Alchemical processes

Back when Raeky was creating alchemy, he wanted to cut+paste
dozens of alchemical processes from real-life sources without any kind of discrimination. I managed to talk him out of it.
Now they've been added in there again.

Occam's Razor applies 100% in Majik design. Whatever processes Majik alchemy uses, they must be atomic processes. ie. processes which cannot be further subdivided and have no common properties.

Digestion and cineration are one and the same process, applied in different amounts. Remove one.

Crystallization and evaporation are one the same process, applied in different amounts. Again, remove one.
Grinding an pulverization are one and the same process.
Remove one.

I hope you get my point. This applies to all Majik design.

lol

There has to be some different skills in alchemy that one uses to process/purify/make/react? or am i wrong?

Alright, i just wanted to make a distiction between an easy processes and difficult ones.

Crystallization and evaporation are similar but different. but i can combine into one skill.
