Alchemy
Fictional Permission
When you hold Alchemy in your Grimoire, you have specific fictional positioning.
Alchemy CAN:
- Prepare reagents, distill essences, and stockpile scene-useful compounds between beats.
- Justify gear, antidotes, smoke, solvents, and lab-scale hazards in fiction.
- Feed another school's casting with prepared carriers (oils, powders, inks) when the GM agrees.
Alchemy CANNOT:
- Bypass Shape the Matrix for on-the-spot miracles unless you are also declaring a real school + glyph track.
- Auto-solve investigations or healing without play (pair with Divination / Medical Magic fiction).
- Ignore scarcity: notable brews cost time, materials, and often a clock or complication.
The Core Matrix
Alchemy is currently a support discipline, not a standalone Technique Glyph school.
- It does not grant an independent Technique Glyph progression at this time.
- Use Alchemy as fictional positioning for preparation, reagents, and laboratory procedures.
- For active spell shaping, resolve effects through relevant core-school Technique Glyph tracks.
