Obsidian Totems terminology

I noticed a discrepancy of terminology in the Node article, with Obsidian Totem. Aside from the block there are mentions of " 8 Obsidian Totems" in the "Moving Aura Nodes" section and of "Obsidian Pillars" in the "Alternate Method using Magic Bees" section. The picture shows 4 "poles" or "pillars" of 3 blocks high each (the Obsidian Totem "pole" I found in my game was 4 blocks high). I don't know much about TC3 so I can only point this out for someone that is familiar with the mod, althought my feeling is that an Obsidian Totem "Pillar" or "Pole" is made of 4 Obsidian Totem blocks and that this should be pointed out (explained or clarified) in the article.

"Obsidian Totem" is the name of the block used in the construction of the node-moving structure. "Pillar" is used here just as a description of the structure. A functioning structure requires 4 'pillars', each a minimum of 2 Totems tall, thus the requirement of 8 Totem blocks. The world-gen structures may be 4 blocks tall, but that's not relevant. --timrem (talk) 08:04, 31 August 2015 (CEST)
