Types[]

There are a number of special alchemic substances mentioned throughout history.

Alkahest – This is described as the “universal solvent,” capable of dissolving any substance, even gold. It could reduce substances down to their base, elemental essences, allowing for the creation of potent medicines.
Elixir of Life – This is a unique alchemical potion said to be capable of granting immortality, eternal youth and even curing any disease.
Panacea – This is another type of special cure-all that can grant life extension.
Philosopher's Stone – This is the probably the most well-known alchemical material. The stone was said to be capable to bringing about the perfected form of any substance. This was often spoken of as transmuting base metals like lead into pure metals like gold. This was usually a metaphor representing personal transformation into a higher, more evolved state of being. It was also said to be capable of providing profound health benefits like rejuvenation and immortality. The stone was also said to enable feats like forever-burning lamps, transmuting ordinary stones into gems or even creating lifeforms like clones or a homunculi.
Prima materia/Yliaster – This is the necessary primary material for creating the Philosopher’s Stone, said to be the alchemist’s Magnum Opus (Great Work). It is said to lack any type of form and contains all colors and metals.
