An unpaired Block or Fluid page chooses a compatible feature from the Age seed:
full blocks can become Rocks or Floating Islands; source fluids can become one
of the lake features. Flat and Void terrain can only use Floating Islands from
this pool, while Cave terrain has no compatible material feature. A page-free
full blocks can become Rocks, Floating Islands, Tendrils, Spheres, or Spikes; source fluids can become one

Spheres or Tendrils. A page-free
random Age rolls zero, one, or two distinct compatible material features, choosing each
material from the Block or Fluid Pages pool. The choices are saved on the Age
definition, so opening the Age again does not reroll them.

The shape and placement use only the Age seed and source-chunk coordinates, so
revisiting an Age recreates the same geometry.
**Spheres** and **Spikes** are two separate Feature pages. Spheres adds
winding chains of solid sphere nodes within terrain generation; like Tendrils,
it works on all terrain families, even Void and Cave. Spikes is a later,
rarer surface decoration (roughly one attempt per 18 chunks) that rises from
solid ground on Standard, Amplified, Sky Islands, or Flat terrain. Cave and
Void reject the Spikes page because they do not provide a suitable exposed
surface. Each page accepts its own immediately preceding full-collision Block
page; without one, the Age seed chooses a compatible material. The pages
remain distinct in the catalog, Creative menu, JEI, ordered writing, and
saved Age definition. Page-free random Ages can select either where compatible.
For an in-game check, make separate Void/Spheres and Flat/Spikes books with
Glowstone Block pages directly before their respective Feature pages. Spheres
should form connected bright globes across chunk boundaries in Void; Spikes
should appear as rare upward clusters rooted on the Flat surface. Revisit the
same Ages to confirm stable locations. Check that a Void/Spikes book is
rejected, and that Spheres and Spikes remain two independently selectable
pages in Creative and JEI.
For a clear visual check, bind a Void Age with a Glowstone Block page followed
by Tendrils. Fly around world Y=0–120 across several chunks: branching solid
forms should appear in the otherwise empty dimension, continue across chunk

The Legacy symbol list and page names come from [ModSymbols](https://github.com/Mystcraft/Mystcraft-Legacy/blob/9bc8ddc061845df0cd5ea47f4fdef773cff786ae/src/main/java/com/xcompwiz/mystcraft/data/ModSymbols.java#L129-L240) and [SymbolRules](https://github.com/Mystcraft/Mystcraft-Legacy/blob/9bc8ddc061845df0cd5ea47f4fdef773cff786ae/src/main/java/com/xcompwiz/mystcraft/data/SymbolRules.java#L19-L137). Rivencraft's [catalog](../src/main/java/net/dnorberg/rivencraft/writing/SymbolCatalog.java) currently holds display metadata only; its built-in set is just standard terrain, native biomes, normal weather, normal lighting, normal time, and caves. [OrderedWriting](../src/main/java/net/dnorberg/rivencraft/writing/OrderedWriting.java) preserves page order, but no compiler yet connects it to [AgeTraits](../src/main/java/net/dnorberg/rivencraft/book/AgeTraits.java) or [Age profiles](AGE_PROFILES.md).
