	Power Play Records - Grand Alchemist interview
		The great thing about Grand Alchemist has always been that all of the members have totally different taste of music, which contributes to give the band that unique and complex sound, I think Grand Alchemist has got.
		We are going to play live at the Inferno-Festival 2003 and another show in our hometown, Holmestrand at the end of March (no date confirmed yet).
		You certainly sound classically trained and I must say your playing is very impressive (as is the rest of the band).

		Alchemists tend to reserve their greatest respect for wizards, who are in a sense the scientist to their engineer.
		An alchemist may swap only a single spell at any given level and must choose whether or not to swap the spell at the same time that he gains new spells known for the level.
		When the alchemist builds his vials, he must choose then which element type the vial is from his available elements, and it cannot be changed, though it can be discarded.

		Play and Plague in Ben Jonson's The Alchemist

	King's School - The Alchemist
		The play, a comic parody satirising greed, lust and avarice, was performed to large audiences, and received exceedingly positive feedback - both for the outstandingly committed, talented and successful actors, and for the work of an exceptional 'behind-the-scenes' crew composed almost exclusively of students.
		From the elaborate backdrop, portraying a London gripped by the plague and wallowing in the quagmire of its own misery, to the arcane furnishings of an alchemist's study, the set, costumes and properties used transported us all into a world of betrayals, lechery, plot and counter-plot, all portrayed with sophisticated irony and in hilarious tune.
		For all this, it was the work of the cast, steeping themselves in the class-hierarchy and ludicrous caricaturing of Victorian London (the setting for this rendition), which made the play a joy to watch and to be a part of.

	Alchemist Press&Review
		With great graphics, a neat idea, and wonderful sound and gameplay, The Alchemist is worth the download time for all, and the registration fee of $20 for most puzzle lovers.
		This lends The Alchemist an almost leisurely feel, allowing the player time to think through the various possible placements on the board.
		Graphically, The Alchemist is beautiful -- visuals range from the soft neon glow of the vials to the sparkle and shimmer that fill the air when vials are eliminated from the board.

	Alchemy
		Because the origins of alchemy predated Christianity, the medieval Church viewed it with suspicion, "good reason for the alchemists of the Middle Ages to wrap their work in the costume of metallurgy, and thereby hope to avoid being persecuted as heretics" (Alchemy 23).
		Chaucer's canon's yeoman is disgusted with his master, the charlatan canon, and his "tale" is actually an exposé of slimy alchemist cons.
		Like Chaucer's character, alchemists did use stills, ovens, water baths, furnaces, and bellows for their operations, which included calcination (the reduction of a solid to a powder using heat), "sublimation" (the heating of a substance until it vaporizes), fusion, crystallization, and distillation (Holmyard 45).

		Finkel's apathy reached new heights when he stopped playing for a month prior to Chicago, and planned on not going despite the fact that the tournament was the last Pro Tour he was qualified for.
		Herzon's curve continued with a third turn morph creature, and the Alchemist got through for a point thanks to Imagecrafter nullifying a Taskmaster activation prior to blocking.
		With the Alchemist in play, this was bad news unless Finkel could find a way to kill the Imagecrafter.

		LONDON A National Theater presentation of a play in two acts by Ben Jonson.
		He has persuaded a list of men that Subtle (Jennings) is an alchemist whose mysterious powers can solve all their problems and even turn base metal into gold...
		As played by lanky and sweetly nervy Amit Shah, the role is wittily re-imagined as an Indian shopkeeper, a transformation that springs directly from a textual reference to "my olive-colored skin."

		The plot that unfolds during the game involves the experiments of a mad alchemist who is making monsters for some lunatic’s war-machine.
		Considering the publisher, I suppose it’s fitting that Fullmetal Alchemist’s combat system is comprised entirely of the Square button, although if you have a transmuted weapon you can do throw in a tap of the Circle button for a retarded combo (i.e.
