Second Alchemy Class Basic 1-5

Aurora sat down in a desk that was in the back row. She giggled a little seeing the look on keith's face. She looked around studying every detail of the room.

Adelyn wasn't one to participate in class much. She never had been. Usually she was making mischief, though that depended on either how much she respected the professor or how seriously she took the professor. She wouldn't dare act up in Alchemy, not with Headmaster Majere as the professor. So she sat now at her desk, gazing expressionlessly at the chair back in front of her. At the Headmaster's question, she remained silent with no intention of answering. Adelyn held back her jeers for the foolish first years, the Ravenclaw one singing and the Gryffindor one bounding in late. But now unable to contain her attitude, she rolled her eyes at the couple of students who answered the Headmaster. Goody Two Shoes. Always trying to give the professors the most dolled up response they can put together. Adelyn wiped her face clean of emotion again before speaking up. Looking at Wake, she shook her head. "No, that would be branch of alchemy devoted to creating panacea, an elixer of life." She paused, biting back a smirk and drawing her blank eyes from Wake to meet those of Majere's. "Spiritual alchemy is simply the practice of achieving wisdom by discovering one's true purpose in life. It's seeking spiritual direction by connecting with the divine & listening to the guidance of the soul," she purred slowly, nonchalantly.

"Excuse me, but I believe you are referring to a Muggle misconception, initiated in the later 1600s as Alchemists, as a self-defense measure, attempted to display their trade as a connection to search for one's true identity. Now, your definition seems to initiate from a more recent Esoteric movement which derives its influences from medieval sources. Spiritual Alchemy, as defined in a more, well, magical sense, is the utilization of 'souls' in a sense, in the creation of physical, material objects."

James' alchemic arm seemed to twitch as the mention of "souls" rang especially true in his case.
