Alchemy — a school of magic —
The Alchemy tradition owes its existence to the mortal pursuit of wonders. The pioneers sought to turn lead into gold, while others hoped to arrest their aging. All believed the answers could be found in the natural world, through combinations of certain elements. The results of their work established an entire body of magic concerned with the nature of things. Spells from the tradition enable you to produce weird substances and reshape the world you find around you.
