"Drying" Sculk into the Soul Sand

A quite simple idea, which involves "drying" Sculk into the Soul Sand using a dripstone, as in the case of mud into clay. This could be an easier way to farm Soul Sand compared to bartering and could explain the presence of Soul Sand in Ancient Cities. Additionally, unlike the drying clay mentioned above, this action could fill the cauldron below with experience, with 3 possible fill levels, each requiring 1 block of Sculk to be "dried" and allowing 1 bottle to be filled with experience.
