I would love to see better options of Taint/dark magic. In Thaumcraft a low Vis high Taint area is a terrible place to live, since Taint is virtually useless and even the Dark Infuser items require more Vis than Taint.
I'd love to see support for role playing a corrupted wizard who harnesses dark powers and actively attempts to corrupt the area he's in to boost his ability to produce dark magic items and power dark machines.
love that series. of course, in order to mark yourself, it would require special ink that draws from the aura
For lesser Marks use less aura higher more powerful Marks more aura. With a gui that has set areas to marks yourself and if you want a 'permanent' mark to disappear you have to go through several steps to remove it.

I like the idea that vis and taint are two sides of a coin.
Basic Idea
An alchemist (or whatever we Thaumcrafters call ourselves) can choose to focus on one of the two extremes (vis/taint) or to sit somewhere in the middle. Someone who focuses on vis would have access to machines and equipment that someone focused on taint would not have, and vice versa. A more balanced focus would be able to get the basic machines from each side, but not the more advanced stuff.
Implementation
You would first need to force a balance between vis and taint in the aura. Unlike how the two sources work independently currently, there would be a finite amount of energy available and split between vis and taint. For each tick increase in vis, taint reduces by an equal amount. Then create vis & taint requirements for the creation and operation of each machine. Simple machines have low requirements, but in order to build and operate the more advanced machines you would need to adjust the aura accordingly.
Example
Let's say that the Thaumic Enchanter is no longer a requirement to create an Occult Enchanter. The Thaumic Enchanter is the vis version of the advanced enchanting table, and the Occult Enchanter is the taint version. Each would operate as the Occult Enchanter does currently (choose your enchants, spend energy instead of character levels), but instead of Brains in a Jar used to boost the vis version you might use crystals or another equivalent source. The two enchanting tables would work the same, but the available enchants would differ. The vis version might have access to Potency and Self Repair where the taint version would have Soul Stealer and Vampiric.
Additional Ideas
The aura could also boost the items you are using, meaning that a high vis aura might boost a wand of lightning where a high taint aura would boost a wand of bone. It would give someone a reason to spread taint across Minecraftia, especially once we get multiplayer and need to start defending our territories.
I was thinking some form of upgraded Quesitum. You put in an artifact or knowledge repository (zombie brains, etc) and it extracts the info over time. However, the type of information is extracts can have effects on the aura. If it isb tainted, the aura becomes tainted as more and more tainted knowledge is researched. If it is eldritch, the area will become warped and twisted from knowledge that man was not ment a to know. I can't think of anything else right now.
Here's an idea.
Narcomancy—magic related to dreams.
Either you could have a special bed that you sleep in or a "dream seal" above the head of your bed. Either way, it would collect your "dreams", which could be extracted and then utilized in some way. What they would be used for, I don't know.
Just a thought.

Go to sleep in the Narcomancy bed after listening to the disc 11, receive visions of Herobrine. Collect enough and horrible things start happening.

It sounds a bit wrong.
Maybe Oneiromancy?

Hijacking is probably the least cool thing in the world.
fooled me too XD but using a monolith as a portal makes sense, if it goes to an eldritch world that is... also liking the varying paths (dreams artificer dark light nature) I like having options XD
Just thought of a nice little item type for my earlier item production idea. Suppose a branch of research were focused on making biological organisms produce resources that nature never intended them to.
Examples: a tree that grows chunks of ham instead of leaves, sheep with iron wool, etc...
Since these organisms wouldn't naturally exist, they have to draw on the local aura to support themselves and if the aura isn't strong enough, they die off. Perhaps they would even produce taint since they have no place in the natural order of things...
