Runestones & Original Witchcraft
Recent discoveries have led me to believe there is more to magic than simple wands and tools.

Camping on a freezing mountain at night brought about an onslaught of phantoms as it usually does. But I stayed within my hut safe from them and attempted to craft a peculiar object I'd seen in ancient tomes and scriptures. I never expected it to truly work, but through the use of some original witchcraft objects (which I will collect, research and document as soon as I find a lot) I was able to create a fragment of an Elemental Runestone. More specifically a lightning based one, called a Stormrune.

The recipe I used is documented on the following page. It never seemed to work at home or any other locations I attempted to make it.

 Top Row   Middle Row   Bottom Row  Now about these peculiar items. I had only started coming across them these past few months. It seems after the alchemical rites to gain magic started again these magic items started to appear naturally as they did long ago.
 * Caster's Quartz
 * End Crystal
 * Caster's Quartz
 * Vex's Wing
 * Glass Block
 * Iron Bamboo
 * Shockpower
 * Redstone Dust
 * Shockpower

I always wondered why my regular Bamboo wasn't working, and it turns out I needed to use Iron Bamboo. These objects seemed to be far more common in ancient times when alchemy and casting-magic weren't so alien to each other.

I gained the shockpowder by killing creepers, as it bears a close resemblance to gunpowder. The iron bamboo randomly popped out of some wild bamboo I broke, and the vex' wing of course came from one I killed.

These 3 items are clearly just a few of many, and I will soon be documenting each one and where to get them into a guide, as they may be the key to unlocking more Runestone fragments.

Runestones II
I have recently discovered a new Elemental Runestone shard. After weeks of collecting Nautilus shells I started coming across a new rare variant which was the key to unlocking the Tidalrune. Which is linked to ice & water. The recipe is as follows

 Top Row   Middle Row   Bottom Row  It seems that all runestones follow this crafting pattern. I obtained these rare ingredients after a long search and discovered that cobwebs can drop pure silk, drowned may drop ammonite shells, and a turtle may lay a mutated magic egg, called an embriloch egg.
 * Caster's Quartz
 * End Crystal
 * Caster's Quartz
 * Pure Silk
 * Glass Block
 * Embriloch Egg
 * Ammonite Shell
 * Blue Ice
 * Ammonite Shell

Runestones III
I finally unearthed the elements needed to craft my third Elemental Runestone shard. This third rune is called and Earthrune and while it still holds high-power attacks, is more defensive than the last. The recipe is as follows

 Top Row   Middle Row   Bottom Row  Blinding gold seems to be a rare variant of gold that can drop straight from the ore itself. Death caps are a variant of brown mushrooms that can drop when grown ones are broke, and hare's feet are a variant of rabbit's feet and drop in the same way.
 * Caster's Quartz
 * End Crystal
 * Caster's Quartz
 * Blinding Gold
 * Glass
 * Death Cap
 * Hare's Foot
 * Oak Leaves
 * Hare's Foot

Runestones IV
This latest Elemental Runestone is much more nether based, seeing as it is a fire rune. Its name is the Infernorune and it boasts very impressive fire and lava based attacks. The recipe is as follows

 Top Row   Middle Row   Bottom Row  The nests seem to be an uncommon drop in wheat fields, and farmers have been known to obtain a couple. The refined blaze powder and preserved ghast charge are simply rare drops from their corresponding mobs.
 * Caster's Quartz
 * End Crystal
 * Caster's Quartz
 * Micromys Mintus Nest
 * Glass
 * Refined Blaze Powder
 * Preserved Ghast Charge
 * Magma Block
 * Preserved Ghast Charge

Trivia

 * The fact that The Woodland Sorcerer claims that "being attacked by phantoms is usual" could suggest she is suffering from insomnia.
