Alchemia
Alchemia (alchemy) is the most powerful science, bringing the power of wealth by means of transmutation as well as immortality. Alchemy is an very modern science advancing daily toward perfection, and most of the groundbreaking research in the field occurs here in Dracōville, albeit in secret at the Alchemical Society rather than at Dracōville University.
Misosophist's Pebble
One of the goals of every alchemist is the transmutation of metals such as lead into gold, using a substance known as the philosopher's stone. Thus far, we have been unable to produce the philosopher's stone; however, Dracōville has gotten closer than anyone else with the misosophist's pebble.
The misosophist's pebble cannot transmute lead into gold, but it can change gold or other metals into lead. At the very least, this demonstrates the soundness of the principle behind the philosopher's stone. As far as the composition or creation of this pebble, the Alchemical Society of Dracōville will not say. Only a competent, nay extraordinary, alchemist is worthy of the misosophist's pebble, let alone the true philosopher's stone.
The misosophist's pebble was first created in the secret laboratories of the Dracōville Alchemical Society on January 10, 2014.
