Magical Ore Processing

[Alan19]

Magic Crystal ore from EBWizardry cannot be doubled with a machine and other magic ores have rather disappointing processing outputs.

• Divine suggested that a Philosopher's Gold mortar could be used for magical ore processing.
• Belathus suggested magical ores should have poor outputs or cannot be processed in machines.

Maybe we could use starlight infusion or the infernal furnace to more efficiently (2x or 3x) magical ores?

Are there any other magic mod blocks that increase ore output? Maybe the conjuration catalyst or alfheim portal could serve as Botania's ore processing method?

[belathus]

Okay, so we have a gold mortar. Admittedly, I forgot about it when adding stuff to the various mortar recipes. Maybe it should be a philosopher's gold mortar.

My thoughts is that there is no normal gold mortar (who would make a mortar out of gold?), only philosopher's gold, and that can be used as Divine suggests.
