Exanimis (Undead)
Exanimis, the aspect of undead, is a base Thaumcraft 4 compound made from Motus and Mortuus. One point costs 5 primal points to synthesize from scratch.
Recipe
Combine one point of each component at the research table to get one point of Exanimis. Counting all the way down to primals, a single point takes 5 primal points:
That total is the number the solver shows as craft cost when it places Exanimis in an empty cell.
What Exanimis connects to
Exanimis links to 2 aspects in this library (see the connection rule): its two components.
| Neighbor | Why it connects | Craft cost |
|---|---|---|
| Motus | Component of Exanimis | 2 |
| Mortuus | Component of Exanimis | 3 |
No compound in this library is built from Exanimis, so its only neighbors are its own components. A fixed Exanimis on a note has to be approached through Motus or Mortuus.
When Exanimis is printed on your note and you only need to leave it, Motus is the cheapest first step at cost 2.
Reaching Exanimis from each primal
These are the shortest valid chains in this dataset, using base Thaumcraft 4 aspects only. Where several chains tie on length, the one with the cheapest in-between aspects is listed. Cost counts only the aspects between the two ends, the cells you would have to fill.
| From | Chain | Cells to fill | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Aer | Aer → Motus → Exanimis | 1 | 2 |
| Terra | Terra → Iter → Motus → Exanimis | 2 | 5 |
| Ignis | Ignis → Lux → Aer → Motus → Exanimis | 3 | 5 |
| Aqua | Aqua → Victus → Mortuus → Exanimis | 2 | 5 |
| Ordo | Ordo → Motus → Exanimis | 1 | 2 |
| Perditio | Perditio → Mortuus → Exanimis | 1 | 3 |
A real note also has geometry: the chain has to fit the free hexes between your endpoints. If the gap is longer than the chain, pad it by stepping back and forth between two aspects that connect, or let the solver find a layout that fits.
Data source
Exanimis is in the base Thaumcraft 4 group. Its default commonness is 45 out of 100, an editable estimate used by the Common ranking. The component pair was compared with Azanor's Thaumcraft API, Minecraft 1.7.10 branch. The recipe table covers every component pair and the version limits.
