This is the online version of the Hexical documentation.

Hexical Changes

I feel strangely more in tune with the ambient media around me. It feels friendlier somehow. I can even feel it rippling around me, responding to my actions, as if engaging with me. The media also feels more malleable, more workable; I sense I am able to manipulate it into more precise and specific specialized effects. I can also bring up my Hex Notebook by pressing Open Hex Notebook.

I also find my tools more familiar. I don't require the same level of caution with my Staff and can move around during casting, handy for chasing down targets that get out of my line of sight before I can finish my raycast. I shouldn't become too inattentive though, Nature has not become more forgiving of my miscalculations. I can also write directly into my Abacus with Scribe's Gambit.

Lightning Rod Staff

By fixing a Block of Amethyst to some Lightning Rods, I can make quite the impressive Staff. It is quite weighty to wield but feels absolutely electrifying to use.

I learned there are troubles
Of more than one kind.
Some come from ahead
And some come from behind.

But I've bought a big bat.
I'm all ready, you see.
Now my troubles are going
To have troubles with me!

Gauntlet Staff

Staves are quite heavy to wield and finnicky to hold. Should I tire of them, I can construct a gauntlet-like device that will allow me to grasp and warp the media to my will with my own hands.

Even the wand itself seems impractical to me. If you need something to grasp and shape the aura, it should be something appropriate. Something like a glove.

- Strange notes I have recovered from an odd book. Clearly this "aura" they speak of is media.

Grimoires

Click to show recipes Click to hide recipes

Grimoire

By encrusting an Enchanted Book with Charged Amethyst and Edified Wood, it traps media within the pages like an echo chamber. I can then introduce pattern-to-pattern-list bindings for the Grimoire to keep bouncing endlessly inside.

When I then cast the pattern associated with a pattern list with my Staff and the Grimoire in my inventory, the pattern expands with a faint sound of a Hex being cast. I create shortcuts for tedious tasks with this, like the raycast mantra or large patterns. The Grimoire can even hijack Nature's patterns, to overwrite or add extra functionality.

If there's a book that you want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it.

Scarab Beetle

A Scarab Beetle is an adorable little amulet that is highly sensitive to media. When activated, they can intercept patterns rejected by Nature.

Specifically anything connected to my person casts a pattern that has no meaning to Nature, the scarab steps in and prevents the mishap.

Whatever. Go my scarab.

Click to show recipes Click to hide recipes

Scarab Beetle

I can instruct my scarab how to judge these "illegal" patterns and how to replace it with a different set of patterns instead. This allows me to make new patterns that work seamlessly for only me, even in casting devices.

Teaching them involves Scribe's Gambit to teach a Hex to them. While scarabs proudly display their learned Hex, they resist mind-reading from Scribe's Reflection. Teaching them new instructions requires asking them to forget first.

When an illegal pattern is cast, an active scarab will push the rejected pattern to the stack rather than allowing a mishap. It will then cast its learned Hex before allowing the remainder of the original Hex to continue.

The power scarabs allow is to create my own patterns that will work seamlessly in my Staff or casting devices I wield.

I shall find these patterns concerning the meta-manipulation of patterns useful if I want to implement advanced processing. I could theoretically create entire infinite families of patterns, similar to the number literals and Bookkeeper's Gambits.

Animated Scrolls

Animated Scrolls are mixed with a pinch of Amethyst Dust, enchanting the ink to move and wiggle like the patterns I draw with my Staff. Not only that, they can display lists of patterns.

You can't be a proper writer without a touch of madness, can you?

I can freely write and rewrite the scroll's patterns at any time, along with reading it back out. The scroll accepts only a list of pattern iotas or a lone pattern iota, which is automatically wrapped in a list. The Animated Scroll shows one pattern at a time which cycles to the next one once per second. Even when I write the same list to two of them at different moments of their cycle, they display in sync.

Small Animated Scroll

Medium Animated Scroll

Large Animated Scroll

The next few pages detail some free spells I've found for the manipulation of Animated Scrolls. The changes caused by these spells can usually be reverted by casting the spell on the scroll again.

Casting Carpets

I can weave Amethyst into any ordinary rug to create this wonderfully comfy rug. Stepping on the carpet, I can feel the media coursing under my feet. It feels disorienting but surprisingly puts me at peace.

