Alchemy is a natural philosophy. What philosophy is has changed over the time that alchemy has been a separate topic and for example the otherwise brilliant Sir Isaac Newton ignored some warnings that people who took certain texts about the transmutation of elements too literally were nothing more than empty puffers. He suffered for this and it may have killed him. The Voinich Manuscript at Yale is a genuine alchemical text which we can't decipher -- despite it having been published online where anyone can try -- because while we know enough about its origin to guess the original language or languages plausibly we cannot be sure of what the original subject was. It contains many drawings of plants, most of which are fanciful. Nicholas Flaumel's alleged writings are apparently pseudoepigraphica -- works attributed to an older authority to give them more credibility. Flaumel was famous in his lifetime and for some time after as a rare book dealer. He was real but may not have even been an alchemist. Can someone study Alchemy? Yes. Can they learn it? That depends. It's not as simple as even most scholars think, and is a philosophy, not a chemistry.

what you are looking sounds to me like,biochemistry ,
or a sub division in chemistry,like,Alternative biochemistry (It includes biochemistries that use atoms other than carbon to construct primary cellular structures and/or use solvents besides water.The most commonly proposed basis for an alternative biochemical system is the silicon atom, since silicon has many chemical properties similar to carbon and is in the same periodic table group, the carbon group.),and here is another one,Biochemistry is the study of the chemical processes and transformations in living organisms. It deals with the structure and function of cellular components, such as proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids, and other biomolecules. Chemical biology aims to answer many questions arising from biochemistry by using tools developed within synthetic chemistry.however in the links
there are a couple of sites that deals with potions and things related to alchemy,this is all the help i could provide you at
this moment.

is the poison for the vampyres? you can't poison a vampire. if it's for ants or rats, try your local hardware store. if it's for peeps, don't do it. they are watching, you know. you just tipped them off.
