an empty intro retro can be replaced with vacant reflection in order to save space
also, unless you want to cast multiple spells at once, you don't actually have to care about mishaps since they don't draw any media from you. for these spells the conditionals are completely unnecessary.
use of the ravenmind is unnecessary as well. hermes' gambit can draw form the rest of the stack when executing patterns. thoth takes the pre-existing stack with it too. if you insist on avoiding mishaps and want the stack to clear on the alternate, you can use bookkeeper's for it.
and while the hammer would work, in most cases it will break a 3x3x2 area because of being centered on the block you're looking at.

Code: Select all

mind's reflection
compass purification
mind's reflection
alidade's purification
dioscuri gambit
archer's distillation
rotation gambit 2
architect's distillation
subtractive distillation //makes center of the 3x3x3 cube behind the block you're looking at
{
 additive distillation
 break block
}
consideration
bookkeeper's: - //replace with vector field/list of vectors
thoth's gambit

would probably make more sense, especially with conscutive uses.
and if you really want to save on the casting cost of 3x3x3 break, you can check for block presence by comparing a raycast from a position with that original position, or use hexal's types to see if the block you trying to break is air, and use augur's exaltation on that.
lastly, please don't post an untested spell in akashic records, it kind of defeats the purpose of it
