Transformer of Challenges
Courageous Attributes

In moments of hardship, the Alchemist transforms suffering into wisdom, embodying resilience, adaptability, and the ability to turn challenges into opportunities.

What's in the Shadow?

When the shadow is engaged, the Alchemist may become too focused on transformation, losing sight of the present moment and the importance of acceptance.
