Alchemy employs 12 processes to generate the Philosopher's Stone. These are grouped together into 4 groups of 3, each of which constitutes a different phase of the Great Work.
Begin with Essence.
The first phase is Decomposition of mortal souls:
- First was Calcination, ruled by Meru, through which souls are tested by the fire of living.
- Second is Digestion, ruled by Letheon, through which all souls must pass to be reborn.
- Third will be Putrefaction, ruled by Netheos, in which the incomplete must linger before changing and passing onward.
The second phase is Modification of elemental substances:
- Fourth was Congelation, ruled by Wasirru, conjoining what is seperate.
- Fifth is Fixation, ruled by Xara, ordering what is varied.
- Sixth will be Ceration, ruled by Elysion, enobling what is dull.
The third phase is Separation of powers and authorities:
- Seventh was Distillation, ruled by Bi'allah, lonely collector of fragments.
- Eighth is Sublimation, ruled by Yu-Shan, shining pinnacle of existence.
- Ninth will be Filtration, ruled by Malfeas, brackish nadir of reality.
The fourth phase is Union between opposities:
- Tenth was Solution, ruled by Tesearah, where difference is bent to concensus.
- Eleventh is Multiplication, ruled by the Wyld, where chaos is the whole of the law.
- Twelfth will be Projection, ruled by Atomnos, where within is without.
Here the Great Work will reach fruition.