I feel very inspired, as if I were wearing a Scrying Lens although weaker. My Hexcasting vision seems to have been expanded.

Casting Carpet

Why is the red carpet red? It can be any color.

Hex Candles

When ignited for the first time, either magically or with a Flint and Steel, these delightful little candles have pale white flames. They also seem to not extinguish when flooded. When someone interacts with it though, it copies their pigment. I can also give it with a pigment item to change its color directly. To extinguish, Sneak Use Item/Place Block.

Hex Candle

The doctor found himself in an immense cave lined with countless quivering candles, each representing the duration of a life.

Media Jar

I can melt down all my Amethyst in this little jar! Unfortunately, the glass is too thick for me to draw media through it, although I have read tales that ancient Hexcasters were able to solve this issue and were able to bottle up liquid media in some kind of flask to use in their Hexes. However, this Media Jar also has some fascinating properties for recycling media.

Media Jar

There, sure enough, she saw the faint translucent outline of something aboout the size of a hen's egg. There was just a touch of color in it, a pale sea-green, soft and shimmering and very beautiful.

I can dunk items into the liquid in order to imbue the item with pure media. The media seeps into the item and alters it in a variety of surprising and unpredictable ways.

I can only imagine what would happen if I were to ingest such a concentrated form of media.

Media Logs

With Hexes casting Hexes, it is easy to lose track of my patterns and Nature is all too happy to punish my carelessness. Hexcasters of old had a device they called an Error Media Log that recorded the last few patterns cast even by other patterns, the last mishap, and the stack right before mishap in order to help them track down their errors. All Media Logs share the same memory.

Click to show recipes Click to hide recipes

item.hexical.media_log

Sneak-Use Item/Place Blocking clears the Media Log and starts recording until the next mishap.

Now you may only see a pile of receipts, but I see a story. I can see where this story is going. It does not look good.

Periwinkle

Periwinkle

There is an long-extinct family of flowers called Periwinkles. In addition to looking pretty, they have great calming abilities; ancient Hexcasters used them to cope with the great horrors that comes with the Art.

A special flower for a special person.

Click to show recipes Click to hide recipes

Lei

Once I have recovered some, I can craft the flowers into a Lei! The Lei gives a small boost to my Hexcasting reach, not unlike a Scrying Lens although without the same ability to perceive extra information.

When worn, it prevents Nature from claiming my life as payment for Hexes.

Unlike other armor, a Lei can be placed on other players if they are not currently wearing anything! Ancient Hexcasters did this as a sign of endearment and affection due to the Lei's protective and calming abilities, as well as the rarity of obtaining the flowers.

Potions of Wooleyeing

These Potions let me forget some of the eldritch knowledge Hexcasting provides. A base dose removes my ability to trade my own life for media, useful if I do not want to be carried off from a mere miscalculation. Higher potencies remove the ability to cast great spells entirely, possibly useful as an offensive tool.

It is unseen.

Potion of Wooleyeing

I can brew one by boiling a Periwinkle into a simple Awkward Potion. Glowstone Dust and Redstone Dust have their standard amplifying and lengthening effects, as with most potions.

Sentinel Beds

The Lodestone inside seems to make this block and the entities shoved in it always within my Hexes' ambit, although I prefer to believe the Wool invites my Sentinel. Cats seem to find it cozy too, like a lit furnace or a bed.

I hear rumors of ancient Hexcasters using this as some kind of iota storage from any range but I struggle to imagine how.

Click to show recipes Click to hide recipes

Sentinel Bed

A comfy bed for my sentinel, it always seems eager to return to it.

Hand Lamps

So this is the subject of a thousand years of rumor! To think a mere wandering trader could be in possession of such a strong artifact. The Hand Lamp emanates a vague residue of media, vacuous in feeling... it reminds me of the hollow media structure of a Focus that enables it to store iota. I can also sense a presence inside the Lamp with similar magical capabilities to my own.

The signs are unmistakable; within the Lamp is a living, sentient mind, kept alive and trapped via magic not yet known to me. The Lamp's design is simply ingenious, if its use weren't so horrible. When I hold down the trigger, my patterns are revealed to the "genie" as I will be calling it, and it, out of desperation and boredom, casts.

