Modern Alchemy encompassed a multitude of classifications.
Although its rise was relatively short compared to the histories that spanned thousands of years and the legacies of numerous familial clans, it became mainstream because it was founded on the basis of Ancient Alchemy, paving new pathways and directions. Not only did it standardize measurements, making it easier for successors to enter its halls, but its openness and inclusiveness also far surpassed that of Ancient Alchemy.
Over the course of several hundred years, it had absorbed the essence of Ancient Alchemy. After refining and integrating these elements, it developed over a dozen categories and disciplines based on the four fundamental principles of Ascension, Purification, extraction, and unification.
Life Science was unquestionably one of the main categories. It was intricately linked to the Vortex System and was also inseparable from the popular field of potion studies.
