Alchemist

Alchemy (錬金術 Renkinjutsu): is the scientific discipline involved with creation of Magic.

History
It's unknown whether or not the science of Alchemy has existed for as long Magic but it is known to have been around since the birth of Christ.

Much the situation of Mages, these days there are few people born with the ability to perform Magic; and due to the last "Great War", many magical users such as the Mages and Alchemists died. It has since become unusual, but not rare, to find young people with magical abilities and it's why many of them turn to abduction or slavery to obtain one.

Overview
Those who study and perform Alchemy is known as Alchemists. An Alchemist doesn't interfere with Natural Laws by breaking them, but instead, they study these laws and learn to manipulate them in order to achieve their desired result. As Alchemists aren't born with Magic in the form of magical energies inside their bodies, they are forced to access it by turning their own physical energy into magic with the use of Alchemy.

Usage
It's so far unknown to which extent Alchemy can be used to get the same results as a Mage, however, Alchemists are able to achieve the same outcome as Mages by tracing their "the path of their work". What Alchemists are able to perform on the other hand can range from creating chimeras, arms, devices that achieve the same results as teleportation, cause plants to grow at a rapid speed and manipulate the objects within their surrounding.