To say it casts is an understatement. It casts EVERY INSTANT. When holding the switch after wishing, I am treated to a splendid unceasing gush of media. I can only estimate it must be around twenty times every second. The genie performs the casting with incredible efficiency, producing little of the sounds and particles that accompany other casting methods.

I have developed some useful patterns to communicate with the genie for information, documented on the next few pages. These patterns must only be cast by the genie within the Lamp, lest I succumb to the Impersonate Genie mishap.

I am not a tool for your convenience.
Strange murmuring occasionally emitted from the Lamp. Likely disregardable.

On Genies

Hexcasting burns out the mind from the energy of thought, flooding the consciousness, inundating every neuron... it's euphoric. For Staves, casting devices, and grand constructs, the rate of casting is slow enough that a mind can recuperate; I will never hurt myself just by casting too many patterns. With the speeds that Lamps operate at, though, even a mind perfected for Hexcasting can feel strain.

Fortunately, the Lamp captures the media that a lesser casting device would have wasted creating noises and particles, and uses that to repair the genie's mind. Almost zero media is wasted; truly incredible. My only concern is when the Lamp runs dry. Fortunately, I can refill them with media.

The Lamp seems capable of holding a near endless amount of media. When I fuel it further when it already contains media, it simply grows its storage reservior to accommodate. This is truly a marvel of Hexcasting technology.

Upon closer inspiration, the genie within the Lamp seems to just be an extremely minimal, almost artificial network of thought and media. I hesitate to call it a creature, more of a wisp. Perhaps if I replaced it with a more complex, sentient mind, I can induce some great change. The mind must be of upmost quality to survive the process and still retain a shred of talent; a villager that has spent its life honing a craft to perfection will do quite nicely.

Hexical Patterns

Pattern Manipulation

I have discovered a set of patterns that concern the construction and manipulation of other patterns. Strangely, they can be used to construct patterns that are impossible to draw with a Staff, although fortunately I don't believe Nature has associated an effect with any of these "illegal" patterns. They can be considered free to use with my Scarab Beetle.

The numbers returned by Chirographer's Purification correspond to individual strokes in the pattern. The diagonal stroke that travels upwards and rightwards is labeled 0 and all the other strokes are labelled incrementally in a clockwise manner.

If I pass in a list of numbers outside the 0-5 range into Calligrapher's Purification, it will apply a modulo to coerce numbers into the 0-5 range.

These lists have multiple fascinating properties. By adding or subtracting constant values, I can rotate the pattern. I can splice off the beginning and ends to check for pattern prefixes and suffixes. In cyclical patterns, I can rotate the list by moving the first element to the end or vice versa to cycle the starting position. By carefully altering numbers with list manipulation, I can also make some kind of backwards stroke.

Special Raycasts

Telepathy

Media is the energy of thought and consequently, it can interact with thoughts as well. Unfortunately or perhaps fortunately for me, the minds of players are too resistant to be swayed by Hexes and even the minds of villagers resist tampering. There is a notable exception though: my own mind is open to my own media, allowing me to read my own intentions and write thoughts to myself.

Mage Blocks

The blocks from Conjure Block last forever, are consequently a pain to clean up, and are not too versatile. Luckily, Nature offers an elegant and flexible alternative. These mage blocks come with a suite of modifiers. I could even stack multiple modifiers on one block or reapply a modifier to toggle it off.

Autographs

Using precise manipulation of media, I can magically etch my signature onto any item! It must be done with my Staff as proof of intentionality.

An autographed item proudly displays every autographer's name in shimmering Pigment.

I disagree strongly with whatever work this quote is attached to.

Because an autograph is strongly imprinted on an item, Erase Item is insufficient to remove it; a specialized spell is required to extripate autographs.

However, a spell capable of doing by its very nature will also destroy a Focus's contents or a casting device's Hex and media. Perhaps that is for the better—my autographed Hexcasting gifts can be uniquely assured to be untampered.

Dyes

The dye spell and its specialized iota allows me to alter the color of blocks and entities. The dye iota represents a color, but also seems to represent the potential to be colored. For example, attempting to get the dye of grass returns Null but getting the dye of undyed terracotta returns uncolored, which I can use to "bleach" dyeable blocks.

