    Red Alert, Commander: Alchemists aren't born with an elemental affinity. Roy Mustang's flame alchemy isn't even his own technique or invention; Riza's father created it. What an alchemist can do is dependant entirely upon their training, discoveries, and a certain degree of innate willpower. Anyone can theoretically learn any alchemy technique, it's just that they're so intricate you can't figure one out to use just by studying your opponent or having an epiphany in the middle of battle.

      Correct. Alchemy is just rearranging atoms and molecules basically. You have to know exactly what elements you are changing into what other element and how that works, and that is incredibly complicated, which is why each alchemist typically specializes in onr or two types because becoming an alchemist is basically a magical chemistry masters degree.

    One think I'll add: It's easy to overlook/forget that your alchemic circle limits your alchemy. It's not that Roy 'forgot' he can do other alchemy, it's that his alchemic circle is formulated for his flame alchemy. Circle Less alchemy just lets you do whatever you want whenever since your body and your thoughts/knowledge directly form your circle and formula. Other alchemists have their specific predesigned circles that define the formulas of their styles. It's implied the more specific your formula, the less energy and effort it takes, and of course the more complex your transmutation.

    I feel like it's worth noting that the Philosopher's Stone doesn't violate equivalent exchange. It appears to because there's matter appearing from seemingly nowhere but the stone is actually a huge wellspring of energy. Energy is converted to Matter and that's how you get something that looks like it violates the law. But in the end the laws cannot be violated.

    • @lyger8742
      @lyger8742 9 месяцев назад +17

      I always thought that it used souls (life) as energy. It's well established that the value of a human life is immeasurable. So I thought that since human life is the ultimate sacrifice, it allows you to do nearly anything (except bring back the dead). You are giving back much more than what you're transmuting.
      I could very well be wrong so do tell me how it actually works

    • @johnwaggner9143
      @johnwaggner9143 9 месяцев назад +27

      As I've understood it, the Philosopher's Stone runs a little fast and loose with the "equivalent" portion of the exchange. As was said, the value of a human soul is immeasurable in terms of alchemy, but because Truth considers sentimental and metaphorical "value" in addition to material worth, what that really means is that the value of a human soul in a transmutation equation is whatever the WORLD thinks it's worth. That's why Human Transmutation is impossible even with a Philosopher's Stone; the fact you'd go to such lengths to bring back a life intrinsically makes that life worth MORE than whatever you'd trade for it. So even an Amestris-sized Philosopher Stone wouldn't be an equivalent exchange for the one life someone would willingly trade it for.
      But that works in the other direction, too. Most people would say a human soul is worth more than any mundane material, and since a soul cannot be divided, that would create an unbalanced equation in your favor. So rather than creating a Rebound towards Truth, you simply get whatever you asked for without actually trading the soul, meaning your Alchemy "costs" nothing. Which doesn't VIOLATE the law of Equivalent Exchange; it just loopholes past it by using Truth's own bias for human souls against it.
      But that's why Philosopher Stones are so dangerous; even the smallest stone contains more than 1 human soul, and therefore any Alchemy done with them is beyond the realm of human limitation. And so long as you don't try to perform transmutation at a greater level than the number of souls in your stone, your stone will never disappear or lose alchemical potency.

      There's a character breakdown essay about Ed and Kimblee but it can be put in Roy and Edward's situation too. I think Ed is definitely better in close-quarter combat than Roy but in terms of alchemical destruction power, Roy obviously wins the title. But at base, both can do what each other were doing. If Ed wants to, he can do fire alchemy, and it goes both ways as Roy also use conventional clap to the ground to create walls in the last episodes just like how Ed usually does.
      Edward always (or most of the time) choose to disarm his enemy, just like how he slashed Roy's transmutation circle on his gloves during the comical fight, and even when he's toe to toe with a mass-murderer-war-criminal like Kimblee, he still chose to disarm him by making him drop the red stone from his grip and slashing the tattoo on his hand. Edward's naivety eventually comes back at him when Kimblee unveil the other red stone he has and deliver a blow to the tower that ended up impaling him with a steel beam. Were it was Mustang who fought against Kimblee, he would've incinerate him to ashes right there.
      Edward will not abandon his morals and personal belief to defeat an enemy, while Roy would do his best to assure that the threatening enemy will not come up their asses later. What sets them apart is that Edward is not a murderer while Roy is.

    Best part about Mustang's alchemy is that the fire alchemy transmutation circle he uses on his gloves are basically super streamlined edited versions of the actual original equation that was discovered by his mentor bertold hawkeye aka Riza's father. All the shit he is doing is basically through an edited version of the transmutation array for flame alchemy berthold tatooed onto his daughter's back, that she eventually showed Mustang in exchange for him to burn the info off and relieve her of being the only written record of it, as no other records were kept (Berthold also didnt want to give it to the at-the-time young and brash Mustang in fear it could be misused).
    And the original version was considered both the most powerful and efficient version of Flame Alchemy by its creator.
    Just imagine what Mustang could do with the full thing instead of the streamlined, edited version? I mean he already has the Gate of Truth Powerup with it taking his eyes, but still.

    It’s been awhile myself since I’ve watched FMAB, but wasn’t the Dwarf in the Flask made from Hohenheim’s own blood? I could be mistaken, but I could’ve sworn that he said that he was made from his blood. And that’s why Hohenheim had that bandage around his forearm because he was cut to use his blood for the experiment. And that’s also why father had the same body as Hohenheim because he was made from his blood.

Hence why Father was able to seal everyone's alchemy except Scar and Mei because they use the true form of alchemy that generates power from the earth (purification arts) So no Scar does not perform the "alchemy" you think of, he's still using purification arts easily identifiable through the tattoos on his arms.

    As several others have said here, saying that alchemist have elemental affinities is wildly inaccurate. Alchemist from this series are essentially science wizards. They get stronger by studying, not training, and can choose to specialize in a field of alchemy just the same as a wizard which chooses to specialize in a school of magic. The reason alchemists choose to specialize in the first place is the alchemical symbol is very specific to the alchemy they're trying to perform.
    This is what makes Ed so dangerous. Not only is he a natural talent, he can throw any kind of alchemy at you at a moment's notice. Pretty much every other alchemist can only do one kind of alchemy at a time so they have to find creative ways to use that one kind.
