[ al's currently on floor 6, like... literally the floor, which has books and papers shoved aside so that there's a clear space. at first, the feed is a little shaky as he adjusts it, and then it's visible that he's got a rather large pile of dirt sitting in front of him. giving the feed a shy grin, he claps his gloved hands together and transmutes the material. there's a blinding flash of blue and yellow lightning and a whirl of dust. when it all fades, there's a pot with flowers sitting in the spot where the pile of dirt had been.

pleased with himself, al grins at the camera. ]


What with all the snow and everything, I thought people might be getting a little tired of the cold weather, so if people want some fresh plants to liven up their homes or rooms, I'd like to help.

[ he lifts up the pot and brings the flowers into focus. ]

I can make all types of things, if people want. My brother and I are still running a repair business for just about anything you can imagine, so please let me know!

[ setting the pot down again, he settles cross legged on the floor. ]

I was also thinking of all the different abilities people have here. For example, I'm an alchemist and you all just saw what I can do. But what can other people do? I mean, if it's not too much to ask, I'd like to ask a few questions.

But... you did so without any particular process. You merely... placed your hands down... and it was done. That is highly improbable. Alchemy of any kind usually involves some sort of process, such as heating an ingredient or dissolving it in a solution.

[In other words, THAT WAS TOO FAST, AL.]

[Tieria considered that for a moment.]

So, it is something of a power, but one that can be learned. Methods for such things back home require much more time, as there is no such thing as a transmutation circle to channel energy in that way.

Yes. There are no circles and activating of energy through one's body like that. It is not quite as mystical. Instead, we use heat and electricity and solvents and more manual methods of combining elements to create what we want.
