I suppose most here would consider it closer to magic, but it's more of a science as far as those from my world is concerned - I was an alchemist, specializing in energy-based transmutation.

It's a bit of a shame that most here associate alchemy with the practice of turning lead into gold; that's a complete waste of potential, and a bit of a useless practice besides - it's not really good for much outside of upsetting the economy.
