Line 1:

'''Alchemy''' is a metaphysical and magical process in which mundane physical materials or objects are altered through supernatural or extradimensional forces. Unlike conventional chemistry or nuclear science, which alter matter at the molecular or atomic level, alchemy functions on a fourth-dimensional plane, reshaping the essential and metaphysical properties of materials. Across the [[~~Continuum~~ Universes]], the practice of alchemy is regarded with reverence, fear, or disgust—often all at once.

While some advanced civilizations may confuse alchemical outcomes with scientific phenomena, **True Alchemy** involves powers derived from beyond the [[Mortal Plane]], often linked to [[Magic]], [[Universal Law]], or even the [[Yonder Realm]].

In the [[Kaos]] Universe, Alchemy is a sacred art granted only to the chosen of the [[Osorians]]. It is powered by lay lines and their intersections—[[nexuses]]—which produce the mystical energy called [[Malarios]]. [[Malarian]] children born at these nexuses wield immense magical ability. Figures like [[Old Theribus the Elder]] and [[High Sorceress Ileona Seturis]] exemplify this ~~universe’s~~ reverence for Alchemy.

Alchemical fluids are used to reanimate the dead. The spirits do not return, but their corpses are repurposed as servants or guardians. These reanimations degrade over time, as the alchemical charge dissipates.
