Talk:Transmutation circle
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I remember somewhere, somebody asked for the ingredients of a human transmutation to check with his medical books and see if they were accurate. Now I can't find where the discussion was held, but here it is: 35 liters water, 20 kg carbon, 4 liters ammonia, 1.5 kg lime, 800 g phosphorus, 250 g salt, 100 g niter, 7.5 g fluorine, 5 g iron, 3 g silicon (that's how it's presented in the third episode). I am also curious to know if this recipie is accurate, and maybe it could be worked into an article
- It's on Wikiquote, here. --66.212.42.47 03

I'm fairly sure Roy Mustang (in the anime at least) doesn't click his fingers for the actual alchemy. His gloves are said to be made of "ignition cloth" which, when rubbed, will create a spark and ignite the higher concentration of O2 he transmuted. 203.173.236.231 13:13, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
I think that this is incorrect:
-
- In most cases, transmutation circles that are on gloves or tattoos require the user to clap their
- hands together in order to invoke their power. However, there are some exceptions; Roy Mustang
- merely needs to snap his fingers to create flames, while people with alchemically-adorned
- bracelets, pendants, or gauntlets may perform any of a number of different movements, depending on
- the article itself.
I belive that the cases where the user must clap his hands together are only when part of the circle is drawn on each hand (eg, Crimson Alchemist). Otherwise all that is nessicary is contact with the circle. As mentioned above, the actuall alchemy in Mustangs flame attack occurs with no physical action on his part.
However, I am not certain and my understanding is not complete (I have not seen the end of the series). --ender 05:04, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Words on the circle
Should it be mentioned in the article that the Transmutation circle depicted says the following?
-
- Pale white and black with false critine, imperfect white and red.
- The peacock's feathers in bright colors, the rainbow in the sky above.
- The spotted panther, the green lion, the crow's beak blue as lead.
- These shall appear before you in perfect white, and many more others.
- After the perfect white follows the grey and false critine also.
- And after these shall appear the substance invarible.

[edit] Alchemy and circles...
A freack Info: Alchemy had relation with the transmutation circles and ourobores. I'm an alchemist in training and the teory points to that...
[edit] "circuiting the energy of 'See Spoiler below' into it"
Okay, seriously, WTF? It's the first time I see something like THAT in Wikipedia and it sounds non-encyclopedic. Unless somebody objects, I am changing it. Jaimeastorga2000 04:44, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
- KK, no objections? I am changing it. Jaimeastorga2000 00:27, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
