I (1) 4 The alchemical manifestation of special items: Dying to know the truth by Daithi Based upon my alchemical research pursuits I can now confirm, what many have suspected. Killing of major souls can yield special items. It is hypothesized that a major soul can acquire the alchemical item associated with the element dominated by killing a soul of that same, dominated element. It is further hypothesized that a major soul can acquire the alchemical special item of his or her own element by killing a soul of the same element. It is hypothesized that one can acquire the special alchemical items of the element a major soul supports by killing another major soul of that supported element. In hopes of acquiring various such items I have attempted to kill off souls of various elements. To this point I personally have dispatched Leaf, Metal, Sky, and Earth souls, mostly glazed over folks, a few suspected multis and a couple of aggressive people. Despite repeated attempts, as an Earth soul, I have only been able to receive starstone for my troubles. So, I have had my research assistant, a Leaf soul, conduct similar experiments. Then I happened to notice and briefly confirmed an independent result, of a Water soul. The following is a categorical archive of results: Attacker Relates Victim Result Earth Same Earth 0 Earth Domi nates Sky Starstone Earth Supports Me tal 0 Earth Is supported Leaf 0 Leaf Same Leaf 0 Water Dominates Earth Earthbone Based upon this initial results, we can confirm the first hypothesis: to acquire a special item one can kill a soul of the element which one dominates. There is no evidence in the current study to support the second hypothesis. Thus we can conclude that hostilities between souls of the same element will not produce alchemical items. As to the third hypothesis, there has been only one result for that particular relationship. So initially we can find not evidence to support it, but more research is necessary with other elements to provide definitive results. Future relational research might investigate the one relationship not examined in this study, the soul of a dominated element killing the soul of a dominating element (e.g. Sky is dominated by Earth yielding ???). To conclude the surest method for acquiring alchemical special items is to kill the soul of a dominated element (e.g. Water dominates Earth & yeilds Earthbone). For those of you who wish to test these results for yourselves, I invite you to attack your nearest glazed over neighbor. They are just dying for you to know. |
