State Alchemist

"An Alchemist is an individual who specialises in practising and studying alchemy. As the craft of alchemy requires a full understanding of chemistry, physics and ancient alchemical theory, alchemists are closer to scientists than magicians, but the ability to perform alchemy is also tied to an inherent talent for manipulating matter and energy, so not all people can become competent alchemists merely by studying."

3rd Level - Alchemy
When you choose this tradition at 3rd level, through your study and understanding of the laws and physics of the world you gain the ability to perform Alchemy. In order to perform Alchemy you must use a transmutation circle that you either draw, stitched into your clothing, or tattooed onto your body. You must also follow the rule of equivalent exchange in which in order for something to be created something of equal value must be lost.
