sulit[A young and animated voice rings through this audio post. For those who know Klaudia and the pace at which she rambles, it sounds like she's deep in the middle of one of her thought experiments.]
So, here's a question: Has anyone looked into why alchemy can't be used with living materials?
For instance, what's the difference between a living tree and a log? You would think nothing--it's the exact same materials. Same elements, same structure. One's connected to the ground and the other isn't, but all the right pieces are there for alchemizing, and yet... Nothing! You can't transmute with it. I tried a bunch of times, and a bunch of different ways.
There has to be something that's blocking alchemy from using those materials.
I've been thinking about this for a few days now, and I can't figure it out. I noticed that we have some new kinds of magic about. And see-- green magic and blood magic both interact with living things, so it's not a matter of living material being incompatible with magic. So what gives?
If you have any relevant information on the topic, let me know. Oh! And would anyone with green magic be willing to help me with a small experiment?
Thanks~
