Domain of Transmutation

The Domain of Transmutation is the manipulation of inorganic material, such as metal. This Domain is highly sought

after by many people, especially the militaries of nations. Practitioners of this Domain, who are called Alchemists, are able to improve weapons and armor by modifying them. Alchemists can also cause damage to the enemy, as they're able to cause rust and can even temporarily turn metal into liquid by placing a rune on it or casting a spell onto the object. Like every Domain, the rule of touch applies to the Domain of Transmutation, so an Alchemist would have to touch an item to be able to manipulate it. The Domain of Transmutation isn't easy to learn. One of the most difficult Domains to learn and master, the Domain of Transmutation heavily taxes the Alchemist if they use too much of their energy on their spells.

The overuse effects of the Domain of Transmutation are relatively severe. The Alchemist's body feels extremely stressed and excessively tired after they use too much energy. The intense stress and tiredness often cause the Alchemist to pass out or die if they used too much energy.

Most Alchemists seek a life of wealth and pleasure and perform very well as merchants or economists. However, many also join a military and put their magic to use. Often, armies that march alongside with Alchemists perform very well on the battlefield due to their superior equipment. The Alchemist could also destroy the enemy's equipment too, thus making it unusable and useless.

## Ara, the Goddess of the Domain of Transmutation

One of the Seven Seraphs that represents the Domain of Transmutation is the Goddess Ara, or Arcan, the name she's referred to as by the Krurx. She's the purest manifestation of the Domain of Transmutation, and many of her worshippers consider her as utter perfection when it comes to Transmutation. Ara can be best described as pragmatic and reserved, she often didn't negotiate with the races of Laitheran. However, one race did catch her eye, the Krurx. After the Conquests of the Almighty, she taught them many things about Transmutation and encouraged their pursuit of knowledge. The knowledge she gave to them eventually spread around Laitheran, and the Domain of Transmutation became highly sought after, and the Krurx became very rich as a result.
