Expanding on Demoncrusher's idea of thaumcraft generators, if you're willing to use EE and willing to not listen to the constant TICTICTICTIC of a .2 sec timer going.
What you do is (eventually) get an energy condenser and the relay/collectors to support it, then put a slime ball in the energy condenser's target slot, and pipe that stuff to your crucible.
Slimeballs are very efficient in the EE -> Thaums ratio, plus a crucible of slime seems right for a wizard/alchemist/engineer/whatever.
Then you get a bank of thaum generators, and put 1 node near the middle of the generators. The way it works is that you don't have to waste time/resources placing the conduits, since the thaums will fly right to the generators.
Basically like this;
------------------------- - = your favorite high voltage cable
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ \ = generators
* * = node
C C = crucible, preferably the thaumic one so you don't have to baby sit it.
