real alchemy

[Queen Chiig]

It says here...They tryed makeing gold out of simply sand and lesser rocks.
Oh! Theres a spell in here for transmutation!! But I don't think it counts as Alchemy. It doesn't talk about any circles or metreil being used....just spoken words. Does that count?

incantations is more along the lines of the craft. alchemy is strictly symbols, circles, symbolism, and "recipes"... neutral surprised but id like to see that book ... what is the name of it??  

[Queen Chiig]

"Ancient Egyptian Book of the Dead"

There are different versions of this book. The one I have focues on spells, history and myths of ancient egypt. It's not the best book for alchemy research. But, sadly it's the only one I have at the moment.

all this talk about alchemy makes me want to really study it. thankfully I'm gifted with a scientific mind.^^  

[Wrench Thrower Winry]

Lucky you. -_- I'm actually pretty horrible when it comes to the subject of science.  

[Fullmetal Hommunculous]

that sucks  

[Mundi Mortem]

science is awesome!! it allows u to come up with variables, solutions, factors- hypothesize, and u are able to prove and disprove things.

o thats great! i have a few wholes in my research....youve heard of nicholas flamell right??

For some odd reason I don't think a mind that deosn't know how to spell holes could be smart enough to understand alchemy...  

[Queen Isabel]

I also read about Nicholas Flamel in internet research. I found something interesting in the research. Here:
"Nicolas Flamel had acquired some knowledge of the Hermetic art. The ancient alchemy of the Egyptians and the Greeks that flourished among the Arabs had, thanks to them, penetrated to Christian countries. Nicolas Flamel did not, of course, regard alchemy as a mere vulgar search for the means of making gold. For every exalted mind the finding of the Philosopher's Stone was the finding of the essential secret of Nature, the secret of her unity and her laws, the possession of perfect wisdom."
Very interesting, I too would like to study alchemy, but alas, it is against religion. Even the tv show says that huh? For now, I will just study the world of alchemy.

But still thats not the true alchemy You might have found someone who figured it out, deosn't mean you have
