## Flavor

A catalyst without a known recipe, synthesized rarely as a byproduct when performing alchemy. Many alchemists conducted experiments with this catalyst, but were not able to find any substances known in this world that reacted to it. The alchemist Freharau, waiting for a substance that reacts to this catalyst to be discovered, says alchemy is about transformation and fluidity of nature. Thus, this mysterious catalyst which does not have a set recipe, represents the essence of alchemy.
