Branch: The study of alchemy and the transmutation of matter

Alchemy is transformative: the act of turning one thing into another. This process can range anywhere from mixing natural ingredients together to reshaping matter itself, down to its bare components. The effects of this branch of magicka may differ vastly depending on what is being made and how.

Glowing, intricate runes drawn by hand or strange liquids humming in tightly secured vials.

If performed incorrectly, alchemy may cause:
- item combustion
- smoke from backfire
- damage to hands, nerves, vision, and lungs
- irreversible damage to tools and ingredients

Successful transmutations can result in the invention of new medicines and technologies, replenish dwindling resources, and open up new ideas as to how alchemy can be used and manipulated for the benefit of society.

Naturä (Nature)

An alchemist cannot turn apples into gold. Items transmuted through runes must share some capability on a molecular level, while those brewed in potions need binding agents to keep them tied together. Beyond that, the only limitations are one's own knowledge and capabilities.

Through the use of runes:
- An item to act as a base for transmutation
- Basic compounds
- Chalk

Through the use of potion brewing:
- Ingredients
- Binding agents
- Water

Any beginner's magician needs a basic understanding of both chemistry and alchemy, as well as the know-how to put them into practice, in order to be recognized as a alchemist. Experimentation and intensive study are essential keys in becoming a master of the craft.
