Alchemy is the skill of either enchanting pre-existing items with magickal powers, or creating magickal items. Doing either an enchantment or a creation involves three things:
 
1) The presence of two silver cauldrons.
2) Some commodities.
3) Performing a sequence of ritualistic actions.
 
Each ability help file for enchantment will show you the syntax for creating and using that item, what commodities are required, and what actions you need to perform.
 
=== How to ===
 
Once you have obtained the necessary commodities, put them in one of the
cauldrons. If you are enchanting an item (as opposed to creating), then put
the item to be enchanted into the other cauldron.
 
After doing this, you will need to do either:
 
:BEGIN CREATION OF <whatever>
:or
:BEGIN ENCHANTMENT OF <whatever> WITH <enchantment>
 
The exact syntaxes for each one are in the ab help files.
 
After this, you simply have to perform the relevant actions in the proper
order. Once you've done this, merely type END RITUAL. If you've performed
everything properly, you will succeed. If not, you will fail, destroying your
commodities and item (if enchanting as opposed to creating) in the process.
 
In the ab file, you will see an "actions" field. These are the actions you
must perform for each item.
 
The actions are as follows:
<pre>
1)  RING BELL
2)  CHANT <phrase> (different phrase for different products)
3)  BANG DRUM
4)  SPIN AROUND THRICE
5)  LIGHT CANDLE

Alchemy was the skill of either enchanting pre-existing items with magickal powers, or creating magickal items. Producing either an enchantment or a creation involved three things: the presence of two silver cauldrons, some commodities, and performing a sequence of ritualistic actions. In the year 26 AM, Mages were given new powers and freedom over their elemental abilities, which led to the art of Crystalbinding taking the place of Alchemy in the profession's skillset.
