Long ago, a cabal of Alchemists quietly practised their studies in ancient [[Seleucar]], largely content to ignore and be ignored by the [[Seleucarian Empire|Empire]]. Operating within their hall, named the [[Cauda Pavonis]], they profited from trading [[Transmutation|transmuted]] [[:Category:Minerals|minerals]] and [[:Category:Tonics|tonics]] to the elite who could afford them. Over time, however, these curatives were replaced by other more palatable and readily available remedies, and respect for the isolated order began to dwindle. Eventually, the leader of the cabal made the fateful choice to depart from the society that shunned them once and for all. Secretly the Alchemists used their combined talents to displace the Cauda Pavonis to a fold in the [[ether]]: the space between planes. | Long ago, a cabal of Alchemists quietly practised their studies in ancient [[Seleucar]], largely content to ignore and be ignored by the [[Seleucarian Empire|Empire]].

The skill of [[Alchemy]] focuses on the use of the ether and the alchemical energies reverberating through it. [[Physiology]] allows the Alchemist to inflict illness upon an opponent via manipulation of the four humours. Additionally, an Alchemist trained in Physiology may command a [[homunculus]], a diminutive creature formed from his or her own flesh. With [[Formulation]], the alchemist is able to amalgamate potent compounds. | The skill of [[Alchemy]] focuses on the use of the ether and the alchemical energies reverberating through it.

In the Year 802, [[Tlalaiad]], unlocked the ancient Wellspring of [[Hashan]], the culmination of a bargain made between [[Tsol'teth]]. Access to these latent energies granted the powers of Sublimation - an alternative alchemical field to Formulation. | |||
A fledgling '''Alchemist''' possesses the skills of [[Alchemy]] and [[Physiology]], upon embracing the class the alchemist has a choice of [[Formulation]] or [[Sublimation]]. | A fledgling '''Alchemist''' possesses the skills of [[Alchemy]] and [[Physiology]], upon embracing the class the alchemist has a choice of [[Formulation]] or [[Sublimation]]. | ||
