>>28963331Also, as a fellow Maggot, I wanna bounce a few more ideas from you.
1: Golems. Society would involve a lot of them, from the smallest, knee high chibis to help around the house, to massive, multiple stories high goliaths used in construction. Would need to hammer out the details, but this is one thing I really wanted to do.
This way we also get plenty of manpower for any wars that might arise1.5: Hand cloaks. For a normal alchemist to rise to the rank of Magister, he undertakes a dangerous ritual in which he bonds with X substance while at the same time creating a golem, and if he doesn't lose himself/explode/melt/burn/blink out of existence in the process, the "cloak" is now bonded to him. They can move the hands like they were their own, are innately attuned to the substance they bonded with(Idk what this would mean yet, still a rough draft) and as their proficiency rises, they can attempt the ritual again to increase the number of hands. The greatest masters wouldn't even need to actually wear the cloak, but could use the substance around them, if available, as material for hands. These would be extremely rare however, we would have 10 tops in the whole country.
>>28964676I'm gonna be honest, I only really joined /mag/ today after watching the debut and being sold on our guy, so you will have to brief me on them. They could potentially be included under 1st idea, since the forms of the golems would vary greatly.
