proceeding.

Step 2: Add Your Ingredients

With your Crucible ready, toss in the following items one by one:

Throw in 1 Greatwood Log.

Throw in 1 Silverwood Log.

Throw in 2 Diamonds.

Finally, throw in your Autovis Crystal to complete the reaction.

Step 3: Collect Your Blank Lesser Focus

Once all the ingredients have been added to the Crucible, the reaction will complete and produce your Blank Lesser Focus. Pick it up and you’re ready to move on!

What To Do Next: Using The Focal Manipulator

Now that you have your Blank Lesser Focus, you can take it to your Focal Manipulator to imbue it with a focus spell of your choosing. From there, slot it into your Caster’s Gauntlet and start casting!

Summary

Crafting a Blank Lesser Focus in Thaumcraft 6 is straightforward once you know what to gather. Simply toss 1 Greatwood Log, 1 Silverwood Log, 2 Diamonds, and an Autovis Crystal into your Crucible, and you’ll have your Blank Lesser Focus ready in no time. From there, use the Focal Manipulator to turn it into the focus spell you need for your Caster’s Gauntlet.
