Have you ever written a spell that's just too darn big? Has your WispOS (coming soon) ever rejected you because you fed it too much data? Have you ever just wanted to scrunch up your spells into little tiny balls u̷͙͘ṉ̴̏t̸̰̅i̵̧̽l̴̰͌ ̴̜͗t̴̤́ḥ̶̉e̷͙̽y̶͙̕ ̵͎͋a̶͍̐r̶͔̎e̵͍̾ ̶̣͘b̷̘̽u̸̬̾t̶͇͑ ̵̨̿ą̷͘ ̷̡͊s̸̙͑h̴̼͑a̷͕̽t̵̫́t̷̼̓e̵̯͝r̷̝̈́ê̷͓d̴̦̃ ̵͍̈́f̴̗͊a̸̖͠c̷̞̋s̴̠͋ì̷̼m̵̲̀ì̸̦l̷͕͒e̴̬͛ ̵͎͠o̷̫͘f̷͉̈́ ̸̘͝t̵̥͌h̴̞͊e̵̹̓i̵̛̝ṟ̷͑ ̴̫̕f̵̰̒ő̶̻r̷̢͂m̴͔͠ĕ̵̮r̵͔͆ ̶̮̂s̶̹̒ẹ̶̑l̴̥͑v̵̭̽è̸̡s̸̤̀ and then put them back together moments later?
Well, Spell Compression is for you!
Here at [redacted], we have worked tirelessly to allow you to compress your spells into just a couple of iotas, and then restore them again. Spells, stygian spells, embedded data, no matter what you're working with, spell compression works flawlessly. That's right, it just works. In under two weeks you'll see all of your spells shrunk down to 10 iotas or less or your money back, guaranteed! (The deposit of a true name is required to claim your refund.)
Spell Compression
Simply place your spell on the stack and run the following macro, and in only two meta evaluations you'll have a fully compressed spell!

Details
- These macros require MoreIotas and Hexbound.
- These macros are computationally expensive! Try to avoid thrashing your world / server by calling them too often.
- Hex Patterns are appended to each other to make longer patterns, only splitting into multiple patterns when the limit of 1600 line segments is reached. These patterns use the 's' direction as the delimiter between patterns. An 'ss' means that the top remaining data iota should be inserted in between adjacent patterns.
- The compressed spell format is as follows: [ number of compressed patterns, ... compressed patterns, ... embedded data iotas ]
- The minimum size for a compressed pattern is 3 iotas. Non-pattern spell items will be left in their original form, increasing that size. Each additional 1600 line segments in your spell will require 1 more iota to represent.
But... Why?
Mainly because I wanted to! But also because this sort of compression allows for storing larger spells in my work-in-progress WispOS, which allows you to dynamically add and remove "programs" for the wisp to execute. This technique can also be used to bypass spell length limits if you're making something *really* long. Just store the compressed spell segments and the decompressor, and run it on each segment.
If you find these macros useful, tell me what you used them for!
