I recently installed Magic World 2, after playing for a while and getting my base nice and set up, I tried to start in on magic.

 

I was very familiar with Thaumcraft 3 and wanted to get into Thaumcraft 4, so I tried to make an Apprentice Wand so I could make a Thaumonomicon. After gather the requisite materials I tried to craft the wand, and nothing happened. I placed the materials into the crafting bench and there was no wand on the right indicating that I had done it correctly. I assumed that the recipe had changed and checked the wiki, but that was not the case. After trying several things including: restarting the application, FTB, and my comp; making sure I was using basic wood and not something from another mod to make the crafting bench; and moving to a vanilla biome. To no avail.

 

So I moved on. I decided I would try one of the new magic mechanics and Ars Magica 2 seemed a good place to start. I found the light blue square of water and did as the instruction on the wiki said in order to craft the Arcane Compendium. This also did not work.

 

I am assuming that it is not an issue of misinformation and has to do with my comp or user-error. I would appreciate some help with this. I am somewhat computer literate (enough to get by) but my knowledge does not really extend to fixing problems such as these.

The lowest-level Thaumcraft 4 wand is an Iron-Capped Wooden Wand. You can see how to craft it here. The Apprentice Wand doesn't exist anymore, so anything referring to it is for Thaumcraft 3. As for Ars Magica: if a vanilla book in an item frame near some Ars Magica essence isn't working, that's very strange.

Thank you. I had clicked on the Thaumcraft 4 link but I had no idea it had changed. As for the Ars Magica part, it is entirely possible I have outdated info for that as well. Once again, thank you.
