Alchemy, It is the scientific technique of understanding the structure of matter, decomposing it, and then reconstructing it. If performed skillfully, it is even possible to create gold out of lead. However, as it is a science, there are some natural principles in place. Only one thing can be created from something else of a certain mass. This is the Principle of Equivalent Exchange.
Alchemy (錬金術 Renkinjutsu) is, as it is understood in the Enforcers series, the ancient metaphysical science/mystical art of manipulating and altering matter by using natural energy. This act is known as "Transmutation" (錬成 Rensei) and its sequence is usually described as:
Comprehension - Understanding the inherent structure and properties of the atomic or molecular makeup of a particular material to be transmuted, including the flow and balance of potential and kinetic energy within.
Deconstruction - Using energy to break down the physical structure of the identified material into a more malleable state so as to be easily reshaped into a new form.
Reconstruction - Continuing the flow of energy so as to reform the material into a new shape.
The proper application of this craft requires not only a full understanding of chemistry and ancient alchemical theory, but also a sort of natural talent towards recognizing and manipulating the physical objects with energy, which require uncommon levels of intelligence and aptitude. Those remarkable individuals capable of studying and practicing alchemy are known as "Alchemists".
In the timeline of this story special devices known as transmutation medium have been created to be used instead of transmutation circles. Transmutation medium are created through a complex process known as engravement and imitation. A transmutation medium by itself cannot change matter but rather it utilizes the users soul energy to channel the flow of transmutation in the available matter hence transmutation occurs.
Writers edit.
Well this is the prologue sorry for the over the top lengthy explanation. You can as well skip it if you've not read it already 😅 come back later. Since it's alchemy I did incorporate some things from fullmetal alchemist. If there's anything you don't understand or think I should add please feel free to comments.Owonaru Isaiah out🏃.
