Everything is alive and bears its own intelligence. Alchemy is the art that studies the life behind what most people consider “inanimate”: plants and stones, and how it relates and alters one’s own life. Alchemy teaches one to alter the metabolic processes of the body, change the way the very human nature works, by infusing it with parts of the nature of other lives. Alchemy, in fact, goes beyond that: it allows a mage create new life, by mixing nature’s elements in specific ways, the alchemist can create an energetic signature that is not found anywhere else in nature: a new element.
