Alchemist

Alchemists are a type of magic user capable of combining materials in order to craft new ones, without the expected scientific process needed. There are several types of alchemy: physical, organic, and ethereal.

Abilities
Alchemists have the power to reach into the core essence of things, and combine those essences into something new. While this is a difficult skill to master, alchemists who are just realizing their powers may find themselves accidentally combining objects in every day life. Most alchemy is reversible, though it is extremely difficult to do in comparison to combining objects. Though alchemy is generally intuitive, it takes years of study to learn the finer details of the skill, and to figure out how to properly craft items that will be exactly what the alchemist wants them to be, and may often require intense scientific study, processes, and specific rituals and processes to perform the desired effects.

Alchemy tends to be divided into three subcategories. The first and most common alchemy is called physical alchemy. This magic type allows for physical objects to be combined in order to create something new. For example, one might decide to create armor with alchemy. By combining the physical objects of a t-shirt and a piece of metal, a breastplate could be constructed. Possibilities are wide and varied, and it takes many years to learn the intricacies of what to combine in order to achieve the desired effect.

Organic alchemy is the practice of combining living, sentient organic beings together. This is rarely used by human alchemists, and is generally only practiced by Shadow People. Fusing two or more beings together combines their strengths and gives them an extreme power boost, however, for physical beings, organic alchemy is permanent. Shadow People are able to defuse after some time, as they are spiritual in nature, but once a physical being has combined with another, or with a Shadow, this alchemy cannot be undone, as it has fundamentally shifted the physical makeup of the physical being, and would likely result in death upon separation.

Ethereal alchemy is the alchemical practice of combining energies. Ethereal alchemists can use the essence of others' souls and wills in order to craft alchemical items. During ethereal alchemy, one or more willing participants offers energy to the alchemist, who then combines the energies within themselves, either with or without their own energy combined, and crafts something physical from the combination. This generally results in a magic object that combines the energy donors' magical abilities.
