Can I do alchemy like in fullmetal Alchemist and how?

Only if you are a Russian Nuclear Chemist...\n\nToday particle accelerators routinely transmute elements. A charged particle is accelerated using electrical and/or magnetic fields. In a linear accelerator, the charged particles drift through a series of charged tubes separated by gaps. Every time the particle emerges between gaps, it is accelerated by the potential difference between adjacent segments. In a circular accelerator, magnetic fields accelerate particles moving in circular paths. In either case, the accelerated particle impacts a target material, potentially knocking free protons or neutrons and making a new element or isotope. Nuclear reactors also may used for creating elements, although the conditions are less controlled. \n\nIn nature, new elements are created by adding protons and neutrons to hydrogen atoms within the nuclear reactor of a star, producing increasingly heavier elements, up to iron (atomic number 26). This process is called nucleosynthesis. Elements heavier than iron are formed in the stellar explosion of a supernova. In a supernova gold may be made into lead, but not the other way around.

Alchemist: An alchemist is a person who practices alchemy.\n\nAlchemy: Alchemy is an early protoscientific and philosophical discipline combining elements of chemistry, metallurgy, physics, medicine, astrology, semiotics, mysticism, spiritualism, and art. Alchemy has been practiced in ancient Egypt, India, and China, in Classical Greece and Rome, in the Islamic empire, and then in Europe up to the 19th century — in a complex network of schools and philosophical systems spanning at least 2500 years.

SMALL CRYSTALS\nYou need to warm 100cm3 of water and add 39g of potassium aluminium sulphate (alum). Stir until no more crystals will dissolve.Pour this saturated solution into a large evaporating basin and leave for several days to crystallise. \nGROWING LARGE CRYSTALS FROM SMALL ONES\nMake a new saturated solution of potassium aluminium sulphate and allow it to cool down. Place the dish or beaker of new saturated solution in a place where the temperature will vary as little as possible.Using forceps, pick out the best potassium aluminium sulphate crystal from the evaporating basin.Drop this into the cold saturated solution and leave it for a few days.Using forceps, turn the crystal every day so that it can grow equally on all sides.The secret is to keep the solution in a place which is no warmer by day than by night. An alternative method of growing your crystals is to tie a piece of thread around the starting crystal, then suspend it in the cold saturated solution. Leave in a constant temperature environment. (Alum crystals grow well using this method).You can grow crystals around a wire shape which can be suspended in the saturated solution. Crystals form best on rough surfaces, so use cotton-covered electrical wire or plain wire wrapped with thread or light string.

errr, grind metals to a fine powder and mix them together and press them and you can get alloys physically impossible to make by forging.\n\numm, grind metal very fine so the oxidise and use them to make metal fires, such as "thermalite" for welding traintracks.

Hey cable_ray,\n     One of the most easiest way to get the recipie you require or any other synthesis can be found on the following website. It is the organic synthesis website, maintained by cambridgesoft.com. It is a free service they provide. You can use it. Just put in the name of the ether you want to produce eg. dimethyl ether, diethyl ether, etc. I am an MSc by research student. So you can also mail me. I will surely reply. my mail add is jchemie@gmail.com

alchemy is the base of chemistry to a point.  alchemy.com will get you started, but don't expect to turn lead into gold.  that takes nuclear chem...

Bah. Elves. -2 constitution makes the free weapon proficiencies useless. No point at all unless you plan on dexterity exploits.\nWait, are we talking D&D?

