Edward Elric, Fullmetal Alchemist

[Eddie Munson]

Alchemy is the science of understanding, deconstructing, and reconstructing matter. However, it is not an all-powerful art. It is impossible to create something out of nothing. If one wishes to obtain something, something of equal value must be paid. This equivalent exchange is the basis of alchemy. Alchemists have a taboo, and it is Human Transmutation. It is that which no one must commit.
