Transmutation

>"Alchemy is the scientific technique of understanding the structure of matter, breaking it down, and then rebuilding it. If performed skillfully, it is even possible to create gold from lead. However , as it is a Science, certain natural principles are in place. Only one thing can be created from another of a certain mass. This is the principle of equivalent exchange .

Presentation of the chip ---

The transmutation chip is a power-enhanced version of the Mutation chip. Thus, Transmutation also increases your Max Life without healing you. Its effect will be multiplied according to the Science of the leek that throws it. Its area AoE square AREA_SQUARE_1 is more restricted and contrary to mutation, the caster cannot be placed in the center of the activation circle of the chip.

To prevent any appearance of homoculus, it is strictly forbidden to use these circles on leftover leeks. To bring back the tender stems of your comrades, no need for philosopher stones, please use the Resurrection chip like everyone else.

More details on how it works for circle maniacs:

Although no machine or equipment other than the chip is needed to produce the energy needed for transmutation, it is not enough to understand the sequence of transmutation and the limits of the equivalent exchange. The equivalent exchange in this case is the transfer of TP to Max Life.

In order to start an alchemical transmutation, a symbol called a transmutation circle (錬成陣, Renseijin) is needed. A transmutation circle can either be drawn on the spot when a transmutation is needed (in chalk, pencil, ink, paint, thread, leek blood or even drawn via your opponents tears) either etched or permanently inscribed on the body of the leek beforehand, but without it transmutation is usually impossible.

All transmutation circles consist of two parts:

The circle itself is a conduit that focuses and dictates the flow of power (nothing to do with getPower), tapping into the energies that already exist in the garden soil, the matter of the cosmos, and the sap of leeks. . It represents the cyclical flow of the energies and phenomena of the world and transforms this power into manipulable ends.

Inside the circle are specific alchemical runes. These runes or Chips vary considerably depending on studies, texts and alchemical experiments of ancient leeks whose knowledge is transmitted between leeks quantitatively in the form of a measurable value (in the sense of Lebesgue) named Science but correspond to a different form of energy, allowing the energy concentrated in the circle to be released in the way most conducive to the effect desired by the alchemist (EFFECT_NOVA_VITALITY). In basic alchemy these runes will often take the form of triangles (which when positioned differently can represent the elements of water, earth, fire or air), but will often be composed of variable polygons constructed from different triangles. Pythagoras himself would have been surprised at all that can be done with triangles. For example, the hexagram is a base rune commonly used in transmutation circles because it creates eight multi-directional triangles when inscribed and therefore can represent all four classical elements at once. Other more esoteric runes (including astrological symbols, symbolic images and different lines of text) are prevalent and represent a host of other specific functions for the alchemical energy that is released. And yes, our leeks don't just use a chip that goes putibutibutibu (click on the chip if you don't believe me) and adds max life. It's a bit more subtle even if in fact, the result is the same.

Fun detail: Normal manga transmutations tend to generate light blue, almost white light. It is the most common and versatile color produced. Which is reminiscent of the one used in this chip, as everything is well linked.
