Alchemy is the primary study of the Alchemists, focusing on the manipulation of the ether and the alchemical energies that flow through it. The main focus of the skill is based upon drawing upon the latent alchemical energies via Symbology to direct the power of the alchemical primes and metals. Further aspects of Alchemy involve the extraction of the three primes; salt, sulphur, and mercury; from the earth itself, and synthesising these substances into various metals. The skilled practitioner of Alchemy will even find it possible to transmute flesh into varying substances, culminating in the ability to encase another completely in gold.

The skill of Alchemy is available to members of the Alchemist class, along with Physiology and Formulation or Sublimation.

Shapes: {{{shapes}}}
Transitions: {{{transitions}}}
Attacks: {{{attacks}}}
Works against: Adventurers and denizens
Cooldown: Equilibrium
Attune Effect: {{{attune}}}
Symbol: {{{symbol}}}
Details: The power of symbology allows alchemists to tap into the ether and draw upon the alchemical energies of the primes and metals.
Each symbol corresponds to one of the primes or metals, and each has a differing effect.
The different symbols you may call upon become available with increased training in Alchemy.

See AB ALCHEMY LEAD as an example.

Note: {{{note}}}
Metallurgy Reduction to the six alchemical metals. Lessons: 0
Syntax: REDUCE <#> <metal> FROM <mineral>
REDUCE <metal>
Required: 100 mana
Channels: {{{channels}}}
Shapes: {{{shapes}}}
Transitions: {{{transitions}}}
Attacks: {{{attacks}}}
Works against:
Cooldown: 2.75 seconds of balance
Attune Effect: {{{attune}}}
Symbol: {{{symbol}}}
Details: Reduction of the six alchemical metals from minerals is the first step in understanding the alchemical composition of all things. In order to perform the reduction, you must be standing within a transmutation laboratory in which you have permission to work.

The six alchemical metals are: lead, iron, tin, copper, silver, and gold.

Each mineral is composed of certain metals, so not all alchemical metals can be reduced from all minerals. REDUCE <metal> will reveal the minerals from which a given alchemical metal can be reduced.

Alchemical metals produced via metallurgy can also be manipulated by the name a<metal>. For example, agold or atin.

Note: {{{note}}}
Primes Isolation of alchemical primes. Lessons: 0
Syntax: ISOLATE <#> <prime> FROM <metal>
ISOLATE <prime>

Attacks: {{{attacks}}}
Works against:
Cooldown: 2.75 seconds of balance
Attune Effect: {{{attune}}}
Symbol: {{{symbol}}}
Details: Isolation of alchemical primes from alchemical metals is the fundamental mark of a capable alchemist. In order to perform the isolation, you must be standing within a transmutation laboratory in which you have permission to work.

The three alchemical primes are: salt, sulphur, and mercury.

Each alchemical metal is composed of certain alchemical primes, so not all alchemical primes can be isolated from all alchemical metals. ISOLATE <prime> will reveal the alchemical metals from which a given alchemical prime can be isolated.

Alchemical primes produced via isolation can also be manipulated by the name a<prime>. For example, asalt or asulphur.

Cooldown: 2.00 seconds of equilibrium
Attune Effect: {{{attune}}}
Symbol: Two concentric circles
Details: Calling upon the energy of lead, the lowest of the alchemical metals, will grant great density to your body. You may also target this at another adventurer flying in the sky above you, dragging them back to earth by drastically increasing their weight for a short time.
Note: {{{note}}}

Required:
Channels: {{{channels}}}
Shapes: {{{shapes}}}
Transitions: {{{transitions}}}
Attacks: {{{attacks}}}
Works against: Self
Cooldown: Equilibrium
Attune Effect: {{{attune}}}
Symbol: {{{symbol}}}
Details: Robes are the traditional garb of the alchemist, and alchemists may weave from the ether a set of specially crafted robes able to offer protection from damage.

ROBES SUMMON will weave a new set of robes from strands of the ether. ROBES CALL will return your robes to you, should they be lost.

Each pair of robes may be imbued with the symbols of up to four primes or metals, each offering protection from one type of damage. It is possible to imbue your robes from scratch using ROBES IMBUE WITH <symbols>, wiping away any previous imbuements and applying new ones. It is also possible to imbue a single "slot", using ROBES IMBUE SLOT <1-4> <symbol>. Finally, one may remove all symbols from their robes using ROBES CLEAR, and view the status of any slots using ROBES EXAMINE.

Note that a symbol may only appear once on a pair of robes, and using a symbol requires knowing the appropriate ability in Alchemy.

The symbols and the damage type they protect against are:
Lead: Blunt
Iron: Cutting
Salt: Magic
Tin: Psychic
Copper: Electric
Sulphur: Asphyxiation
Silver: Cold
Gold: Fire

Details: The energies of tin will raise a reflective barrier around your body, this will persist for the next two attacks, and will return a portion of the damage you would receive to your attacker.

Note that this is ineffective versus unblockable damage.

Attune Effect: {{{attune}}}
Symbol: {{{symbol}}}
Details: Each city maintains, within an astronomical laboratory, an orrery specifically designed to resonate with the alchemical energies and the celestial bodies which share this affinity. It is possible to focus this orrery upon one of these celestial bodies, and once three alchemists from your city have done so, you may empower any non-forestal citizen with its power. This focus will be reset every Sarapin, when Ethian's Crossing disrupts the energies across Sapience. The focusing must be done from the appropriate laboratory, and the empowering may be done from anywhere.

The celestial bodies, the energy with which they resonate, and their empowered effects are:
The sun - Gold - Increased health regeneration.
The moon - Silver - Increased mana regeneration.
The Nebula Coronae (nebula) - Copper - Increased endurance and willpower regeneration.
Ethian - Tin - Increased damage versus denizens.
