Alchemy: The Great mixture of science and magic
To Master Science and Magic
Alchemy is the ultimate form of Chemistry and Sigilism at it's finest. Together they form alchemy, the turning of things into other things as the old men call it. More educated minds know it as transmutation, a way of forming needed materials through combining the ancient act of engineering and chemical formulas. Only the highest of minds can achieve true alchemic transmutation, making gold from rock, or a large supply of energy from sunlight itself. However these things are tales, alchemy has more base root in forms of advanced potions and elixirs that have been known to cure the uncurable or freeze tsunamis that threatened coastal regions. Alchemy is a high magic and scientific mindset and only the true masters of both can even begin to obtain the small amounts of knowledge and acting upon said knowledge.Manifestation
During the making process alchemy is a hazard, even the olden expirienced alchemists would have trouble keeping their work areas clean and devoid of clutter. There are precise and accurate measurments that need to be taken when dealing with Alchemical formulas and an advanced knowledge of Sigilism required to help modify or enhance certain aspects of ingredients. The mixing and matching of select chemical ingredients as well as rare ones are often used due to their maleable tendencies.
The resulting tinctures, and medicines, and potions from alchemy normally result in small vials filled with different colored liquids. However there are recipies that have been known to make stones, or iron with enchanted or enhanced effects. Alchemy is used for more permanent enhancements or other lasting effects that are needed.
