How To Make Magic Tallow In Thaumcraft 6

Magic Tallow is a key crafting ingredient in Thaumcraft 6, and the good news is — it’s surprisingly easy to make. In this guide, we’ll walk you through exactly how to transmute Magic Tallow using the Crucible, step by step, even if you’re brand new to Thaumcraft.

Finding the Recipe in the Thaumonomicon

To get started, open your Thaumonomicon and navigate to the Hedge Alchemy section. Here you’ll find the transmutation recipe for Magic Tallow. The recipe requires one Ignis (a fire-based Vis essence) and Rotten Flesh as the catalyst.

Gathering Your Ingredients

Sourcing Ignis

You need one Ignis to make a single Magic Tallow. A great and easy source of Ignis is a simple Torch — each torch contains exactly one Ignis, making them a convenient and cheap ingredient to use.

Sourcing the Catalyst — Rotten Flesh

You’ll also need Rotten Flesh to act as the catalyst in the transmutation. This is easy to collect by defeating zombies in the world.

Making Magic Tallow in the Crucible

With your ingredients ready, head to your Crucible. Make sure it is filled with water and fully heated up. Once it’s ready, follow these steps:

Throw a Torch into the Crucible to contribute one Ignis.

Then throw in a piece of Rotten Flesh as the catalyst.

The transmutation will trigger automatically — and your Magic Tallow will appear!

Making Magic Tallow in Bulk

Need more than one Magic Tallow? No problem! You can scale this up easily. Simply throw in multiple Torches and match them with an equal number of Rotten Flesh pieces. For example, throwing in 10 Torches followed by 10 Rotten Flesh will yield 10 Magic Tallow in one go.

Summary

Making Magic Tallow in Thaumcraft 6 is one of the simpler Crucible recipes you’ll encounter. All you need are Torches (for Ignis) and Rotten Flesh (as the catalyst), tossed into a heated, water-filled Crucible. Scale it up as needed, and you’ll have plenty of Magic Tallow for all your Thaumcraft crafting needs.
