Chapter 1564 I Am My Master's Puppet:>Ep11

• Alchemy is the art of manipulating nature's laws, distinct from witchcraft, which directly breaks them. Through the basic principles of conserving both mass and energy, alchemy can do anything from turning seawater into salt and water to taking a disease away from a person and transferring it to an animal.
• In principle, alchemy should be thought of not as turning things into other things, but as reaching within that object and rearranging its smallest particles. It follows the basic framework of a chemical reaction: matter goes in and the same matter goes out, while energy is either released or absorbed.
• Besides the natural and tangible, alchemy can manipulate things more abstract in a similar way. Something such as memories or thoughts can be forcibly transferred from one person's brain to another, and a nearly limitless amount of actions can be preformed as long as what is lost is equivalent to what is being gained.
