I never read the book, so as the King of all Cosmos always says, "We have no idea what you're talking about."

Also... I *know* I have seen that symbol before, and I think it refers to the Divinity of Mankind, but I can't recall specifically where.

Given that the Phantom took all of five minutes to figure out the veve on the floor, I'm sure you clever people can figure all the visual clues out.

It would make sense if it's the Divinity of Mankind. First off, there's a squared circle within the triangle, which bang-on as a symbol of the celebrants. Secondly, they have a triangle to represent their three different apexes: Experience, Intellect, and Intuition.

I'd also like to add that Isabella seems to have left us a clue (in case anyone else hasn't noticed). Note how on page 33, the alchemist fire is red. As well recall that the alchemist fire in the shop was colored red, as was the fire that burned the house.

Now, note on page 24, panel 5. The fire in our mystery lady's hand is without color.

Was that intentional Isabella?

You're close, but not quite there.

Let me put it like this... if you people call me on a mistake, I will tell you that I made it (it's hardly fair for you guys to try and track visual clues when I, on occasion, mess up big time).

The alchemical symbol for squaring the circle...?

What I'm wondering now is, what's the light blue alchemical mixture supposed to be? We've seen that one twice now, both in Marie's shop and in the other vial that got dropped.

Yes, that's all it is.

An unintentional "red" herring. The blue in Marie's lab was just for emphasis, the other vial that was dropped (which was green, btw

) was probably just a spare healing potion or something.
The color doesn't always mean its something important, it's sometimes just because I felt like adding some. Otherwise, it'd be way to easy for you guys!

Say goodbye to the nice alchemist, all, who is not a doppleganger, a jackalwere, Lord Balfour de Casteele, George Weathermay, or a nosferatu vampire.

You're definitely giving 'Petite' some personality, what with her "you reconquered the Burningness" and "Thhaaaaaaaaaaaat's because this food looks so good"

I love Santine. She's funny in a slightly ditzy way.

That isn't healing, is it? o_o It's injury transfer ... Or else there's something squirrelly about those particular wounds.

See, this is what happens when you screw around with the base classes. Before you know it, you can't get a level of cleric without some crazy flavored soul of dragon adept sauce and suddenly you're getting someone else's wounds.

And from there it's just chaos. CHAOS.

She's not injured, guys, that's just blood on her hands.

NeoTiamat · Post by **NeoTiamat** » Sun Apr 13, 2008 9:49 pm

*Snicker*

I'm still confused about the significance of the injury, but I am sure all will be revealed in time.

Page 49: Well, that was predictable.

Page 50:
If you want to know how those pages haven't managed to rot in Souragne's humidity, the answer is... alchemy.

Doesn't sound as impressive as magic, does it?

Depends...it has a certain Fullmetal Alchemist ring to it when you put it that way.