The valid block targets for this spell include beds, candles, cakes with candles, carpets, concrete, concrete powder, glazed terracotta, sand into red sand and vice versa, sandstone and all blocks derived from it into its red variant and vice versa, shulker boxes, stained glass, stained glass panes, terracotta, tulips into their multiple colors, and wool blocks. As for entities, cat collars, dog collars, specklikes, shulkers, and item entities of all of the above blocks are valid.

Magic Missile

The projectile has a few interesting properties. It automatically disappears after roughly ten seconds or shatters upon hitting an entity or block. It pierces all forms of armor and protection. It is also unaffected by gravity and water drag.

A weak but enchanting sparkling projectile.

The first vector is conjuration location and is quite esoteric: no wonder most Hexcasters conjure it in front of them. The basic gist is a vector, where my head's position is the origin, my facing is the Z+ axis, the vector pointing up from my head is the Y+ axis, and the vector from my head pointing rightwards is the X+ axis. For basic purposes, the zero vector conjures it inside my head and a vector resembling (0, 0, n) conjures it n blocks in front of me.

The second vector is velocity and thankfully much less complicated. It is a simple offset vector, similar to the one that Impulse takes in. Unlike Impulse though, this vector can be of arbitrary magnitude without incurring additional costs.

Unlike Arrows though, Magic Missiles will not increase in damage simply by travelling faster. They also apply an odd knockback effect that ignores the entity's mass or the projectile's speed.

Pigment Manipulation

Like how I can manipulate dyes with Hexcasting, I can also manipulate pigments. I can even store multiple of them and have my Hexes randomly choose one to give me for example.

Prestidigitation

This spell differs from all others I've seen. Rather than a single specific effect, this spell seems to combine dozens of small effects into a single spell. It targets a vast array of blocks and entities, and I am constantly finding uses for it. I have documented them on the following pages. I can think of it as general basic magic tricks.

I've compiled all of its recorded uses from my notes: opens and close fence gates, trapdoors, and doors of all materials; flicks levers and presses buttons; holds down and releases pressure plates; extinguishes fire and soul fire; lights and extinguishes candles and campfires; rings bells; strips wood; carves pumpkins; makes a note block play its sound; triggers dispensers and droppers; dries mud into clay; turns most soil blocks into path blocks and path blocks into tilled soil...

toggles Redstone lamps; drain cauldrons; modifies the state of Redstone repeaters, comparators, and daylight sensors, ignites and deprimes TNT and creepers; shear sheep; give and take arms from armor stands; makes squid squirt ink; makes pandas sneeze; removes the helmet of a snow golem; make pufferfish instantly swell up; take honeycomb from beehives and nests, and activates some kind of "great work" whatever that is.

Wristpocket

I can perform the standard magic trick of vanishing an item and bringing it back. The item hides in the wristpocket, where I can use media to manipulate it. The wristpocketed item stays with me even after death and I can recall it once I can cast again.

Because making something disappear isn't enough; you have to bring it back.

If given a vector, it conjures my wristpocketed item at that vector. If given an item entity, my wristpocket either pulls in or swaps with the item, depending on whether it is empty.

If your sleight of hand causes you to break eye contact with your audience, it is too advanced for your skill level.

If given an entity, it interacts with the entity using the wristpocketed item. If given a vector, it interacts with the block or space with the item. Because it's my mind's hand, it will not work for casting methods not attached to a player.

A spectral, floating hand appears at a point you choose within range.

Regardless of the time required to usually eat the item, its special effects, my own dietary restrictions, cooldowns on eating the item, or if I'm full, this spell makes me consume it instantly.

Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.

Specks

I can conjure an image of an iota into the world, called a speck. Nature allows me to customize them quite extensively, altering their size, thickness of stroke, and more. They also take on my pigment color. Once they are in the world, I can move, rotate, and otherwise alter them for free, regardless of range.

Hexical Spells

The particles are harmless and flutter through the air for quite long until they reach the ground. The first vector is a position and the second controls direction. If it is a number, it indicates speed to explode in in all directions; a vector makes the particles tend towards the given direction. Both the number and the vector's magnitude may not exceed 2.

The rest is confetti.

The first vector controls position and the second vector controls color. Each component should range from 0 to 1 and corresponds to red, green, and blueness respectively. The final number dictates how long the sparkle should remain in twentieths of a second, up to five seconds.

All that glitters is not gold.

The first vector controls position and the second vector controls color. Each component should range from 0 to 1 and corresponds to red, green, and blueness respectively. The final number dictates how long the ping should remain in twentieths of a second, up to ten seconds.

