Reagent

- Stabilised Anti-Gravity Filament Segment

Product

- Tonic of Transmogrification

Building upon previous research, it's found using a segment of a previously studied Anti-Gravity Filament and stabilising it can create a tonic that seems to alter the humours of whoever ingests it. Curiously, it appears to transfuse with the very essence of the person, drawing out their true form. Never before has such a property been researched. Thus, the Imperial University has given its elite alchemists access to the controversial Glyph of Animismus to study this behaviour in more depth.

Now here's the actual notes on the design process! I picked the input because, well, with this I only need to grab three inputs to make the output. It's also quite funny considering the input is a subset of the output! So I don't need to do much assembly since six out of the eight atoms in the molecule are already where they need to be. Quite the fun puzzle!

For the actual machine, I have a few remarks. The limiting arm in this solve is definitely arm 7, which with this current design forces the machine to operate at 8r. What I find quite funny about arm 7 is how every time it grabs a lone Vitae, it's always on top of the hex where the Vitae would spawn using the Glyph of Animismus. It's just this particular glyph seems to be broken half the time and doesn't actually yield a Mors when it's broken! I enjoy that the bonding station to the top right is always active and the near-misses every time a new product is lopped onto the bonding station. Also note the Mors disposal arm (arm 11) almost colliding with the incoming reagent becoming two Vitae atoms. I don't know how I managed to squeeze so much stuff into this small footprint. Unfortunately though this is CGA and not CAG so I may end up eating these words.
