# Elemental Manipulator

The Elemental Manipulator is an advanced crafting station used to forge specialized elemental gear by infusing base equipment (such as Diamond or Black Gold) with raw elemental power.

### Crafting an Elemental Core

Before using the Manipulator, you must craft an Elemental Core. There are four types of cores, each corresponding to a specific element. They are crafted in a standard Crafting Table using a central gem surrounded by 4 elemental items in a cross pattern:

| **Core Name** | **Central Gem** | **Surrounding Material (x4)** |
| ------------- | --------------- | ----------------------------- |
| Aquarius Core | Sapphire Gem    | Oceanic Shell                 |
| Infernal Core | Amber Gem       | Infernal Stone                |
| Nature Core   | Emerald         | Nature Gift                   |
| Void Core     | Amethyst Gem    | Nihility Shard                |
| {% endstep %} |                 |                               |

{% step %}

### Providing Materials

> Note for Full Sets: Crafting a complete armor set and a weapon will require multiple cores and templates. For example, a full set of armor requires exactly 4 Cores and 4 Templates.

To forge an elemental item, place the required ingredients into the Elemental Manipulator's GUI. A single piece of gear requires:

* 1x Base Item (e.g., Diamond Axe, Black Gold Chestplate, Bow)
* 1x Upgrade Smithing Template (matching the desired element, e.g., Nature Upgrade Smithing Template)
* 1x Elemental Core (matching the desired element)
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Processing & Collection

Once all materials are supplied, the infusion process will begin automatically. The processing time depends on the type of gear being forged:

* Weapons & Tools (Axes, Bows, Crossbows, etc.): 400 ticks (20 seconds).
* Armor Pieces (Helmets, Chestplates, Leggings, Boots): 650 ticks (32.5 seconds).

Wait for the progress bar to complete, and collect your newly forged elemental gear directly from the output slot.
