Атанор

The Athanor is the alchemist's furnace, a vessel of transmutation that transcends mere smelting. Within its crucible you may triple ore yields, revert Orbs of Vitae, unmake Netherite and Reinforced Runes, and - most critically - distill Weak Blood Shards from Saturated Tau.

Most tools placed in the Athanor degrade over time, but Unbreaking or Mending enchantments will slow or halt their decay.

Forged within the Hellfire Forge, the Sanguine Reverter is a tool of unmaking. It peels away the enchantments of creation, reducing Orbs of Vitae, Netherite, and Reinforced Runes back to their constituent materials. It is also the instrument by which Weak Blood Shards are born from Saturated Tau.

With the Sanguine Reverter, the Athanor can unmake:

• Novicius Orb of Vitae
• Discipulus Orb of Vitae
• Veneficus Orb of Vitae
• Magus Orb of Vitae
• Netherite Ingot
• Any Reinforced Rune (to base materials)

Use a Ritual Diviner [Tenebrae] for easier construction.

Every Athanor, Hellfire Forge, Tabula Vitae and Sanguine Crafter within the circle works at twice its usual pace. This adds to whatever already hastens the machine, such as an Athanor's tool or a rich Aura.

A craft costs no more than it would without the ritual. The ritual itself draws Essentia Vitae each second for every machine that is working; idle machines cost nothing.

Its Deus form works ten times as fast.
