A small booklet, crafted from a rough paper with blue-black ink scrawled across it - it reads thusly

 

ALCHEMY

Under the view of an Owynist.

Alchemy, The learned art of skillfully rearranging the basic and fundamental building blocks of GOD’s world into various useful and wondrous things, while this could be compared to simple cookery or even a complex and extensive extension of herbology - and while this is technically correct in some ways, It is so much more than that when looked at from a religious perspective.

 

The fact that more lies under the surface of the world, the visible realm is a well-known fact to those who have more than an inkling of life experience. Miracles are well attested, as are profane magicks practiced by Magi, Alchemy is similar, using the basic building blocks, the innate language of creation in the artform. You can not see such at glance, but everything is made from it and all is bound by it, even our mortal bodies that GOD has given us. And just as GOD’s eternal grace infuses and is in all things, so are these symbols derived from his almighty glory.

 

The creations allowed by the rearranging of such symbols is a potent tool for the fight against the unholy blights on GOD’s realm, and while these creations may be used by those blights, does being used by such make them any less wondrous, created from the earth and sea’s that GOD has given us mortals. In my experience, more good has come from the artform than profanity. Numerous times my own life has been saved from such horrors by concoctions of alchemy.

 

My own eye was taken by Daemonic Fire, spurned forth from an Inferi’s horrid devilry, yet it was ‘replaced’ by the art of alchemical tinkering, this has allowed me to continue my martial service to the Lectorate of Exalted Owyn, and having such has truly been a helpful boon in my daily life. I consider it a blessing of GOD, that such craft exists, and is able to be accessed in a way not tainted by Dark Magicks, as it seems more and more is corrupted by such in this dawning age.

 

And while one could view Alchemy under the gaze of a faithful man, one could also look upon it with a twisted view, some years ago I met a man who was an ‘expert’ in the art, yet he was heretical in his teachings and claimed to be a prophet of sorts, ‘enlightened’ in a way most profane. One must be watchful for those who attempt to mix such Alchemical Arts with profane teachings and unholy magicks and rituals. GOD has given us free will, and just as we must choose to remain faithful, we must use the world’s basic elements around us for good, and in a just way.

 

On that, I will end this script, for I have said all I wish to say.

 

Farewell and GOD bless.

Oijin smiles reading his student's essay and hopes alchemy gets to spread and open up humanity.

Isaac peers over the document, after Mathurin finished the work, clapping his fellow Lector upon the back in a friendly manner, "Excellent, yer' writin' skills improve, Brother Mathurin, such is blessed!"

Dharas golf clapped as he read over Mathurin's literature, offering a thumbs-up towards his fellow Lector, "Nicely done, Lector Pretty Princess!"

With a flick of his wrist, the Lord of Edenia went to straighten the papyrus in his hand. Never thought I'd be so engrossed in this when I read the title. He'd ponder to himself, before starting to reread as he leaned back into his chair.

The Arch-Lector, the author of the modern Owynist Rite, reads the essay from who he believed to be the Sword-Bearer with the most heart. He nodded approvingly with a rare grin, for Mathurin had summarized his own views on the subject with eloquence and pride. Truly, GOD was proud as well. "Perhaps we need to conjure a litany for the Alchemist."
