Alchemy is a mystical superscience involving the combination of chemistry with supernatural powers. An alchemist can create reactions between chemicals that will invoke the inherent powers of those chemicals, creating a wide variety of effects, mostly by creating matter that has powers inherited from the reactions, either by blending of or subtracting from the component parts.

See the materials page for a good start on materials and their aspects.

Basics of alchemical reactions:

• Purifying a reactant will create powerful single-sphere effects.
• Blending is akin to combining spheres with magic.
• Every state of matter, classical or not, has its own supernatural properties.
