Glass Phial

Glass Phial
The Glass Phial is a magical version of the Glass Bottle. While it is used at first to craft Scribing Tools, its main function is to hold raw Essentia.

Thaumonomicon Entry
"Glass phials are capable of holding all manner of liquids and substances, but the most important to the thaumaturge is their ability to hold Essentia.  Essentia is not easy to gather however and it indelibly stains the phial, making it only useable once."

Uses
Each glass phial can hold 8 Essentia of a single Aspect, meaning you cannot mix different aspects in the same phial.

In order to fill a glass phial with Essentia, simply right click on an Arcane Alembic that has 8 or more Essentia in it.

Glass phials that have been filled with Essentia have many practical uses. They can be used for research, or thrown into crucibles for crafting purposes.

If you right click on a Warded Jar a filled phial, it will fill the jar with it. Jars hold up to 64 Essentia of a single aspect. It takes 8 phials to fill a Warded Jar. This is useful for storage purposes, or to fuel the Essentia cost of an Infusion Altar, as it will draw Essentia from a filled jar.

After filling and emptying a glass phial, it is consumed.

Unlike Warded Jars, they can stack. Giving a full stack of phials of 512 aspect. However you can't use the aspect while they are in a phial.

Crafting
Glass Phials are crafted like a glass bottle, but with a piece of clay on top. This yields 8 glass phials, or 24 glass and 8 clay for a full stack of Glass Phials
