The whole FMA series is based off the idea that nothing last forever and death can be a beautiful thing. The whole Dragon or Snake eating itself is a great analogy for the search for immorality, the holy grail, the power of God, the fountain of youth, etc. In theory if you are one with all, you are one with God because God is everything (we see this is most religions especially Hinduism) you are using the power of the world to force energy into mass. This is a prerequisite to alchemy training. But they also claim one is all and all is one. They claim in the show it is the tectonic energy that is harvested through the earth which produces the energy needed. They cant ignore the conservation of mass but they can manipulate it without having to use any seals. Once opened you are granted the ability to do alchemy with no seal and by simply clapping your hands together which kind of looks like praying (Ed even mentions it in the last episode). We can further deduce this by looking at the people who opened the portal of truth. No human could go against God and cheat death. There is an irreversibility towards natural processes. The 2nd laws of thermodynamics basically states that energy needs to be consumed for anything to happen, it could never be an endless stream of energy, it needs a source. It is through the literal power of God that alchemist can manipulate objects but the objects can never change their chemical properties or add mass to them "for creating something from nothing is God's work" and impossible. This is where the series gets paranormal. The philosophers stone grants godlike ability but at a cost of a soul, bringing up the whole idea of how much is a soul really worth?įather and the seven deadly sins are powered by souls like batteries but humans have only 1 such battery. The way to go against this worldly law is by using a stone. My theory is the people of Amestres mix alchemist symbols with magic (prayer) to produce energy using holy power.Īssuming the fma world acts mostly as ours we know something cannot be made from nothing i.e the conservation of mass.
SILVER ALCHEMIST TATTOO HOW TO
These seals can only be activated by people who know how to use them (at least in the show). The Soloman seals are said to have magical properties such bringing wealth or repelling demons (there are like 50 different seals). The seals in fma are based on the King Solomon seals of Kabbalah as we see the Sephirotic tree of life in the show. It's seems to be pretty much a compilation of different alchemic elements. The Seal of Solomon is all that is unified in perfect balance the Spirit Wheel. Conversely, the upwards triangle divided by the base line of the downwards triangle is the alchemical symbol for air. The downwards facing triangle is divided along the center by the base line of the opposite triangle. By combining the alchemical symbols for fire (upwards triangle) and water (downwards triangle), the alchemical symbols for earth and air are also created.
The symbol is representative of the combination of opposites and transmutation. In alchemy, the combination of the fire and water symbols (up and down triangles) is known as the Seal of Solomon. The Seal of Solomon is another similar image.
SILVER ALCHEMIST TATTOO PLUS
It was believed that this symbol plus a man and a woman in the circle was all that was needed to create a philosopher's stone. Squaring the circle was another major part of Renaissance alchemic ideas. Some Renaissance alchemic images have circles with words in them. Going clockwise from that is what looks like either copper ore or female, a symbol I can't identify, one of the symbols for regulus, another symbol I can't identify, and sal-ammoniac. The one on the the bottom left on the outside looks like the symbol for iron ore or the symbol for male. The symbols in the circle are mostly alchemic symbols. Ouroboros symbols were sigils in alchemy dating back to Cleopatra, and they depict a serpent or dragon eating its own tail. Circles are a relatively major thing in alchemy.
