Alchemy is one of those terms that can end up having almost completely different meanings in different fantasy settings. In classical mythology, Alchemy was the practice of turning various metals into gold. This "transmutation" is what is extrapolated into the "alchemy" used in Fullmetal Alchemist. It also ends up being a catch-all term for potion-making thanks to its strong relation to real life chemistry. In fact, a lot of breakthroughs in early chemistry came from attempting to study alchemy. The only thing that remains constant with fantasy alchemy is its strong blending of magic and science.

Alchemy was a predecessor to modern chemistry and alchemists had three major goals:

Turning base metals into gold

Creating the Elixer of Life for immortality

Creating the Universal Solvant which could desolve everything (Last one's usually forgotten)

It was believed that at least some of these goals were possible by creating the Philosopher's Stone.

Also, for our more scientifically minded members, what's the name of the branch of science that cloning, gene splicing, genetic engineering etc all falls under?

That would be included in Genetics. Also Biotechnology.

<<Is a geneticist.

EDIT: Also, Genealogy (which I've based my Honours and Masters on) is about lineages.

The problem with a universal solvent is, what would you hold it in?

Anyways if Edgeworth shows up I will be immensely amused

Pretty much all I know about Ace Attorney comes from this crossover. (But it looks good)

I wonder how much he'd react like Phoenix imagined he would...

(I do have a general idea who Edgeworth and Mia are, though)

I realise this. I suspect that the idea is that the final mixing would be done on site.

Then again, how could you control that only the desired solute would be dissolved instead of say, air, or the walls of whatever vacuum you placed it in? And how would you be able to properly discover its saturation point for various materials?

Aah...

Thanks for sharing those!

Curious, though. How do you save?

Shoot a savepoint, the same way as in IWBTG.

So I'm working on my next costume showcase

◊ and this is what I have to work with

◊ and I know I've griped about people's costume choices before but Twi and Fluttershy's but me immensely. AJ's does too but it's so common it's par for the course at this point.

And since the camera quality sort of sucks..

AJ: Consarnit! How do I keep gettin' into these outfits?!

RD: I'm not complaining

Rarity: But you're so stylish, deary.

Fluttershy: Pinkie. Wait.

TS: I can't run in this!

I analyze "Geek Culture" here.

When All Else Fails, worry, that's the 14 way.

Flutters seems bad, but TS doesn't seem THAT bad...but I can see why you'd dislike it.

@Mousa Sorry, I can't tell. What's Pinkie about to do?

All in a vacuum of course...

Presumably, you mix it on top of what you want to disolve.

And how would you be able to properly discover its saturation point for various materials?

Presumably trial and error.

Pinkie is just running off towards something and Twi and Flutters are following for some reason.

I'm a little sad for Spike in that he still hasn't met his biological family yet ;_;

Spike knows who is family is so I think it won't be an issue to come up.

So, as awesome as the phoenixes were in the last episode, something just seemed off to me about them. Not in a bad way, mind you, but just enough to force you to take notice of them. Eventually I figured out what it was: They are drawn without outlines.

◊ It's essentially an Art Shift, but only applied to phoenixes. Now I'm going to go back and check A Bird in Hoof to see if Philomena was also drawn this way once she got her plumage back.

Edit: Yep, Philomena was drawn the same way. That really is a nice touch. Makes them really stand out, even when in the middle of a bunch of colorful ponies.
