I mean, they got a magic circle with no symbol in it. But it’s gotta be something. Maybe Lord Vetex came down one day and blessed them with a variant of Cataclysm magic.
My conspiracy theory is that they’re all part of the Order of Aesir and that their work as alchemists is just to help them witness PvP fights and record all the information they find, from weapon imbuements to combos and whatever other bogus things your character can unleash.