Fullmetal Alchemist is set in the early 20th century, in an alternate-historical Earth with technology dating from the era around 1900 in Europe. In this alternate world, the science of alchemy is heavily used, but takes on a fantasy element. Real-world alchemists tried to transmute gold from lesser metals. In the series, alchemy becomes the science of transmuting matter into different matter through the use of transmutation circles -- a scientific, yet equally magical practice, with seemingly infinite uses. Talented alchemists can become the military's State Alchemists. Against this backdrop, the series portrays the quest of the young Edward Elric, the Fullmetal Alchemist, and his younger brother Alphonse, for the legendary Philosopher's Stone. Their adventures lead them to discover the truth about their past and the very world they live in. Edward and Alphonse Elric were children living in the rural village of Rizembool in the country of Amestris. Their father, an alchemist, had left home when Edward was very young and Alphonse was a baby. Years later, their mother, Trisha Elric, died of an illness. In February 1910 the boys decided to attempt to revive their deceased mother. They study alchemy with a teacher and then use their father's notes to recreate a human transmutation circle. However, this attempt fails, costing Edward his left leg and Alphonse his entire body. In a desperate effort to save his brother, Edward sacrifices his right arm to "affix" his brother's soul to a suit of armor. After that, Edward's left leg and right arm are fitted with two sets of Automail, a type of advanced prosthetic limb. A State Alchemist by the name of Roy Mustang arrives during the failed transmutation in response to letters the boys had sent out seeking information about their father. After seeing their skill at alchemy, Mustang suggests that the way to achieve their goals is to become a State Alchemist and work for him. Spurred on by the man's proposal, Edward sets out to become a State Alchemist, enabling him to use the resources available to State Alchemists to discover a way to restore what he and Alphonse have lost. The brothers eventually learn of the Philosopher's Stone and set off in search of it as a means to restore their bodies.

Alchemy is real.  It is not magic.  It is a science and a philosophy and a way of life.\n\nIt is based upon the principle that everything is connected and changeable.  The use of the "right paraphernalia" is not as important as the initiation of the "correct actions."  This is summarized by the phrase: "As above, so below" or as better translated "As inside, so outside."\n\nThe concept of "equivalent exchange" is a logical interpretation of "nothing is gained without loss" and is the first step in understanding the process of sharing.\n\nThe Philosopher's Stone is the end result of what is called the Great Work.  Although started by many, the processes are complex and so the Work is completed by few.  The initial phase is the discipline of the mind and the separation of perception from thought processes and emotions.\n\nUnlike most magical rituals, the steps of Alchemy can be studied and learned, but they cannot be taught.

It does. Just not how you think.\nThere are two types of Alchemy, sometimes blended. Sometimes having nothing to do with each other.\n\n1:Spiritual Alchemy\nThose that practice this belive that they can do anything if they practice and do it right. They try to obtain inner peace and resort to "spells and charms" (what they call "nothing more than a prayer") to try to mold their spirit.\n\n2:Physical Alchemy\nThis is the steryotype alchemy. The old guy in the corner of the room surrounded by books and has a bunsen burner. But, this is not how it is. They belived that, if they obeyed the laws of the universe (Basics) that they could turn stuff into other things.\n\n3:Where they blend\nThey all belived in the same principles as "Equivalent Exchange (A real belief by them, FYI)" and "Knowledge is Power (The one with the most is the most powerful)." They also belived the same things, such as "Trying to see the world as God does."\n\nHope you got some info!\n-Hytegia

Alchemy is a complex subject with many different interconnected aspects. Many people still only think of the quest of the philosophers' stone to change base metals into gold. On this web site you will be able to explore the riches of alchemical texts, some of which are wonderful works of allegorical literature, delve into its amazing, beautiful and enigmatic symbolism, and ponder its underlying hermetic philosophy, which holds a picture of the interconnection of the Macrocosm and Microcosm

I'd like to encourage you to learn chemisrty instead. The alchemists tried and tried to make lead into gold and similar things. Now we know that it cannot be done. They wasted their time. Don't waste yours. Learn and make something of yourself.

Yep, all you have to do is to make sure that the atoms shown in the left hand part of the equation appear on the left hand side.  Nothing is created or lost, you just make new compounds.  Dead easy, if only languages were so easy!!!

Alchemy is crude early Chemistry combined with spirtuallity.  And no it doesnt exsist, but some do practice it still.

Corundum is a geologically formed mineral and can not be synthesized.  You can synthesize the Al2O3 that it is made from.  You can treat Al powder with O2 and an electric discharge or heat Al(OH)3 with high heat.

The only way to turn metals into gold is to change the number of neutrons and protons (most importantly protons) in the nucleus.  That is THE only way.  Alchemy only leads to dead ends.  Don't be fooled by things that look golden.
