The Alchemist

The difference between Alchemy and "magic" is the fact that Alchemy has a fundamental law. And that Alchemy can be explained by pure and utter science. But that's not the point. The point is that Alchemy has a base to go by while magic is a whim. You can't predict magic, you can't create magic, you can't even explain magic. You can explain Alchemy though and that's the difference. Magic is on a whim and unexplainable. Alchemy is based, rooted, and explainable. Alchemy clearly sounds like the better option, since people like the understandable.

But yet... everyone chooses magic over Alchemy.

Whim over base.

Unexplainable over explainable!

It doesn't make sense! Yet it's what happens...

I guess I have to find out why.
