Crystallized Nether Portal

Bizarrely, it seems that the Portal actually absorbs Power when connected via a Copper Sign to the Crucible. I can't imagine a use for such a phenomenon, so I suppose the exploration ends here...

Hello again. Yes, this seems like a dead end, but be persistent! Sacrificing a large amount of the power the portals imbue into their frames over long time spans is the key to a curious effect.

The change can only reverse if the portal frame remains intact.

By sacrificing a sufficiently large amount of Mind Power to a Nether Portal at once, one can create Crystallized Nether Portals.

As long as the Portal Frame is not complete, you can harvest them by hand.
