Alchemy is the primary study of the | 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. | ||
