Re: The Easiest Hammer

I wanted to see if the claim that this was the fewest possible patterns to create a 3x3 hammer in base hexcasting really did hold up, and it turns out its not true! Below is my version of the spell, which uses 3 less patterns coming in at 28 total (26 excluding border intro/retro-sepction) [pat=qaq ...

Evaluation over a (bezier) curve

This spell acts like thoths over a bezier curve (for those unfamiliar with bezier curves, imagine the pen tool in some drawing software), evaluating a given spell over a list of positions on the curve. This could be used to generate smooth curves as part of building a structure, or perhaps to smooth...

Incremental lists

Preface: I know similar spells exist which achieve the same purpose as these, but in my experience these either made assumptions about the state of the stack or overwrite the ravenmind, and were not ideal for keeping pattern count low. These spells take a number and return an incrimental list from 0...

Sentinel walking

This spell takes a vector, and moves a sentinel from its current position to that location. This could be useful for larger spells which need to maintain ambit, or perhaps to perform an action in a location out of ambit, but where the coordinates are known. The ravenmind and stack are left unaffecte...

Line between two points

This spell takes two vectors and returns a list of the positions between them. This could be used to find entites in a close range to said line, dig paths through ground (potentially using https://forum.petra-k.at/viewtopic.php?t=142 to generate the relative positions) or create a path in the air. T...

Long range block selection

This spell acts as Archers Distillation over an arbitrarily long range utillising sentinel walking. For conveniences sake, at the end of the loop the sentinel is teleported to the selected block under the assumption some other spell may be ran thinking that block to have a uniform 16 radius ambit. T...

Evaluation over a cuboid

This spell acts like thoths over a cuboid, evaluating a given spell over every block. This has many uses, for instance breaking a large area in one spell, or perhaps building a large sphere around the caster. (notably like thoths it also copies the stack (and outputs a list of the stacks), so for la...
