When too much is attempted out of too little, what occurs is called a Rebound, in which the alchemical forces that are thrown out of balance on either side of the equation fluctuate wildly of their own accord in order to stabilize themselves - taking or giving more than what was intended is often unpredictable and catastrophic in ways such as accidental mutation, serious injury, or death. Since the alchemical forces being manipulated are not human in origin, but of the world as a whole, the consequences for attempting to bypass the Law of Equivalent Exchange in transmutation are not merely failure and cessation. In other words, an object or material made mostly of water can only be transmuted into another object with the attributes of water. The Law of Natural Providence, which states that an object or material made of a particular substance or element can only be transmuted into another object with the same basic makeup and properties of that initial material.

In other words, to create an object with the mass of one kilogram, at least one kilogram of material is necessary destroying an object with the mass of one kilogram would reduce it to a set of parts, the sum of which would have the mass of one kilogram.

The proper application of this craft requires not only a full understanding of chemistry and ancient alchemical theory, but also a sort of natural talent towards recognizing and manipulating the physical objects with energy, which require uncommon levels of intelligence and aptitude. Reconstruction - Continuing the flow of energy so as to reform the material into a new shape.Deconstruction - Using energy to break down the physical structure of the identified material into a more malleable state so as to be easily reshaped into a new form.


This is the Principle of Equivalent Exchange.Īlchemy (錬金術 Renkinjutsu) is, as it is understood in the Fullmetal Alchemist series, the ancient metaphysical science/mystical art of manipulating and altering matter by using natural energy.

Only one thing can be created from something else of a certain mass. However, as it is a science, there are some natural principles in place. If performed skillfully, it is even possible to create gold out of lead. Alchemy, It is the scientific technique of understanding the structure of matter, decomposing it, and then reconstructing it.
