Description
Once again, I am turning the infamous FMA alchemy into the real world alchemy. In FMA, Father was seen trying to decide who he needed to use as sacrifices to open the gate. Well he had a very interesting array, but again, I found it would not work in our form of alchemy. Well i figured it wouldn't be right if I didn't make the proper array, so I did.The shapes you see on the outside array are of my own creation. The shape is known as the Unending Pentagonal Multi-gram. Its basically infinite. The shape can be used to create a philosophers stone, affix souls to objects, create homonculi, and so much more! Its wonderful! Well these outside arrays are used to RIP the souls out of the bodies. The bodies are used as the cost to open the gate, and the highly experienced and well priced souls are the cost for entering the gate.
The pentagram accesses the gate. Thats pretty simple...

Whether or not there is a gate of truth or what ever... what exactly would be the point of this... i mean i am very grateful that you found the proper alchemical circle for summoning the gate via sacrification but getting from our universe to there is dangerous enough alone, who wants to make homunculi, and so forth. Besides through extreme study and work a replication of a human can be made... their just a wasteful parasite though so why make a replica.

could i use zero contact to sent a transmutation inside the gate without going in and risking having something taken?

mmmm..... I don't know. Probably not....

Human transmutation is dangerous, especially if the chance exists for the gate to open. Attempting to open the gate on your own is doubly dangerous if you don't have anything you're willing to give up and if you can't bargain with Truth. But attempting to open the gate using sacrifices will have you killed in an instant. And if you survive doing that, I'll find you and rip your throat out. GOT IT?

I'm a little suspicious about changing what happened on FMA. I mean isn't that what you are basing your work on? I really hope so.
Also, you should do more explanation on the circles that actually took place in FMA (specifically the botany alchemy(that would be awesome))

I need to delete this one. I am hesitant to it's usefulness and effectiveness.
And that was back when I was angry because people kept thinking my stuff was off FMA. It was all original, and to stress that, I said it wasn't FMA alchemy. But now people realize these are original, so I don't stress it anymore. Besides, there really isn't a difference between old alchemy and FMA alchemy, but I was just going a bit nuts, I done s'pose.

huh.... interesting concept. Though I think, if that style of alchemy were real, to use this array you would have to have an almost incestuously deep and intimate understanding of reality.
The theory of transmutaion circles is that the circle represents the energy flow of the world, and the additional symbols and geometric diagrams represent the various manifestations of that energy.
The wiki says "all Transmutation Circles are made up of two parts:
The circle itself is a conduit which focuses and dictates the flow of power, tapping into the energies that already exist within the earth and matter. It represents the cyclical flow of the world's energies and phenomena and turns that power to manipulable ends.
Inside the circle are specific alchemical runes. These runes vary widely based on ancient alchemical studies, texts and experimentation, but correspond to a different form of energy, allowing the energy that is focused within the circle to be released in the way most conducive to the alchemist's desired effect... more esoteric runes (including astrological symbols, symbolic images and varying lines of text) are prevalent and represent a multitude of other, specific functions for the alchemical energy that is released."
My take on it is that the "runes" and geometric arrays are almost like a kind of circuitry, representing a mulitude of elemental 1's and 0's, in turn representing diversions and alterations of the flow of energy. The circles themselves are metaphors of the alchemist's understanding and interpretation of the laws, forming a three-part system: The energy flow of the world, the diagram representing the conversion of the flow to a desired effect, and the Alchemist's understanding of the correspondence between the varying forms of energy and matter.
The circle focuses the understanding of the Alchemist, bridging gaps via the inherent ambiguity of the symbology; Once you have seen "The Truth", your understanding of the flow of energ(y/ies) is complete, making it so you merely need to mimic the flow of energy to remember how to manipulate it.
what is your take on it?

I mean this is the nicest way and with no disrespect, but my take was "Blah blah blaaaaah blah blah blah blaaah..."
You said lots of facts, but what are you getting at?
And I really don't mean to come across rude, and I hope I'm not. So sorry if I did.

I understand. It was a ton of information. I get like that. You seemed to know what you were talking about with your designs, so I was curious.

Curious about what, exactly?

Sorry for the long reply, I've been gone for awhile.
Curious about your interpretation of the occult/arcane aspect of alchemy. Theres an abstract chemistry/symbology to it that almost makes sense.

I don't really do to much with arcane junk. I look more at it from science. Unless there is something I want to do that breaks the physical laws of science; that's when I break into arcane.
