The spells catalogued here are purported to be of legendary difficulty and power. They seem to have been recorded only sparsely (for good reason, the texts claim). It's probably just the ramblings of extinct traditionalists, though -- a pattern's a pattern.
These are patterns to manipulate Block, Item, and Text Displays (BITs for short).
Oddly, Scout's Distillation does not seem to work on these, thus I must depend on Entity Prfn. or Zone Dstn.
Summon Block Display (vector, string →)
Summons a Block Display entity at the given position, displaying the given block. (The string must be the internal name i.e "minecraft:dirt", not "Dirt").
Costs about a Charged Amethyst
Summon Item Display (vector, string →)
Summons an Item Display entity at the given position, displaying the given item (The string must be the internal name i.e "minecraft:stick", not "Stick").

Entity Purification: BIT (vector → entity)

Zone Distillation: BIT (vector, number → [entity])
Take a position and a maximum distance on the stack, and combine them into a list of BIT's near the position.
Zone Distillation: Not BIT (vector, number → [entity])
Take a position and a maximum distance on the stack, and combine them into a list of non-BIT's near the position.
Translate BIT (BIT, vec →)
Moves the BIT by the given offset.
(Compounds with multiple uses!)
Costs an amount of Amethyst Dust equal to the length of the offset vector.
Rotate BIT (BIT, quat →)
Rotates the BIT by the given Quaternion.
(Does not compound with multiple uses!)
Costs about one Amethyst Dust.
Scale BIT (BIT, vec →)
Scales the BIT by the given vector.
(Does not Compound with multiple uses!)
