Applied Botanics: Botania Mana in an AE2 Network
Applied Botanics connects Botania's mana to an AE2 network, letting mana be stored and handled as a numerical resource inside your ME system rather than only in pools and spreaders.
Fluix Mana Pool
The 
Fluix Mana Pool is the bridge between the two systems. It runs on mana drawn from the ME system it is attached to, so a pool linked this way no longer depends on a nearby generating flower to stay supplied. Treat it as the point where network mana becomes usable pool mana.
To build one, combine a 
Fabulous Mana Pool with an 
ME Interface in a shapeless recipe. That single conversion turns an ordinary mana pool into the network-fed version.
Mana Drives
Mana can also be committed to storage rather than kept in a pool. This approach reduces a magical resource to plain numbers on a drive, which is exactly the kind of conversion the mod is built around. If you would rather count mana than watch it flow, the storage cells below are how you do it.
Crafting
Twelve recipes make up the crafting side of the mod. They fall into three groups: the housing that every cell needs, the storage cells themselves, and the portable variants.
ME Mana Cell Housing
Every storage option starts with the 
ME Mana Cell Housing, made in a shaped recipe from two 
Quartz Glass, three 
Gaia Spirit, and three 
Manasteel Ingot.
Storage Cells
Each storage cell pairs one ME Mana Cell Housing with a single storage component of the matching size, crafted shapelessly.
- ME Mana Cell Housing +
1k ME Storage Component -> 
1k ME Mana Storage Cell - ME Mana Cell Housing +
4k ME Storage Component -> 
4k ME Mana Storage Cell - ME Mana Cell Housing +
16k ME Storage Component -> 
16k ME Mana Storage Cell - ME Mana Cell Housing +
64k ME Storage Component -> 
64k ME Mana Storage Cell - ME Mana Cell Housing +
256k ME Storage Component -> 
256k ME Mana Storage Cell
Portable Mana Cells
Portable cells use the same housing and component, but add a chest and an energy cell so the mana can travel with you. These are also shapeless recipes.
ME Chest + 1k ME Storage Component + 
Energy Cell + ME Mana Cell Housing -> 
1k Portable Mana Cell- ME Chest + 4k ME Storage Component + Energy Cell + ME Mana Cell Housing ->
4k Portable Mana Cell - ME Chest + 16k ME Storage Component + Energy Cell + ME Mana Cell Housing ->
16k Portable Mana Cell - ME Chest + 64k ME Storage Component + Energy Cell + ME Mana Cell Housing ->
64k Portable Mana Cell - ME Chest + 256k ME Storage Component + Energy Cell + ME Mana Cell Housing ->
256k Portable Mana Cell
Picking a Size
The five tiers differ only in how much they hold, so choose based on how much mana you expect to keep on hand. Storage cells suit a fixed setup wired into the network, while portable cells let you carry a reserve and use it wherever you go. Build the housing first, then decide whether the mana should stay put or come with you.
