Master Alchemist

A Master Alchemist is the pinnacle of the craft of Alchemy. While they are widely considered the counterparts to Archmages, Swordmasters, or other titles attained through sheer achievement, the truth is not so simple. The original four Founding Masters created the idea of being a Master Alchemist from scratch, and through their combined brilliance managed to install that idea into reality itself. This grants those who pass the Master Trials with significantly enhanced abilities, as they tap into the concept of Mastery by means of their Alchemical Mantle.

The Alchemical Mantle
An Alchemical Mantle is the hallmark of a Master Alchemist. It is a manifestation of their chosen title, and their means of accessing and shaping the power granted to Master Alchemists. Mantles are not physical objects, and the way they manifest in the physical world varies wildly.

In order to construct a Mantle, aspiring Master Alchemists must acquire a form of Mastercrafted Grist from each living Master Alchemist. Each Master Alchemist is bound to present the aspirants with a trial to judge if they are worthy of receiving such a gift, and bound to judge it fairly.

A Master Alchemist's Mantle is imbued with a title chosen by the Master during the forging process. The powers that the Mantle grants are based on the chosen title. Common among all mantles is that they grant Supremacy over all others. The bearer of the title is conceptually locked in as the multiversal best alchemist in their chosen domain, meaning that it is physically impossible to surpass a Master Alchemist in their own field. This Supremacy only prevents superior alchemists from existing, and does not cover other methods of creation. However, Mantles can be expanded to cover additional methods, should one take the time to truly master them as well.
