The language of alchemy is uniqu in many ways. First of all, it isn't spoken, only written. Second, it is written one symbol on top of another it a sort of design fashion. Fourth, it uses shapes instead of letters and words. Finally, the language is used as a system of guidance for the power emitted by the Void. Symbols can be divided into different categories: bases, breakers, unions, and reformers.
Bases- start of design, all other shapes go in this.
circle- Means that you wish to initiate basic Alchemy.
hexagon-Means that moderate alchemy is wished.
octagon- Means advance aclchemy is wished.
Primary Elements- Symbols for primary elements. these are combined and manipulated in Alchemy.
Triangle- Fire
Square-Earth
Cresent- Water
Spiral- Air
Eye(with shaded pupil)- Light
Eye(no pupil)- Dark
Star (no lines inside)-Aethos
There are also three levels of universal shapes that when applied can possess the power of any of these elements, used for general Alchemy.
Pentagram-used for low level universal alchemy.
Hexagram-used for medium level universal alchemy
octagram- used for advance level universal alchemy
The rest of Alchemy is chant. There are key phrases that command the elements:
Shift- Moves the Element where the user directs
Fuse- Combines Elements
Rise- Combines Element with Light
Fall- Combines Element with Darkness
Morph- Changes shape of Element
Manipulate- Highly advance phrase that allows command of the Element by will rather than chant
