This was originally inteded to just allow spectrum crystals to be used as media, but somewhat snowballed.
Current Features:

- Sympathetic Extraction : Pass in an ItemEntity, ItemStack, or Mote, and break a block with all enchantments on the provided item.
- Plasma Beam : Fire a beam of plasma from one location in ambit to another. Basically the old Ephemera plasma beam spell, but no longer limited to just wisps.
