Description
I attempted to recreate the hand drawn variation of the circle, and done an acceptable job (Yes there are a few spots that could've been redone, but good enough). The symbol in the center of the circle is a fusion of three symbols, symbolizing mind, body and spirit. The symbols in the nodes and injector locations are symbols from the zodiac. It follows chronologically, starting with the star sign that begins in January. The ring of instruction uses these symbols as an order to the transmutation process. The process is the modify effect. It starts with a basic being, then modifies the being by a combination of the ring of instructions and creatures placed into the node. Transmutations are nearly instantaneous, so the zodiac symbols direct the flow of the transmutation.The symbols on the ring of instruction are actually a different font: symbol. The triangles and mind, body, spirit symbols all come from [link] . The idea of the base circle design comes from [link] the zodiac symbols were researched from Wikipedia.

This stuff makes me glad I'm Envy, and, hence, have no need for this shit.

This is to MAKE the chimera. The chimera generated has one similar property to a Homonculus, not a Philosopher's stone, but similar concept.

As Envy cannot do alchemy, he has no need for this shit. Get someone else to deal with it.
And I know it's to make the chimera.
I probably couldn't do this... Unless I stopped being lazy....meh

I meant for the core of these particular chimeras. The chimera has an odd stone (jet black pearl from appearance) inside that is a mass of nonhuman souls. The stone is not as powerful as the Philosopher's stone, but it does have similar properties to that.

Ah, the thing you were talking about that one time in chat. I remember saying that it would be weaker than a Philosopher's stone as the animal's souls are weaker than a human's.

Oh! Wow! Amazing! O_O
Though, if you're going for the Hermetic Symbol of the Principals, the Horns should be Crecents, for the Spirit is Passive and Intuitive as the Moon, the Soul that it Crowns is the Perfect Active Intellect of the Soul, and the Cross that this King rules over is the Stable Body inwhich the Kingdom is founded on. This is the true power of Mercury.

Those horns are actually for nature (mind). Otherwise you're on the right track.

That's what the Mind is in Alchemy. All matters of Intellect and Creativity is alchemically said to come from the Lunar Spirit, where Emotional and Concious Mentality sources in the Solar Soul.

In Alchemy there's a very significant difference between the Soul and the Spirit. It is widely accepted that the Soul, which is the Heart in the Chakras and Kabbalic Meditation, is the Personal Self of Emotions and the Conscious Intuition. The Spirit, which is the Crown, is the Universal Self of Creativity and Subcounscious Intellect. However, tradtion has it that the Spirit is Intuition while the Soul is the Intellect.
It's actually rather paradoxical...

Now I'm understanding a little better. I might have to do some research on my own so I could understand that enough to be able to correct the design of the transmutation circle though.... unless you know a few sites to read up on the information.

Well, like I do for everyone else, AlchemyLab.com is one of the very few sites that can really get one properly educated and practicing.

The hand drawn version looked better, but scanning it fudged it up. So I did a digital lineart of it to make it look half way decent.

Oh I see but awesome looking none the less. Must've been hard to do

Not really. Honestly, I used a few items around the house to make the circles, arcs, and the straight lines. Copying the symbols wasn't that hard for me.

Oh I see. Well cool either way

Remind me again, what does this array do?
And very well done job!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It's for creating chimeras out of a bunch of animals. The array is set up to maximize stability and in a particular order. I used the symbols of the star signs from the zodiac as a form of organizing the transmutation process, which the ring of instructions clarifies what traits from what node/injection is desired in the physical creation of the chimera. The instructions null any possibility of the zodiac symbols stretching the transmutation process across a 9 month period. Though the month that the symbol dominates is the order, so the symbol of the star sign that starts in January (01) indicates to use that node first. The animal spirits of live animals used are combined into one condensed spirit within the chimera once the process has been completed. The symbols seen in the ring of instruction have a flow. Zodiac Sign (#): Symbol font instructions in simplified form (instructions). Understanding what the font spells out would help to pick out what desired traits from what animals/group of animals to use in the transmutation process. The process itself is a buildup effect. Starts off with the basic body from the first node, then pulls the specified traits (and soul) from the specified nodes on the array and adds it to the base body trait by trait until the transmutation is complete (this is sorta a culmination of alchemy, genetics, and some chemistry). One would have to figure out how many of each animal to use in the process to get the desired chimera with the desired degree of given traits.

I forgot to read the title of the deviation... wow.... I am out of it today...
But that is a good way of going about creating a chimera. I rather like it.

I was going to shoot for the inside out method, but because of all the possible internal biological setups that could occur, I figured it'd be best to just go with the buildup effect. And using the injections and nodes combination spaces the animals further out... which could save a major headache from occurring prior to transmutation..... in theory.
