    If you feel more comfortable and familiar with alchemy, then yes, you can use it.
  • Question
    If I need to trap a homunculus, should I use a large or small transmutation circle for the cage?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    If you want to trap a normal-sized homunculus, the transmutation circle should be on the small side.
  • Question
    Is there a way to do alchemy, not the way Edward does?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    Newton tried, and failed. Most consider it to be a pseudoscience, like phrenology. Learning Chemistry is the closest thing we have to it.
  • Question
    Can I draw a perfect transmutation circle without using a ruler or other tools like the manga/anime characters do?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    Probably not, unless you have an extremely steady hand and practice doing it over many, many hours.
  • Question
    Can you actually use alchemy the way Edward does?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    No. It's physically impossible to clap your hands and make a statue, and it's equally impossible to separate a transmutation circle and fix a broken pot.
  • Question
    Can I do a human transmutation like in Fullmetal Alchemist?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    Fullmetal Alchemist is action fiction, not a treatise of occultism. Even if you do believe in alchemy, which is a matter of spiritual beliefs, you will not transmute things the way manga characters do.
  • Question
    How do you use the transmutation circle
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    In cosplay or decoration. This circle comes from a work of fiction, not from a real guide on alchemy.
  • Question
    Is there actually a use for this?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    It serves as decoration for cosplay and looks cool if you hang it on a wall.
  • Question
    What does a transmutation circle do?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    This transmutation circle, as much as it might be inspired by actual historical occultism sources, is fiction. It does nothing.
  • Question
    Could my transmutation circle actually do alchemy?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    The idea of alchemy is pseudoscience, so unfortunately, you can't clap your hands together to turn that coin into gold.
