Sometimes I think the ill is more important even. [ Even if Amestris was covering up all their ills for the sake of unity and calmness in the people. It made him feel sick sometimes.

Shaking the memories out of his mind, he scrunches his mouth in thought over the pollution levels. ] It doesn't feel like it should be so hard or needed to put off. Alchemists from home could probably separate the dangerous chemicals pretty easily if they had the right make up. Repurpose it, even.

[See that blank face, Ed? All of that just flew over her poor medieval fantasy head.]

Er, forgive me, but none of that made a lick of sense to me.

[hermetics]

[ ... oops. He gives an embarrassed laugh, scratching the back of his head. ]

Uh - where I'm from, we have a science that allows us to analyze the make up of the various things in the world, from the air we breath to the metals in the ground, and the objects we use all the time. After we've got a good sense of what we're working with, alchemy is used to sort of... break them apart. So if you gave an alchemist a list of the make up of the pollution, they could pull out the toxins, and clean up the air.

[bryces_pup]

[...still a bit over her head, but less so. There's a bit of a pause as she tries to process it.]

So, you could analyze my shirt and see what sort of fabrics it's made up of? And then you could tear out those fabrics individually with this alchemy?

[hermetics]

[ He thinks about it for a second; it's the most basic level, but it's enough of an understanding, so he nods. ]

Basically. And then I could make things out of the pieces of fabric that I pulled out from them. Repurposing them. The same could be done with the chemicals in the pollution.

[bryces_pup]

Wow. [Her instinct is "MAGIC!" but even that seems like a stretch from what it's capable of in her world.] Is there anything it can't take apart?

[hermetics]

Mmm... [ It's obvious he's looking through the list of limitations in his head. ] I guess theoretically you can't take apart base chemicals. For example with water, while I could pull out the oxygen and the hydrogen atoms, I can't break down the atoms themselves. Nor can you use alchemy to create or bring back human life.

[bryces_pup]

Atoms...? [This is going to be one of Those Conversations isn't it] But that seems like a good limitation to have. No one should have access to that kind of power.
