== Alchemy ==
'''Alchemy''' was the skill of either enchanting pre-existing items with [[magick|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.
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
6)  CLAP HANDS
7)  BURN THE POLYGON
8)  POINT SWORD
9)  BURN INCENSE
10) PLAY HORN
11) STRUM LUTE
12) FLIPCOIN
13) ROLL DICE
14) WAVE ARMS
15) CRUSH QUINCE
16) WAVE FEATHER
17) SQUARE THE CIRCLE
</pre>
 
Key:
10x12,9,3x7
<pre>do #12 (flipcoin) 10 times
do #9 (burn incense) once, and then
do #7 (burn the polygon) 3 times.</pre>
