![]() Those remarkable individuals capable of studying and practicing alchemy are known as " Alchemists".Īlchemy is connected to The Gate, as demonstrated when Ed traded his individual Gate for Al, losing his ability to practice alchemy in the process. #ALCHEMY MEANING FULL#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. Reconstruction - Continuing the flow of energy so as to reform the material into a new shape.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.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. ![]() ![]() This act is known as "Transmutation" (錬成 Rensei) and its sequence is usually described as: This is the Principle of Equivalent Exchange.Īlchemy (錬金術 Renkinjutsu) is, as it is understood in the Fullmetal Alchemist series, the ancient metaphysical science/mystical art of manipulating and altering matter by using natural energy. Only one thing can be created from something else of a certain mass. However, as it is a science, there are some natural principles in place. If performed skillfully, it is even possible to create gold out of lead. 1600 the strictly scientific sense went with chemistry, and alchemy was left with the sense "pursuit of the transmutation of baser metals into gold, search for the universal solvent and the panacea.Alchemy, It is the scientific technique of understanding the structure of matter, decomposing it, and then reconstructing it. Alchemy was the "chemistry" of the Middle Ages and early modern times, involving both occult and natural philosophy and practical chemistry and metallurgy. The al- is the Arabic definite article, "the." The art and the name were adopted by the Arabs from Alexandrians and entered Europe via Arabic Spain. khymeia was probably the original, being first applied to pharmaceutical chemistry, which was chiefly concerned with juices or infusions of plants that the pursuits of the Alexandrian alchemists were a subsequent development of chemical study, and that the notoriety of these may have caused the name of the art to be popularly associated with the ancient name of Egypt. ![]() concludes, after an elaborate investigation, that Gr. ![]() The word seems to have elements of both origins. Perhaps from an old name for Egypt ( Khemia, literally "land of black earth," found in Plutarch), or from Greek khymatos "that which is poured out," from khein "to pour," from PIE root *gheu- "to pour". in a decree of Diocletian against "the old writings of the Egyptians"), all meaning "alchemy," and of uncertain origin. "medieval chemistry the supposed science of transmutation of base metals into silver or gold" (involving also the quest for the universal solvent, quintessence, etc.), mid-14c., from Old French alchimie (14c.), alquemie (13c.), from Medieval Latin alkimia, from Arabic al-kimiya, from Greek khemeioa (found c.300 C.E. ![]()
