Books On Alchemy Novels & Stories

However, as the locals always say, the strategists gain the land and the scholars grow the land. Of all these professions, the most prestigious would be alchemy and artefact crafting. A prestigious alchemist can cause a king to listen to his every word and make countless mercenaries fight for him. Alchemists were basically physicians- and overpowered ones at that. A great alchemist could bring a person close to the brink of death back to life in an instant. Their diagnosis were spot on, treatment techniques unique and unpredictable, and their aid invaluable. Alchemists could concoct potions and create pills that would be sought for by even emperors themselves.

“I don’t have definite proof, but I think all of you know that the ancient book in my hands contains records of cures to strange diseases. Other than this, it provides formulas on creating pills and characteristics of the third and fourth-grade spirit grass! It even has formulas on third-grade pills…” In all honesty, not many people knew about this. First Elder Cabello had rarely spoken about the contents of his books as well. He would always dodge questions whenever they came around. Since Master Hunt talked about the ultimate god realm though, he decided to share everything with everyone. “First Elder Cabello, can you let us see the formula for the third-grade pill then? I just want to tak

There were large leather-bound books, most of which looked shabby due to dust or old age. An old gold-bound book with foliage ornaments was located on the topmost bookshelf. It looked the thickest of all the books there. I was curious and looked at the contents. This book explains everything about witches, from rituals to how to fight with them. It was probably written by our predecessors. But some of the pages at the back talked about potions from plants as well as treatment steps using magic spells. I guess it's more similar to the rituals of white witches. I closed it and put it back on the shelf. Then I heard

Patrick, Dominic's beta, had taken his leave and quickly exited the place before Dominic could call him out for his mistake. Now, fryege carefully pulled out the book from his bag as if it was made of porcelain and held it in his hands. It was an ancient book with a large hardcover and its pages yellowed and delicate. Freyge showed his asset proudly to the mage who could only stare at the book in shock. “Where did you get that?” Looking at the book, he walked near and flipped a few pages carefully, not quite believing his eyes. It held information on curses, potions, and hexes along with ingredients, where to find them, the brewing process, and a lot more.

He stood for a second, until he too went down the road; he was more than intrigued who the storyteller was. SCENE II Deep beneath the crowed streets, hidden behind a secret web of tunnels and behind a mystical wall, an alchemist searched. The small candlelight glimmered against the dark wall, keep the darkness away. The alchemist lifted his weary head from the pile of scrolls, books, parchment that were scattered around his table and work area. Those stone-like eyes nervous looked at the parchment in front of him. He searched. Weary hands went across the old pages. Diagrams, anagrams, symbols, runes, carvings and etchings, occult symbols appeared and dissapeared with the turn of the pages. C

He ended up taking one whose cover had caught his attention, purple velvet, which seemed to be Ruvyn's favourite colour. He laid down on the bed again and opened the book, it was about the most famous wizards who lived, those who made history. Like Nostradamus who used to make predictions or Rasputin who was a famous healing wizard, who used his sorcery to treat the Tsar and his wife, many times, without forgetting Nicolas Flamel who was the alchemist to succeed, in creating the philosophers stone, and the elixir of life in the 17th century. All those strange people he read about in his fantasy books like Harry Potter existed also in their world and they were somehow related to his new frien

The pages are slightly yellowed, but I don't mind. There are words and pentagram sketches on almost every page. Medical notes. Herbs and their meanings and uses. Different ailments and their treatments… And near the middle of the book, I come across symbols of sorcery that I don’t fully understand. There are also spells and detailed notes on how the spells can be practiced alongside scientific experiments. Alchemy. That's it! The bridge between both worlds. This is gold. My heart aches with both happiness and sadness as I close the book and clutch it close to my chest. My mum wasn’t just a doctor. She was more.

Although his goal was to become a battlefield divine smith, I had no interest in the military-related books he liked. The only thing that caught my attention was a very thick volume titled Contemporary Ultimate Alchemy. Unfortunately, it was placed on the far upper-right corner of the shelf. I dragged over a stool to reach it, but the book was so heavy that it slipped from my hands and nearly smashed my head when it fell. A pile of papers scattered all over the floor. I never expected Loki to read things related to alchemy.

he asked, his voice already laced with suspicion. I exhaled, slow. My tongue felt too large in my mouth. “Page 117,” I said. He stilled. I didn’t need to explain further. He knew what I meant. Callum Thorne had a quiet obsession with the advanced alchemical theory texts Professor Zelda kept locked behind his desk cabinet—specifically, the first edition copy of Astrum’s Theory of Etheric Bloom Convergence, a book so dense it made most of the upperclassmen groan, and so rare that even the library kept only a facsimile. He’d spent months trying to get a full look at the annotations in the original margin notes—especially the ones on page 117, which were rumored to contradict modern interpretati

A part of me believed that he stayed just to watch me. “How did you even know which ingredients alchemists need? I mean, there are not just common ones here. There are plenty uncommon and rare ones as well.” “I read some books,” Demian said simply. “Some books? Demian, this is impressive. You said you had no prior knowledge about alchemy. But it doesn’t seem that way. I refuse to believe you learned about all these ingredients in such a short amount of time,” I said. “I just can learn quickly.”
