Alchemy (the practice)
Alchemy is the practice of combining magic and science in a method much like chemistry. It was at its peek throughout the 16th century. Famous alchemist, such as Nicholas Flamel, were reported to have been able to turn less valuable metals, such as lead, into silver and gold. They also claimed to create potions or philosopher's stones to make themselves immortal.
