Longer sticks let you move the vitae faster, but give you less time to do so. According to my calculations, a stick with 5 mors is optimal, at least with this setup and transportation method. I also squeeze an extra 2 distance out by having the two important atoms come out of distinct animismus glyphs.

I think probably I could get a bit further by having the 5th mors come out of an even more remote animismus, but that requires even more annoying atom transport to build the stick, and I am busy, so I'm not doing it.
