how does alchemy even work? you see alchemists having a magic circle over an item on their table, which obviously implies magic
the part where it gets weird is that enizor, a 68-year-old man, is a master alchemist, despite not having magical ability prior to the dark sea quest, so this means that alchemy isn’t exactly magic, at least in the same sense as being able to create harmful blasts of water. what is it, then?
iirc, Tech or Vetex clarified that unaligned magic circles exist, which are used for enchanting.
Yeah, that’s it. Unattuned magic circles.
Even non-mages can use them it seems.
Alchemist could be rather terrifying in combat depending on how quickly they can enchant/disenchant and the enchants they have access to, imagine fighting someone who can change the enchants on their gear at any time to fit any situation
it would also be rather terrifying if they could forcefully disenchant their opponents armor, like imagine fighting some dude and you suddenly lose like 20% of your stats since it got disenchanted.
This makes sense, because everyone has magical energy, but mages are the only ones who have their minds unlocked. These are what allow them to use specific kinds of magic. Since enchanting is done with an unaligned circle, it would make sense that anybody could use them.
