Basic Artificing

Basic Artificing is an introductory research found under the Artifice tab. It details the construction of several items that are commonly used in Artificing recipes. It shows the recipes for: the Primal Charm, Mundane Amulet, Mundane Ring, Mundane Belt, Fancy Amulet, Fancy Ring, Fancy Belt and Mirrored Glass.

## Items

### Primal Charm

The Primal Charm is a crafting component that can be created at an Arcane Workbench from one of each of the Primal Vis Shards and a Balanced Shard and a gold ingot, along with 25 of each Vis. Unlike in previous versions, it truly has no inherent use of its own, and does not unlock the ability to research the Wand Focus: Primal. Instead, it is used in a plethora of different Artificing recipes, and is crucial to the creation of Staves. Although it will, as in previous version, occasionally display messages about its status when it is moused over, these messages mean nothing and will not trigger any events.

### Mirrored Glass

Mirrored Glass is used in several Artificing recipes, however, its main use is in the creation of the Magic Mirror and its variant, the Essentia Mirror. It is created in an Arcane Workbench with 1 Quicksilver and one glass pane of any type, along with 25 Terra and Ignis Vis. It is also used in the creation of the Sanity Checker, which can be crucial for mid to late game Thaumaturges.
