Description
Another piece that was suggested and I was happy to do. This array will take human bodies and create a philosophers stone. Here is how it works:Depending on how big the circle is will depend on how many people you can sacrifice. Say this is a relatively small array. One body can fit into each outer circle. You will place one body in each outer circle, then give them a nice little cut. Make sure he/she bleeds a little. Now, we clap out hands, touch the outer edge of the circle and BAM!!!!
You will need tons of sacrifices to complete a good sized philosophers stone.
Now some will say that this array is a little to simple. "I saw an array on FMA Brotherhood and it was just a few well placed pentagrams. Why all this stuff?"
Well lets start with your first problem: FMA.
FMA has its own form of alchemy. Agian, this is traditional alchemy, NOT FMA ALCHEMY!!!!
The way it works is it starts by seperating the body, mind, and soul. The body and soul are left behind, but the soul is kept floating around in the array. The souls are then smashed together in the middle near-center circle.
I would get into detail about how the whole thing works, but Im really tired, its really late, and I think you all can trust me.

well, what's the script? It looks Greek...and how did you type that?

*Insert usual "I don't remember and I'm too lazy to see if I have it somewhere" statement*
It's that same greek font I love so much.
How did I type it? What do you mean? Like, the swirly effect? That just came with Serif.Β

Ah, it's a font. Okay. That's what I meant. I'd type it on a circular path on Illustrator, so I got that base covered. Thanks1

Hi I hope you get this but I was wondering for this array for the philosophers stone wouldn't this stoneΒ it artifical? I was actually doing research about the mythical stone and it said that the stone is created by nature like stones/gems for example. And your stone requires human sacrofices although it is powerful, wouldn't the stone do more harm than good if its not a product of nature, because the array is taking life as to the legend it creates? Can you tell me please, its just something to know to wrap my brain around it. thank you

This is a different philosophers stone. There are many legends as to how they are created. This one, based of Fullmetal Alchemist, uses humans souls. And yes, it's not a good thing. Very selfish.

Those are Greek gibberish that can't be even spoken

You are completely right! I think I got really lazy on this one...

HAHA! The omega symbol. You cheater. You used Alt-234 to make it. Like this Ξ©.
I found out because I googled the symbol and it looks exactly the same as the one I entered in Serif. You're using the font Times New Roman for it.

No, I didn't. I used the Greek text. It might behoove you to refrain from such assumptions in the long run. While this is a minor one, it's less than fun responding to this.
Besides, using a character from any list or font is 'cheating' as you so put it. It's using a free resource.
Lastly, what cares what I did.
π: 0 β©: 1
Sorry. I'll admit I was an asshole on that one. But I just found it hilarious was all. To use text instead of drawing it by hand. But anyway, what do you mean you used the "Greek Text"?
π: 0 β©: 1
I should have said Greek Font. It's just a font style in the font bank of my dear, old, and sweet computer.

I have trouble finding the symbol on the left though. If I knew what it was, that would help.
π: 0 β©: 1
The closest thing I can find is α΅Ή. It looks different in Times New Roman but it still isn't the same as the one you have.
π: 0 β©: 1
Wait. I think I found it. Ξ΄. In times new roman, it's not zig zagged. It's curved. The character's name is Greek Small Letter Delta.

I thought the Philosopher's Stone in traditional alchemy was through processing materials through the Magnum Opus. What's the difference between the Philosopher's Stone from this compared to the one that isn't made from souls?
π: 0 β©: 1
One has a better plot line for books and television shows. The other is horrifyingly boring

why does there need to be sacrifice to create a philosophers stone? what does the stone do?
π: 0 β©: 1
The stone is, in FMA, made from human souls, which drive stronger alchemic reactions and allow for human transmutation to be completed. The only way to harvest those souls is to steal them from the bodies of the living, which kills them.
π: 0 β©: 1
yeah, but to create a real Philosopher's Stone, you just need 3 pure metals.
π: 0 β©: 1
Not in FMA. You needed pure souls. That's what this was based on.
π: 0 β©: 1
dude, an alchemist wrote a book on how to create one. 
π: 0 β©: 1
I heard about that. It's very interesting. Now making a stone in real life is a far cry from that of FMA, so I'm confident a real life stone is rather lacking of human soul
π: 0 β©: 1
yeah, just three pure metals, philosophical antimony, philosophical gold, and philosophical mercury.
π: 0 β©: 1
How interesting. My method uses a small portion of life force from every living organism on the planet, right down to the last microbe (kind of like the spirit bomb from Dragon Ball Z) condensed into a solid form using pure thermal energy from molten rock, andΒ a composite material known as Carmot (see "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Alchemy), which is made from numerous chemical and mineral substances. Transmutation circle coming soon!Β

Neat! ((haha, it's been a long time, I had completely forgotten that I made this comment.....

I didn't realize this was part of your question above, so I answered '42' because it is the universal answer for when I have no idea.
π: 0 β©: 1
The answer to life, the universe, and everything. 42. It would be interesting to incorporate the number 42 into alchemy

I'm kinda squimish about the sacrifices. Is there another way to make the stone with out human sarifices?
π: 0 β©: 2
watch the fma star of milos movie. you can make a stone from blood since its like a portion of your soul. i doubt it'd be as powerful since it isnt a whole soul but you dont have to kill people. just rob the blood banksΒ Β
π: 0 β©: 1
I won the movie. Brilliant idea, but it took like fifteen ishvalans to make a stone the size the milosians made with thousands of Amestrian soldiers.
π: 0 β©: 1
uhhh you mean this stone? 26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzd⦠that was made from the blood of 2/3 people... not 1000s of amestrians

Not that I know of.

From what I learned of Alchemy is that it is all hypothetical. All those symbols were created as a form of hidden math that would help the alchemist denote elements in constructing work. Each alchemist has their own theories and secret symbols/formulas. Really good work, I like it! What is with the Omega symbol?
π: 0 β©: 1
The Omega symbol was used for heightened condensing of the soul to make it "Soul Matter"

is this really true??i'm so curious about alchemists and their stuff...
can anyone tell me...
π: 0 β©: 1
No it is not. It is simply an art form based around a theoretical science. But the arrays look good, and it brings out the imagination.
π: 0 β©: 1
do you know more about alchemy???
π: 0 β©: 0
Wut exactly is alchemy anyway? I looked it up in the dict. But its deff was the foruner of chemistry. I used to luv watchin fma when I was litle but I don't tink it is acurate. Plz tell me I am so curious.
π: 0 β©: 2
Well my definition of this alchemy is that it is a way of encoding various scientific and magical tasks in an array format, such as in FullMetal Alchemist. There is traditional alchemy where they looked for the source of immortality and a way to make lesser metals into gold. However, alchemy has taken on so many meanings as of late. If you want to find others, just look over some of my other deviations. Lots of people like to slander me saying my alchemy is wrong and they are correct in the use of the term. I can't point one out specifically, but I never remove those comments just in case you want to reference them.

So how does that clappin yor hands thing exactly work with alchemy?
π: 0 β©: 1
It represents the circular flow of energy within the body, which is then transfered to the circle. However, there is also dispute that it is done as prayer. But the most popular is the flow of energy

Alchemy is the science of understsnding deconstructing and reconstructing matter...I have to be honest. I only starting out in alchemy, I'm not even a legit alchemist...yet. So I don't completly know if thats acurate.
I got interested in alchemy because, I wanted to know what alchemy is...real alchemy...not FMA alchemy.
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh thnkz 4 tellin me this. And you can actually perform alchemy? If this is true can u tell me how it works. I also wanted 2 know wut real alchemy is 2. I still like fma but I don't watch it as much anymore.
