People are able to use alchemy by drawing a circle. However, if you try to bring someone back by trying a human transmutation and you see the “truth”, then you won’t need a circle and can just do it with your hands. The bad part about that is you have to lose a body part. It can be inner or outer.
My appendix isn't in particular use…
@JustMeVicky Hi! I am building a world where the alchemy will be used, as well. I liked the idea of FMA and FMA:B a lot. It helps me to get rid of the magic in the world where the magic wouldn't fit as much.
The type of alchemy I will let my players use can be used only if these rules are met:
Equivalent exchange - you have to have something to create something of the equal value you have. You can have some wood stick and some metal coins to create a spear for example.
Transmutation circles - TC in further use. Players won't have the ability to "see the truth" - partially because I didn't think of how that would work and I don't like FMA way of doing it. Players will have to think of the TC and draw it first - it will have to be different each time they use one for different things.
If the players will want to use alchemy, they will have something like "alchemy points" under their HP. And their ability to use alchemy will be limited. It may be extended depending on the class they choose, but that is currently in the development phase.
Anyway, I hope I helped/inspired you a little bit! Good luck with your world building!
Have a nice day
I don't need my appendix either… WORTH IT!
