Features: Alchemy originated in ancient civilizations, and the transformation of metals is its symbolic act. However, the alchemists' "golden dream" is not limited to simply turning lead into gold; it involves a philosophy to a greater extent. This philosophy encompasses various forms of "experimental metaphysics" and thus gave rise to a magical language capable of communicating with spirits and a collection of peculiar images.
