A number of "stabilizer objects", try to start with at least 10 or a dozen.Note that one of these will go in the center of the Altar. At least 6 Arcane Pedestals (you can make more later).A collection of jars and void jars with the essentia you'll be using.This will let you distill the various essentias used for infusion crafting.

The odds of such problems will increase over the course of the infusion. From this point onward, it is possible to have "instability effects" which can disrupt the ritual and even hurt the player. If the recipe is correct, the Altar will "light", and the special effects will start.If the wrong items are present, or needed items are missing, nothing will happen (but see "Item Perfection" below). When the process is started by right-clicking the Runic Matrix with a wand, it proceeds as follows: Jars of the required essentia are placed nearby (or later, an essentia mirror is set up). After building the Infusion Altar, the general procedure is to place the item ingredients of the recipe on pedestals around the altar, with the "target" item in the center pedestal. Arcane Infusion is the "advanced course" in Thaumcraft's magic, by which players can build the most powerful items available.
