章 226: Chapter 10 Tree Pattern: Life Drain

Giant Dragon Alchemy and Wizard Alchemy are profoundly different, focusing heavily on the metal itself.

Giant Dragons smelt metal, shaping it into their desired form, then "killing" the metal to alter its properties, and finally elevating the metal, solidifying its characteristics and strengthening it further.

Throughout this entire process, the metal remains unchanged in terms of substance.

However, the properties of the metal undergo changes; initially brittle metals become more ductile after treatment, and originally soft metals become harder.

This technique, while present in Wizard Alchemy, requires a high level of Alchemy Skill and complex Alchemy Arrays.

Yet Giant Dragons only need to touch the metal with their claws for this transformation to be completed.

Turning stone into gold is no different.

But there are flaws in Giant Dragon Alchemy as well; although it can make astounding changes to metals, this technique only works on metals, and not all metals at that.
