real alchemy

[Queen Chiig]

O.O Then I'm thinking of the wrong book because I was waaaay off. Darn, which book am I thinkinh about? Can someone help me out here?  

[Mundi Mortem]

could you be thinking of the Necromenon book??? I will never ever in my life ever touch that book- it is pure evil. it wreaks of sulfer and brimstone.  

[Queen Chiig]

Ah thats it, thank you ^-^
A book is only evil in the wrong hands. In the right hands, it can be a gods send. You just have to be strong willed. The true question that this books brings up is...can you fight back the evil in your own heart?

I KNOW ALCHEMY!!!! 8D Not only is it a form of 'magic' but it is considered Medevil medicine that doctors used to make potions to help there paticatents(sp?). Dunno if that helped or anything...probably not. sweatdrop

~claps hands for you all~ You've done your research, you all are awesome! >=3
Most people say they did, but really know nothing, I'm glad you guys take an interest in this.

** Howls excitedly~~*** good job every one!! although 1 mistake tho. alchemy has never been involved with magic whats so ever. it is strictly science**winks and points out ** there are no incantations or unscientific symbols or signs~

and necromenon is one of the darkest books in existence that is still published widely and sold today. exclaim exclaim burning_eyes evil

i should be a teacher**  

[Mundi Mortem]

now that we got the one first and basic rule aside and a concept on the subject-- we should next discuss symbols then symbolism** exclaim

I remember teaching a bunch of people alchemy ones, it was fun >=D  

[Desirae Mustang]

Oh dear...I used to know a bunch on this subject...but it has been a while for me. sweatdrop But I have all was wanted to try doing alchemy. I think that it would be a bit fun.

I just found something. It's called "Body of Hermes" and refers to the total collection of works attributed to the ‘scribe of the gods'. We should do some research on this collection of books. It's said to be one of the very first...  

[Mundi Mortem]

I have a copy of the book of the dead. Would that help? It has lists of "spells"
It has a few things about how the ancient egyptians dabbled in Alchemy.
