Alchemicus

Alchemicus is a class of Transmutations. It covers the alteration or transformation of material substances, from mystically identifying them to molding their shape and function like clay. It is used by those who follow or once followed the Mercurius Refinement.

Transmutation Abilities

2nd Edition

Alchemicus is divided into four alembics. The Transmutation is not only of interest to Prometheans, but also mortal Alchemists.

Aqua Regiae

This alembic allows for the destruction and corrosion of matter via an alchemical enhanced acid, called "King's Water". The Promethean practiced in this alembic becomes immune to damage from acids, radioactive materials or other substances.

• Decay: The Promethean secretes acid that can sabotage electronics and other machines.
• Degradation: Objects touched by the Promethean become brittle and easy to break.
• Dissolution: The Promethean may throw the acid he produces at a target.

Elixir

The Promethean can use this alembic to use his internal Divine Fire to animate objects and even give life. It also grants greater attunement to the occult.

• Apprentice's Broom: By infusing the Divine Fire into objects, the Promethean can animate them.
• Spark of Life: The Promethean can temporarily animate a corpse through a potion brewed from their own essence.
• Flesh to Stone: The Promethean temporarily transforms a living being into a stone statue.

Spagyrica

Spagyrica allows the Promethean to unleash the energy contained in atomic bonds. Practitioners can add more Pyros to their Distillations.

• Temperature Modification: The Promethean can cool or heat a substance with his Azoth.
• Alteration: The Promethean can alter the shape of an object.
• Resize: The Promethean can alter the size of an object.

Stone

The alembic of Stone deals with the transmutation of matter into something else. By scrutinizing an object, the Transmutor can discern all the material substances and component elements of the object.

• Purification: The Promethean "purifies" the object with Pyros, allowing it to function more efficiently.
• Fortification: The Promethean strengthens the durability of the object.
• Transmutation: The Promethean can cause the object to shift its chemical and structural properties via direct exposure to Azoth.
