NWES

• T
  Tier block × 13

  Every T is the same block, and that block’s Tier sets the rune’s strength.
• ↑
  Signature block × 4

  Each arm holds a Tier 1+ block other than the Tier block, or stays empty (air or Tier 0). Read by compass direction, the arms spell the rune’s signature.
• Air or a Tier 0 block × 4

  Leave these as air, or fill them with Tier 0 blocks such as dirt or stone.
• Activation block

  The glowing cell is the one to click.
• Spent

  Cells with a corner mark are used up when the rune wakes.

Keys

How it works

Phase Block forges a designator for vanishing walls. Hold an item that cannot be placed, such as a stick, and right-click the heart. The pattern burns away, signature and all, and the item becomes a Phase Block designator.

Right-click blocks with the designator to mark them. The block takes the phase enchantment. (51 left) Marked blocks that touch and share a signature form a set. Right-click any block of the set and the whole set phases to air. To bring it back, right-click the face of a block beside the gap, facing into it.

Good to know

• The second shape is always air, so you only ever shape the solid one.
• A Lock Block in the set holds it shut and drives it by click or redstone.
• Break a marked block with a sword to cut its magic away.

See Toggles, locks, and phases for sets, editing, seals, and redstone.
