2nd Transmutation | [video, action for Saffron] SAVE THE KITTIES

[armoredsoul]

Just how common is all this stuff?

[Yeah, that's a very panicked Alphonse on the screen, with two Espurrs clinging very tightly to his head. Painfully tight, in fact, judging from that wince. And it looks like there are more huddling around Al--seriously, someone needs to find homes for them before he adopts every single damn one of them.]

At least the poor things don't seem to be hurt from it, but this is crazy! I heard about that storm with the Sharpedo, but this doesn't even make sense!

Well, the first makes sense.

Why don't they believe in it?

{Sorry Al, this is happening.}

Alchemy is considered a science where I'm from, and it follows the natural laws. The idea of something that can allow you to create matter from nothing or perform a transmutation far beyond what anyone could normally accomplish? It's crazy, just old legends that took what normal alchemical catalysts can do and blew it up into this amazing thing.

...intriguing.

Technically speaking, I could create a kind of matter from nothing, although that ability has been stripped from me here.

Wait, really? How did you do that??

I am proficient in what we call kidou, and can - if certain conditions are met - call forth chains and platforms from thin air.


....kidou is essentially a type of magic, though.

That's still really cool, though! Do the platforms and everything stay permanently, or do they go away after a while?

They can - in theory - stay there as long as I want them to. But usually, I dismiss them as soon as I don't need them - they do cost energy to keep them there.
