Focus of Block Shaping

A focus that modifies effects that move, create, or modify blocks. Blocks that you move with effects like Launch, Gravity, Pull, Knockback, etc. will now deal damage to entities they hit. Damage is increased by Spell Damage, block hardness, and the speed of the block. Additionally, effects that target or create blocks will duplicate the rest of the spell targeting the new block or moving block.

Block Targeting

Modifying or creating a block will duplicate the rest of your spell onto that new block. For example, Freeze -> Break will freeze the block, and cast break onto that block. Without the focus, break would only be applied to the block that was hit originally. Effects that will duplicate this target include glyphs such as Conjure Mageblock, Freeze, Break, Exchange, Place Block, and more. Using AOE on these effects will duplicate the spell onto every block.

Entity Targeting

Effects that move blocks will duplicate the rest of the spell onto those moving blocks. To see this in action, try using Conjure Mageblock -> Launch -> Delay -> Knockback to send a block flying in the direction you are looking. This targeting system applies to all moved blocks. Using AOE on block moving effects will let you manipulate many blocks at once.

Spell Examples

Throw Ice: Conjure Water -> Freeze -> Launch -> Delay -> Knockback. Damage and ignite hit targets: Conjure Mageblock -> Launch -> Ignite -> Delay -> Knockback. Ignite TNT: Place Block (TNT) -> Ignite. Throw Exploding Terrain: Launch -> Delay -> Knockback -> Delay -> Explosion. Throw many blocks: Launch -> AOE x2 -> Delay -> Knockback. Pull blocks: Pull -> AOE x2 -> Delay -> Duration Down -> Launch -> Delay -> Knockback. Harvest Sand: Crush (on stone) -> Aoe -> Break
