Occult AE

---

Automate Occultism through Applied Energistics 2. Rituals become autocrafting patterns, souls become a resource in your ME network, and in the endgame the demons of the Goetia serve your network in exchange for sacrifice and tribute. Occultism rituals, meet the ME network.

---

Why?

Occultism and AE2 don't get along out of the box:

• Every Book of Binding gets a random spirit name, so to AE2 each book is a different item: they don't stack and patterns never recognize them.
• Lamps inherit the book's name and pick up wear, so a pattern encoded from JEI never finds its ingredient.
• Rituals need a pentacle built in the world and a player standing next to it.

Occult AE fixes all of that, and then goes much further.

---

⛧ Ritual Chamber

A compact pentacle in a single block. Embed the chalk, bowls and pentacle blocks into it and it evolves Foliot → Djinni → Afrit → Marid, with an animated ritual when it ascends.

• Runs Occultism rituals internally as AE2 patterns: request a lamp or an essence in the terminal and the Chamber crafts it.
• Fuzzy inputs and canonical names: any book or lamp of the right kind works, and new ones stack.
• Follows the 5 pentacle lines of the Occultism book (Crafting, Summoning, Possession, Contact, Resurrection); each line unlocks more rituals.
• Uses your crafting CPU co-processors: one simultaneous ritual per co-processor, capped by the Chamber's tier.
• Thaumaturgic Cards: Celerity (4× faster) and Epiphany (instant rituals).

☠ Souls in the ME network

Soul is a brand-new AE2 resource, tracked per mob ("Soul of Cow ×128"), stored in ME Soul Storage Cells (1k to 64k).

• Soul Reliquary: kills mobs in its area and sends soul + drops to the network. Whitelist/blacklist and tag filters, Range and Looting cards, and a weapon slot whose enchantments apply to every strike (Fire Aspect drops cooked meat, Looting works, Apotheosis affixes work) with no durability loss. Also extracts souls from filled Soul Gems, Trinity Gems and EnderIO Soul Vials.
• Drop patterns: the Reliquary turns souls into items on demand. Request leather and it strikes cow souls, with the real loot table and a fair conversion rate.
• Summoner: summons mobs from stored souls (no drops, no XP), runs Occultism's summoning rituals (possessions, hordes, Djinnis with jobs, familiars), has a queue, redstone repeat and a keep N alive mode. Summoning Anchors let it summon far away, no cable needed.
• Soul Distiller: set a maximum per soul type and the excess becomes Bottles o' Enchanting.
• ME Ritual Terminal: monitor every Chamber and Summoner in the network and cancel summons remotely.
• Lamp Warden: keeps your Dimensional Mineshafts running. It swaps worn lamps, upgrades to better ones and asks AE2 to repair them, enchantments included.

▲ Ascension Seals

Every machine is born at the Foliot tier. Press a seal against it to raise it to Djinni, Afrit and Marid, in place, without breaking it. Each tier unlocks real power: drop patterns, faster kills, bigger queues, Marid rituals, more souls per cycle.

🜏 The Conclave (endgame)

Build an altar of Conclave Stone and Conclave Pillars, place the Conclave Throne at its heart, offer a sigil, a sacrifice and a tribute of souls every minute, and a demon of the Goetia will serve your network. Break the pact, miss the tribute or let the altar crumble, and it's gone, along with the sacrifice.

Demon	Rank	Boon
Paimon	King	Every crafting recipe becomes an AE2 pattern, crafted instantly by the Throne
Belial	King	Infinite channels: the network forgets AE2's channel limit
Bune	Duke	Vault of Bune: unlimited ME storage, with no type or amount limit. Locks if the pact breaks
Glasya-Labolas	President	Every Reliquary slaughters its whole area at once, without energy, for double souls

One King and two lesser demons per network. Each demon appears on the Throne as an animated 3D model, ancient and unsettling. The difficulty lives in Solomonic Brass, a pulsing alloy forged by a brutal Afrit ritual with a worthy sacrifice.

Balance

Automation should save work, not create resources. Everything costs AE energy that scales with the mob's strength; there is no way to multiply souls; drop patterns yield less than killing by hand; summoned mobs drop nothing. Every number is configurable in occultae-common.toml.
