So recently I installed FTB Mage Quest, and I've gotten up to the bit where it asks you to craft a greatwood rod. Since the crafting recipe was not showing up (although I am not sure if this is a bug or intentional), I looked it up online. After making the Arcane Workbench, I put my wand into the slot, fully charged with vis, and inserted the 2 greatwood logs in the right position. However, the Perditio symbol did not light up, and the Rod did not get crafted. Is this just me being dumb or am I doing something wrong?

Doesn't the greatwood wand core also require the relevant research in the Thaumonomicon? My knowledge may be out of date.

Ah excellent! :) Glad I could help, you're welcome! Thaumcraft is an odd one in that many of its recipes and functions, except for a few starting ones, are gated behind progression within the mod, through the Thaumonomicon. I'm playing a 1.7 modpack with Thaumcraft as well, so I'm just refreshing my knowledge about it - if you have any other issues come up, feel free to ask!
