Permanent Wisp

[[object Object]]

This is a template and circle to make a cyclic wisp that refuels itself from a spell circle, allowing it to run indefinitely. The wisp triggers the spell circle by conjuring and breaking a block in front of the observer, causing the spell circle to summon a cyclic wisp that's consumed by the main wisp. Hexes using this template must return the stack to its initial state after each iteration; you can use the ravenmind if you want persistent data, since this template doesn't touch it.

Template
Use Locator's Scalpel to replace Reveal with the patterns you want to run, and optionally to change the initial wisp buffer from the default (50 dust). To summon the wisp, cast the completed hex while looking at the face of the observer.

Circle
Build the circle with the empty impetus on the southeast corner so the fuel wisp is summoned in the correct location.
