#transmutation circle

My main computer is finally fixed… kinda. It still have some problems.

I might have to find the way to use the laptop on certain projects and the computer for other ones.

Virtual Riot - So Baked

2021 again. Features The Null's glyph from the Room franchise by Fireproof Games. The bottom-right glyph is inspired by Antichamber's "Destruction" badge in Steam.

The texts are taken from The Room Two's chapter 4:

We began at home, staring at the stars. So much to discover, so little time.

Countless ships bore us triumphant to a hidden temple. It was at home you proved a shallow friend.

Under these alien stars I courted only death. I am saved by science. My muse.

Bear Chimera Transmutation Circle for Sam

I wanted to go into more detail on how I created the transmutation circle for Sam!

Here is the transmutation circle! I am thinking of cleaning it up but this is the first one I drew!

Below the cut is my explanation of how I created this circle! (It's pretty long so I suggest reading it if you have the energy too, or just skim through it! There are helpful links and explanations on the process I did to create one!)

Before I get into my explanation, the link below is the basics of alchemy in the show!

Alchemy Fullmetal Alchemist

First off, I started researching what goes into a transmutation circle. I stumbled across a couple of sites but one helped me in particular! Click here vvv

Analysis on Riza's Tattoo

This helped me understand what goes into the research behind transmutation circles. It uses science, art, and belief! Thankfully, science is a strong suit for me so I quickly grasped onto the idea of alchemy - So I am here to explain it!

Next, I stumbled across alchemy symbols! This helped me understand how a transmutation circle worked. Using different symbols within the circle can lead to different things happening. For example, the flame transmutation circle on Roy's glove uses the alchemy symbol for the element fire. I used Wikipedia for different symbols and what each of them mean!

Alchemical Symbols

From here, I was able to gather different symbols for the transmutation circle above! Each symbol that goes into a transmutation circle will do different things. Now I am not an expert on how to create a transmutation circle, but looking at the symbols, the transmutation circle explains what it should hypothetical do.

If I was doing basic alchemy, I would use a lot of the elemental symbols in my circle. However, a chimera is a branch of bio-alchemy which means I will be looking more at the processes instead of using elements such as copper (unless those elements had some sort of connection to them that would make sense of bonding two souls together and creating one entity)

Using the Alchemical process symbols, I was able to see which one would make the most sense in a chimera transmutation. In this case, I used the symbol for "cancer" which is a zodiac sign!

Cancer is the symbol to show the alchemical process of "Solution". A solution is a type of mixture that has the appearance of one substance, yet is a combination of multiple. For example, a mechanical mixture would have multiple substances that you are able to see with your bare eye (ex. A salad). However, a solution would be something that you would believe to be one pure substance, yet actually has multiple substances within it (Such as Salt water).

The cancer symbol can be seen in the transmutation circle (Highlighted in green):

I used this symbol since Sam was supposed to merge with a bear and create one entity. So, they would be similar to a "solution" .Since there are two entities (Sam and the bear) and they would become as one.

Next, I used the symbol for Mercury (or spirit). This means fusibility. Fusibility is how likely two or more substances are able to connect and become one.

The symbol for Mercury can be seen here (Highlighted in Pink):

This symbol was used because Sam was going to fuse with a bear. These two souls would fuse to create one which would be used in chimera transmutations.

And then! with a bit of artistic liberty plus the knowledge of a basic transmutation circle, I was able to create this!

I am no expert nor don't know if this would even make sense with the fma universe, yet this is what I came up with! One thing I did notice about other transmutation circles, is that every symbol was connected somehow. I am thinking of doing that and create a more polished one, yet these are the symbols I would use and even the structure itself!
