Gains the ability to bind and unbind matter temporarily — fusing or separating objects at the atomic level.

Can refine alchemical potions and catalysts, pushing their effects beyond normal limits.

Sequence 6: Lead Refiner

Can extract "essence" from things — strength from bones, heat from fire, even fear from emotions.

Creates pseudo-life constructs or living metals.

Learns to create temporary philosopher's runes — powerful enchantments that fade after use.

Sequence 5: Glass Philosopher

Gains mastery over homunculi: living beings created by alchemy, used for combat, support, or knowledge storage.

Starts to alter their own body, becoming immune to disease, toxins, and aging.

Sequence 3: True Artisan

Mind and matter blur. Can alter their body into weapons, fluid, metal, or stone temporarily.

Sequence 2: Sublimed Heart

Gains near-total control over transmutation — can rewrite matter at a molecular level.

Can condense thoughts or emotions into alchemical crystals or liquids.

Sequence 1: Philosopher King

A living philosopher's stone. Their touch purifies, their breath refines, their presence balances.

Can create a temporary zone where matter obeys their truth: molten air, solid shadows, immortal clay.

Sequence 0: The Magnum Opus

The perfected being. Body, soul, and mind are in total harmony with the universe.

Can transmute not just matter — but concepts, destiny, and truths.

Can rewrite the essence of things: make despair into hope, death into rebirth, lies into truths.
