Transmutation

The skill of Transmutation allows an alchemist to create medicinal cures from the alchemical primes and metals. Two main types of remedies may be created: solid minerals, which may be eaten or smoked; and liquid balms and tonics, which may be applied and drunk, respectively. Transmutation of minerals requires the Alchemist's presence in a properly stocked metallurgy lab, while creation of tonics and balms may be done from anywhere, assuming the alchemist possesses an alembic.

The pinnacle of Transmutation is the creation of the Philosopher's Stone, though little is known about the mystic properties of this highly desired substance.

Use of Transmutation requires having learned the Metallurgy ability in the Alchemy skill. Transmutation will not function, in any capacity, without first obtaining this skill.

Abilities in Transmutation

Ability	Description
Transmutate	Combine primes and metals to create curative substances.
Known: Yes Syntax: TRANSMUTATE <mineral> TRANSMUTATE <#> <fluid> IN <alembic> DECANT <alembic> INTO <vial/tun> Extra Information: NOTE: THIS ABILITY REQUIRES THE METALLURGY ABILITY IN ALCHEMY! Details: Using transmutation, you may combine and convert alchemical primes and metals into curative, if not particularly appetising, minerals and fluids. TRANSMUTATE <mineral> will create solid minerals which are either eaten or smoked. This must be done in your city's metallurgy lab, and you must possess the appropriate ingredients and ability in Transmutation. TRANSMUTATE <#> <fluid> IN <alembic> will create fluids which may be sipped or applied. This can be done anywhere, but requires possession of an alembic. The # in the command represents the number of fills produced via transmutation; five fills are needed to completely fill a regular vial. This requires the appropriate ingredients and ability in Transmutation. DECANT <alembic> INTO <vial/tun> [<#> TIMES] will fill a vial or tun (if you have permission to fill the tun) from an alembic. If you do not specify the number of fills, you will fill it once. This requires the alembic to have sufficient fluid inside.

PhilosopherStone	The pinnacle of Alchemical learning.
Known: No (1736 lessons required) Syntax: TRANSMUTATE PHILOSOPHER'S STONE Details: The Philosopher's Stone is the pinnacle of Alchemical learning and mastery. The Stone is created in four steps, with each step providing increased power and insight to the Alchemist who creates it. The nigredo, or blackening comes first. Following this is the albedo, the whitening. Then the citrinitas, or yellowing. The final step is the rubedo, or reddening. Most Alchemists will only be able to ever complete the nigredo, and none have ever completed the final step of rubedo. What powers it ultimately holds is unknown, but many theories have been whispered in the vaunted halls of the Cauda Pavonis. Completion of the nigredo requires travel to your home city's metallurgy laboratory. Once there, simply TRANSMUTATE PHILOSOPHER'S STONE. The creation of the Stone will grant knowledge allowing a higher yield when transmutating minerals and fluids; more minerals will be created, and only four fills will be needed to fill a vial. Additionally, your fundamental physiology will change, allowing faster metabolism of the potash mineral (but not irid moss!).
