 The first boon offered by the [[Tlalaiad|Genesis]], earned by the bravery of [[Hashan]]'s leadership in 798 AF, the oft-whispered of [[Wellspring]] beneath the city is no longer a locked and guarded secret, but remains guarded nonetheless. The Alchemists who dare to experiment with the residual power of the ancient [[Proteus|Protean]] star have cast off the limiting truths presented by the [[Cauda Pavonis]] and tread paths of study never walked before.
+Sublimation is an alternative field to Formulation, practiced by those capable of drawing on Hashan's Wellspring reservoir of energy. Its arts are centered around manipulation of forces, alignment of energies, and the oft-misunderstood field of substantiation.
-Students of the field of Sublimation typically work within three broad schools: Manipulation, Substantiation, and Alignment. Drawing upon the great Wellspring of energy beneath the city of Hashan to enact their workings, masters of these schools are terrible to behold.
+The school of '''Manipulation''' operates upon bending fundamental forces to one's will, be those concrete forces such as gravity or the more abstract forces such as probability.

+Alternatively, the school of '''Alignment''' does not waste unnecessary effort on altering their environment. Instead, their studies focus on aligning events just so as to ensure that their victory is inevitable. Though most students pride themselves on subtlety, a master of this field is far from.
-Alternatively, those that study under Substantiation are not content with simply altering the world around them. Indeed, they bend their attentions to a far more concerning line of study: that of imposing their own sense of reality over what already exists. To be a master of Substantiation is to see the world as it is and find it wanting.

-Finally, the school of Alignment holds itself as the greatest of the three schools, for they do not waste unnecessary effort on altering their environment. Instead, their studies focus on aligning events just so as to ensure that their victory is inevitable. Though most students pride themselves on subtlety, a master of this field is far from. Alchemists of [[Sapience]] have diverged into two distinct paths. The traditional alchemical practice of [[Formulation]] and the field of Sublimation. You may select your field once every 24 hours to swap between the two.

 The skill of '''Sublimation''' is available to members of the [[Alchemist]] [[class]], along with [[Alchemy]] and [[Physiology]]. Instead of sublimation, an Alchemist may choose the skill of [[Formulation]].
