Non-thaumaturges with mundane technology have problems with this type of situation too.
However, as the thaumonomicon itself and my own experience sees, times like this can go on forever, sufficiently advanced thaumaturges will get locked into a fight and waste time, time that should be used for studying the secrets of reality. Furthermore it leads to unfortunate losses in resources that I also need.
I have decided to correct this affront by using one of the ways that are most familiar to those who use more mundane technology.
Explosive ordinance.
Normal TNT will give no desired outcomes and using normal mundane technology is not in my style, thus this situation requires something... special... @@ -145,8 +145,8 @@ thaumicwonders.research.flux_capacitor.text.stage.1=I've noticed that Primordial thaumicwonders.research.flux_capacitor.text.stage.2=My studies have revealed that, with the right manipulation, these pearls will draw in and bind flux energy to themselves. Utilizing this new discovery, I've designed a device I call a Flux Capacitor, partly based around the same principles that Vis Capacitors use. Once placed, these devices will slowly draw in flux from the aura and contain it. Each capacitor can only hold a small amount of flux in this way, but that's better than nothing.Applying a redstone signal will rapidly discharge the contained flux back into the aura. Because the capacitors are portable, I can effectively move flux around to areas I can better clean up, I could also just throw them away, but that seems so wasteful.
I'll have to research a more permanent solution later, for now, this utility will be quite helpful in the cleanup of areas infested with flux first and foremost. Alternatively, this can ease my flux experiments. thaumicwonders.research.transmuter_stone.title=Mineral Transmutation -thaumicwonders.research.transmuter_stone.text.stage.1=I suspect that I may be able to do more with the Catalyzation Chamber than simply purify metal ores.

It turns out that by enriching an Alchemist's Stone with Permutatio essentia, it becomes something else entirely.
This new stone allows for limited transmutation of certain minerals. It only works on certain pairs of metals, allowing me to turn one into the other and back again, but this is useful in and of itself.
It seems to produce flux slightly more often than the basic Alchemist's Stone, however. +thaumicwonders.research.transmuter_stone.text.stage.1=I suspect that I may be able to do more with the Catalyzation Chamber than simply purify metal ores.
