Curious about how people use hexcasting in survival

Hey all, I've been playing hexcasting for a long while now, and I consider myself fairly advanced in the mod, but I feel like I'm running out of new ways to use hexcasting.

I've recently been playing on 1.21.1 to have aeronautics so I only have base hexcasting rn (unless some add-ons have unofficial 1.21.1 versions I'm unaware of). I'm currently using hexcasting for all the usual stuff: breaking blocks, placing lights, altiora & boosts, creating lava water or fire, blowing up monsters, and teleporting entities to mine and another player's base.

I feel like there must be more interesting stuff I'm missing tho. When I was playing older versions, I had some more advanced spells like railguns and automated buffs thru hex cassettes, and the hexical grimoire let me make much more complex hexes, but with only base hexcasting I can't find much else to do.

How do y'all use hexcasting? Any practical applications of spell circles? Or interesting spells I should try and figure out?

Advice on how to proceed with dual boot

I have an old laptop that I want to switch over to linux mint, but I'm not very familiar with linux, so i wanted to dual boot until I could be sure there are no major issues.

The problem is that I am struggling to shrink my windows partition safely. I followed the steps in this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l8hnvI7CfDI) but that only got me about 35 GB, when I have another 180 GB free. I'd like more space for linux, so I can test some of my games and other software.

tbh, I already have a replacement for this laptop, so even if it loses windows or breaks, I won't be in trouble.

At this point should I:

  1. Use the 35 GB space for linux for now and just test smaller software

  2. ignore the windows files, use linux partition manager to shrink the partition, and repair it later (this already worked once to get the first 20GB, but that might have been luck)

  3. give up on dual boot and just nuke windows

  4. some other way to shrink the windows partition safely (please suggest)

Everyone talking about bouncy springs. No one noticed the Music Disc has no gravity?
