"I shall you tell with plain declaration Where, how, and what is my generation Omogeni is my Father And Magnesia is my Mother And Azot truly is my Sister And Kibrick forsooth is my Brother The Serpent of Arabia is my name The which is leader of all this game That sometime was both wood and wild And now I am both meek and mild The Sun and the Moon with their might Have chastised me that was so light My wings that me brought Hither and thither where I thought Now with their might they down me pull, And bring me where they will The Blood of mine heart I wish Now causeth both joy and blisse And dissolveth the very Stone And knitteth him ere he have done Now maketh hard that was lix And causeth him to be fix Of my blood and water I wish Plenty in all the World there is It runneth in every place Who it findeth he hath grace In the World it runneth over all And goeth round as a ball But thou understand well this Of the worke thou shalt miss Therefore know ere thou begin What he is and all his kin Many a name he hath full sure And all is but one Nature Thou must part him in three And then knit him as the Trinity And make them all but one Lo here is the Philosophers Stone."
― The Ripley Scroll - Part 4
"The matter lies before the eyes of all; everybody sees it, touches it, loves it, but knows it not. It is glorious and vile, precious and of small account, and is found everywhere... But, to be brief, our Matter has as many names as there are things in this world; that is why the foolish know it not."
― The Golden Tract concerning the Philosopher's Stone in the Musaeum Hermeticum
"The alchemical operation consisted essentially in separating the prima materia, the so-called chaos, into the active principle, the soul, and the passive principle, the body, which were then reunited in personified form in the coniunctio or 'chymical marriage'... the ritual cohabitation of Sol and Luna."
― Carl Jung, in Mysterium Coniunctionis

Capabilities

User can utilize Alchemy, the mystical and scientific pursuit of the power of the Philosopher's Stone and Universal Panacea, focusing on Elemental Transmutation (ranging from transforming base materials into purer (lead or iron into silver or gold), to making permanent changes on the state of matter (making glass malleable or durable, etc.), various forms of Elemental Manipulation (especially electricity and fire) and Life-Force Manipulation (Immortality, Healing and even creating life or at the least clones/homunculi). They also know how to create potions (for rejuvenation and immortality) and magical items, although these are generally for practical use.

Alchemy is essentially the perfect blend of magic and science, as each alchemical method mixes magical arts with scientific processes; for example, alchemical transmutation follows the rules of the periodic table and uses magic to change it into something of equal periodic value, the study of astronomy is mixed with astrology, the creation of homunculi uses magic-based genetic experimentation, and advanced technology uses magical energy as a power source.

Universal Differences

Alchemy is often different depending on the media, depicted as a form of Super Science in Fullmetal Alchemist and Magic Arts in Golden Sun.
