Alchemist

Alchemy is the process of magically enhancing a chemical reaction, this action can produce numerous unique results. Alchemy in Meridia serves a crucial place in society as Alchemists are few and the demand for their potions, tinctures, oils, and other concoctions is always high. Unlike most materials, Fluct Ice can only be properly refined by a trained Alchemist.

Alchemists are so few because learning and practicing Alchemy can be quite dangerous, handling and mixing toxic chemicals with raw magic could never be the safest profession, so it is not uncommon to see an alchemist with a prosthetic limb.
