Isn't that poor planning ?

I'll concede Tolkien and Prattchet tbh

@Crawfoot the gayest black man we know

tolkien is neat

"The main characters don't use it " then why bother

what's wrong with grrm then

Idk guys, Ron Weasley is pretty magical

amon amarth based their name on that

roy mustang can only use fire at will because he understands it and prepares beforehand for example

How is that

A hard system

I raise you phillip pullman too

Why does roy need to click his fingers

What are the weaknesses

amber spyglass dude

kais note
"he aight"

What allows people to learn alchemy

that's fantasy without elves and dwarves

only important people get a note

@soup dad That's all I can ask for

@Questgiver so basically to do cool shit you have to have degree in chemistry

being aight in my book

@Kai okay you're speaking from a position of ignorance here

is a damn fine accomplishment

No not really

i either hate people, tolerate them, or think they are okay

the weaknesses are that you cannot create or destroy matter, only reshape it. anyone can learn alchemy you just need to do scientific research and understand it

The only display of full use of the system were scar and kimbley

klatu baratu nikto

roy clicks his fingers so his alchemy thingy circuit forms between the fingers, and also to create a spark to light the gas he draws in with the alchemy

Most of the homunculi had distinct strengths based off of their personalities which is basically naruto

right

Idk I've been finding harder to engage with fiction as the years go on, there's so much crazy shit that *actually happened* I find it difficult to care a lot of the time

There's 3 basic rules of fma

the homunculi can do whatever they want alchemy wise because they have a philosophers stone

So why create a system

And the main focus is the exception

I'm the reverse, so much crazy shit happens I know I have no control over, that I like finding these worlds where you gradually work it out and things resolve

Don't get me wrong I still love fma

I just fundamentally question that aspect

because the exception involves a massive loss of human life and every exception is a tragedy