LOOK AT THIS

If the block is not an inventory, the block is full, or the item can not be inserted for any other reason, nothing happens. Items that overflow the inventory are simply left in the original item entity.

Upon request, I can also perform a hug.

If no item could be extracted, the spell pushes Null. Only one item will be extracted at a time similar to a hopper.

Upon request, I can also perform a hug.

More specifically, this spell acts as though a dispenser suddenly appears with the item loaded and fires the dispenser.

If this spell is used for any type of Arrow, the price increases to a full Charged Amethyst. I wonder why Nature would have such an adverse reaction to this specific application. Perhaps I would be too powerful?

Upon request, I can also perform a hug.

The target item must be one that is possible to make from the item entity in a stone-cutter.

I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free.

This spell will blind me for a quite a duration if I attempt to expose the innerworkings of an already-written device. For a moment though, I believe I had glimpsed the Hex before my eyes and brain filled with media.

Nowadays time runs by electricity and vibrating crystals of quarts and goodness know what else..
- clearly a reference to Amethyst.

The orientation is an axis vector representing the direction I would face when placing the block. For blocks like doors and stairs, orientation should be either up or down and horizontal orientation determines direction.

In the psychology of the modern civilized human being, it is difficult to overstate the significance of the house.

The block under the target position must have a flat top surface to allow rooting. It does not necessarily need to be able to support the flower naturally, although any little movement may cause the flower to break if conjured on an incompatible block. Alternatively, the spell will fill a flower pot if possible.

There was a fool who praised me for the magic I acquired. That's all.

The block that it is into must be empty or extremely weak. The illumination strength can be a number between 1 and 15, inclusive. If I target a space where a light already exists, the spell is free and particleless.

The light blinds us. It is only in the dark that we see clearly.

Regardless of amount of breath restored, this spell costs exactly one dust so I should ideally wait as long as I safely can before casting this spell. I will find it useful while diving, being teleported into a block, or even keeping sea creatures alive on land.

The best way to observe a fish is to become a fish.

This spell does nothing but still consumes my media if a parrot can not replicate the sound.

I can already imagine this spell's use for playing practical jokes on my friends and enemies. Perhaps Nature does permit me to have fun occasionally with my Hexes.

Hisss...

Projectiles

While conjuring projectiles from pure media manipulation would be prohibitively expensive, Nature offers a set of cheaper spells for some projectiles.

These spells push the conjured entity to the stack, which I must manually propel in my desired direction.

Can I offer you a nice egg in this trying time?

There exist other spells too complex to be given justice in this chapter—I have dedicated other chapters to them.

Magic Missile is a standard quick and versatile spear of amethyst that can be produced and fired at arbitrary speed.

I can also utilize fireworks for battle.

Finally, a certain spell allows the ability to fire potions and arrows.

Hexcasting Effects

Conjurable Delights

Ancient Hexcasters seem to have devised spells to conjure a multitude of items, to both further their Art and to convenience their collaboration. I can only link these items together by their being vaguely edible.

What nicer thing can you do for somebody than make them breakfast?

Hexbursts are edible items created by taking an iota and wrapping media around it, over and over until it gains size. When eaten, a Hexburst instantly adds its iota to the consumer's stack. I shall find this property considerably useful if I ever want to trade my entity reference. Should my stack have an unclosed Introspection, it pushes it into the forming list.

Hextitos are triangular crunchy snacks I can conjure. When consumed, the consumer immediately casts its Hex, using their Staff's stack unlike a regular casting device. I shall find them useful to make simple actions like raycasts or to give out limited uses of a Hex I have designed. If a consumer's stack has an unclosed Introspection, it will not cast, making it quite safe to hand out.

If read with Scribe's Reflection, it returns a unit vector pointing towards the location inside it. In other dimensions, the Compass spins erratically and reading it yields only Null. Once I am done with a Compass, I can eat it as a light snack.

Aye, the compass doesn't point North. But we're not trying to find North, are we?

Conjure Spike

I hear rumors of a sorcerer illager that can summon fangs from the ground. While I find it hard to believe that villagers can shift media, I have taken inspiration from those myths and created this spell that brings forth spikes from the ground to skewer targets.

