"Alchemy is one of the most magical words in our language and it means Transformation.  Transformation is simply change.  Life is constantly changing all around us but not all of this change qualifies as alchemy.  Only those changes that transform the essence, the substance, of existence.  In Legend, alchemy denoted the Wizards power to turn base metal into gold.  However, that was a symbol for a deeper much more profound transformation….the alchemy of Spirit."
