The "True" Alchemists
Several domains, specifically Artisimancy, Geomancy, and Technomancy, have practices that would fall under the description of "alchemy." So which ones are the "actual" alchemists?The answer depends on your understanding of the term. If one means early chemistry with a metaphysical element, the closest would be the Technomancers, who believe that what we call "magic" is really just advanced technology. If one means the actual transmutation of matter on an atomic level, the Geomancers would be the closest. And if one means the term in the more metaphysical sense, the idea of the transmutation of matter being a metaphorical transformation of the spirit, that would be the Artisimancers.
This is an excellent example of one of the pitfalls of literomancy — much depends on the meaning one assigns to a word in relation to commonly understood connotations, which can vary broadly across cultures and subcultures, economic and social classes, or even generations.