Each spike takes about a half second to strike and deal a hefty three full hearts of damage before slowly sinking back into the ground. If I cast this spell where a spike has not yet disappeared, it will do nothing. Spikes will also throw back targets in the direction they were conjured.

Tchotchkes

Tchotchkes are not unlike Cyphers. They have an internal media reservior and break when they run out, unable to take from my inventory. They can not be recharged or reprogrammed, and Erase Item simply destroys it. Its advantages lay in its conjurability and input interception.

When I Attack/Destroy or Use Item/Place Block while holding a Tchotchke, it intercepts my input, preventing me from interacting with the world. It then casts the Hex I gave it, starting the stack with either false or true, corresponding to Attack/Destroy or Use Item/Place Block respectively.

I find ancient Hexcasters to be quite fond of these due to their versatility and the ability to conjure them as needed. Tchotchkes also feature an iota storage that can only be edited from the tchotchke itself, allowing each tchotchke to essentially act as a fully-contained magical trinket.

Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.

Lesser Sentinels

A bit of sentinel theory: a Sentinel is metaphysically-detached shard of my Self. I can banish, query, and summon it via link but each interaction requires a bit of media to facilitate the "handshake". I can give even more of my Self, essentially creating a separate yet near-equally conscious fragment that can cast Hexes beyond my regular reach and even "walk".

Lesser Sentinels are a more diminutive construction: little more than a tagged pocket of media blessed with a whisper of my Self. They are just enough to hold their ground where deployed and to be visible to me.

Due to their lesser sentience, I can establish connections, reposition, banish, and bring forth more of them with ease. I can only have one Sentinel out at once; I can have a virtually endless number of Lesser Sentinels.

Pyrotechnics

I have stumbled across some spells related to pyrotechnics. The media hums quite festively around the patterns, as if they were once used for grand celebrations, although I shudder to imagine how effective they'd be as a weaponized projectile.

You don’t need to say anything. Just watch the fireworks.

Basic Theory

The first two parameters of the spell are simple position and velocity. The third parameter dictates flight duration as a number from 1 to 3. I can imagine it as being the amount of Gunpowder I would add to a firework rocket.

The remaining parameters can be imagined as specifications for a virtual firework star.

Shape

The fourth parameter controls the shape of the explosion, based off a number 0 to 3.
- 0 is a simple, small ball-shaped explosion.
- 1 is a large ball-shaped explosion.
- 2 is a star-shaped explosion.
- 3 is a large creeper face-shaped explosion.

Colors

The fifth and sixth parameters are lists of dyes. The first list controls the colors of the firework's initial burst, while the second controls the colors that the first particles fade into. There must be at least one dye specified for the first list, but the second list can be empty if I do not want any colors to fade into.

Special Effects

The seventh parameter controls whether the particles of the firework flicker, as if adding glowstone to the virtual Firework Star.

The eighth parameter controls whether the particles of the firework leave trails, as if adding a diamond to the virtual Firework Star.

Shaders

These spells revolve around manipulating my light receptors, allowing me to alter my vision for utility and fun. These spells break upon death or me leaving this world and returning at a later date.

You sense that something is off. You feel in harmony with the magic. Maan, that color smells interesting. Usual concepts don't apply.

Greater Blink

Greater Blink is a significantly cheaper alternative to Greater Teleport. It also does not carry the risk of splattering my items upon arrival. However, it only has pitiful range compared to Greater Teleport and its destination calculations are... esoteric. Its target is also exclusively myself.

A vector of (0, 0, 1) would teleport me one block in the direction I'm facing. A vector of (0, 1, 0) would teleport me one block "up" in the direction of the top of my head. A vector of (0, 1, 10) would teleport me ten blocks forward in the direction I'm facing and one block upwards from the top of my head. A vector of (1, 0, 0) teleports me one block to my right.

Long Jaunt! Longer than you think-

Meshes

Meshes are the natural evolution of specks. Rather than being restricted to iotas and patterns on a two-dimensional plane, meshes accept a list of vectors in three-dimensional space and connect them with lines, allowing for infinite creative constructions. It's also responsive to most patterns used for manipulation of specks.

When initally conjured, the mesh is invisible and must be woven to gain form. The constraints for the list of vectors provided to a mesh are quite minimal. The list must be no more than 32 vectors long, and those vectors must have magnitudes less than 10. The mesh will then connect each of those points.
