On a side note, your think tank brains must be dyslexic or something. The books they're reading are upside down, which shows when you use texture packs.
There's no way to completely purify zombie brains to the level of their original intelligence. As you may or may not know, when images enter our eye's lens, it is flipped upside down and projected onto the retina. This signal is sent to the brain. In a healthy, working brain, the visual cortex is able to flip this image to analyze it, but unfortunately, the purified zombie brains do not have their visual cortex fully functional. This is why the books have to be upside down.

Born from a desire to carry around just a little bit more vis for node jarring, Advanced Thaumaturgy has been in development for a few months now, and has become a sort of "Extra Utilities" for Thaumcraft.
The main points of Advanced Thaumaturgy are the Mercurial Wand rod and it's upgrade crystals. It is a rod whose capacity ranges from 500-1000, depending on which Thaumcraft addons you have installed. It, like any other wand rod, can accept essentially any cap, but it's interesting feature is that it is upgradable with several different types of upgrade crystals, ranging from vis recharge to infusion stabilization (without requiring 200 candles littering your altar). This can result in a seriously powerful wand that incorporates the capabilities of several standard wands.
Blocks
Fertilizer: Functioning much like a lamp of growth, the fertilizer keeps a very large area of farmland watered without requiring a water source nearby, and also randomly fertilizes most plants in it's area. It also causes plants that don't normally self spread to do so (mushrooms, flowers, lily pads).
Node Modifer: Allows you to manipulate a jarred aura node in a variety of ways, from rescuing a fading or pale mode, to cultivating a hungry node for sinister and devious purposes.
Essentia Engine: Accepts some types of essentia via pipes and converts it into Buildcraft Energy at an output rate of 10eu/t. Future support for RF, possibly other forms of energy.
Ethereal Jar: With the advent of many mods (AT being the first) that require large amounts of essentia for infusions, the Ethereal Jar provides a more compact storage option for essentia without quite crossing the 'ridiculously stupid' capacity of other mods.
Microlith: Derived from the massive obellisks seen in some worlds, and to a lesser extent, in the Overworld, the Microlith is a base that, when affixed with a special crystal, performs a myriad of functions, akin to the Seals previously available in Thaumcraft 2/3.
Altar Deployer (Creative Only) - A block that, when placed in the world and activated with a wand, sets up an infusion altar, complete with 12 pedestals and a 8x8 layer of candles buried under the altar for stability.
Items
Mercurial Rod: Provides a wand rod with a capacity of 500-1000 vis.
Mercurial Wand: Any wand which uses the Mercurial Core as it's base; upgradable with many types of crystals.
Arcane Crystal: The basis for the Mercurial Wand upgrades as well as the crystals for the Microlith.
Oculus Solis (no texture): A bauble that provides ambient lighting around the player.
Sash of Altivolus (no texture): A bauble that replaces the functionality of the Thaumostatic Harness, providing the ability to fly without requiring constant jar swapping. Quite expensive to make, but pays for itself in the long run by reducing fall deaths from not paying attention to potentia levels, as well as reducing aggravation inherent in the unequip, open, remove, replace, and re-equip process involved with the Harness.
Endstone Chunk: A basic, unfired glob of endstone, shard, and emerald essence. Used to directly produce Arcane Crystals.
Focus: Void Cage (WIP, no recipe): Allows you to cage a mob in a pocket void for transport.
Aerosphere (WIP, no recipe): An item that, while held, creates a slightly lit bubble of air around you, allowing you to safely walk along the ocean floor (or under any other liquid).

Hey guys. Thanks to a couple of generous patrons (as well as my rent complex obtaining a new subsidy thus dropping my rent by $160) I was able to get internet back this month. I'm currently going over all of the stuff Azanor has added to Thaumcraft (like the flux scrubber, gee, where did that idea come from ;p) and cleaning out some features of AT that duplicate them. I'm still not doing great with my dialysis, but I'm feeling very guilty about not being able to update AT for so long, so I feel compelled to get something stable out ASAP. No ETA on a release but be assured it's actively being worked on now, and I'll have something out shortly.

Hey guys... Although technically I *did* abandon AT, I assure you it was definitely not by choice. My utility bill literally doubled this winter and I had to choose between heat or internet. Obviously, internet lost out.
I don't have any open wifi networks near my house, and have no transportation ti leech off of some random fast food wifi. I got lucky today with a doctor's appointment and aside from several hundred emails, I am also saving a copy of bug reports from github, reading the last 15 pages of this forum post, and grabbing an updated copy of Forge and Thaumcraft so that I can work on AT at home.
I am over $500 behind on my utilities so I will not be back permanently for the foreseeable future, looks like it will be abour June before I can get internet back. I know I don't deserve it, but if you can help out, my Patreon is still functional.
Luckily, I do have a followup appoint scheduled in two weeks. I'm hoping to have a bugfix update to upload by then.
Hope to post again soon, and thanks for sticking around
edit: going to be stuck here for 2 more hours :\

I'll definitely update TC tomorrow and give it another go. The issue with only some things rendering in NEI would also stem from the rendering error that's spamming the console. The 5th (or 6th, whatever) item would be the jar, and if it's erroring out on every frame, it would fail to render the rest of the AT items, which is why only 5-6 show up even though they still act as if they're there.
Getting real close, guys. Thank you all for the pastebinned bug reports. Those help a LOT.

Keep in mind, I'm coding against 4.2.0.1 and not anything later. I'll update tonight and see if that changes anything, but I'm not seeing the problem in my dev environment :\ Will look over the pastebin'smore closely.

That's likely due to hard coding by Azanor. I'll check it out to be sure, but there's probably not a lot I can do about that.
I like me arrrrrrs, didn't you know I'm a pirate?
Think I fixed this. Yes, I quoted myself.
Believe this is now fixed.
This is a problem on Azanor's part. He's got several areItemStacksEqual functions in his code, and he uses one in his infusion recipe class (which is why the infusion starts fine) but uses a different one when checking the ingredients during an actual infusion (which is why it won't actually eat the essences during infusion). I've temporarily changed the recipe, and reported the issue on his tracker. With the introduction of the vis network, I'll likely overhaul how the modifier works entirely, which might entail a recipe change as well.
Fixed, actually tested both client and server builds in the IDE this time.
New test build, have at it

It's not out of the question
I didn't add it to the main post because I wanted to limit the test build to people that actually somewhat follow along with the AT community, aka people that bother reading past the first post. I've found that tossing test builds on the OP tend to lead to clueless people grabbing it because it's the 'latest' and then bitching because something doesn't work, without providing any sort of constructive feedback.
On a side note, been on a downward kick with my dialysis this weekend, which is normal but was a bit more harsh this weekend. Should feel better tomorrow though, and I'll pick back up on bug fixes (have the void cap fix to finish, then the new startup crash, and then the new bugs on page 10).

Fixed server crash on startup
Rod capacity scaling fixed.
No idea what a 'void aspected wand' is -- need more details before I can test that.
