I Have Something to Say

I just finished reading up on the magnum opus of alchemy, it's a interesting field as it was ones regarded as a scientific field but now we know that it was nothing more then tricks and illusions. A little saddening but still very interesting.

the gold the wanted from lead,, was not as it seemed
the lead was ordinary man,, flawed ignorant and "base"
