Alchemist

Details

Alchemists seek to transmute reality to their will. Inspired by the mysterious capabilities of the Opus Stone, many Alchemist spend years carefully testing the Stone's powers of transmutation in search of the perfect formula to convert substances on the atomic level. They recognize the Stone's power of altering energy and perception as clear signs of its greater capabilities.
Few Alchemists share their knowledge with one another, it's more common to find a master and apprentice rather than a group. Because of this, society sees Alchemists as reclusive and unpredictable. More than once a rogue alchemist has caused havoc in the lower levels of a spaceport. But many who do consider themselves Alchemist consider their practice adjacent to their work. They incorporate their Alchemy into their fields of research in order to discover deeper truths that only the Stone can reveal. Still careful to keep this side work secret they carefully work in back rooms.
