Alchemy

Alchemy is a form of magic and science that combines chemistry and spells to purify, mature or perfect certain objects by changing their material properties. Common aims were to transform base metals into stronger and lighter metals, though the most popular practice was to turn metal into gold. The goal to create metal from alchemy has died out, as has most of alchemy in the magical community. Currently it is only used to purify metals and to change liquid properties of potions used in spells.
