Alchemy is a magical science. The best known goals of the alchemists were the transmutation of common metals into Gold or Silver, the creation of a "panacea", a remedy that would cure all diseases and prolong life indefinitely and the discovery of a universal solvent. [1] The Philosopher's Stone, a substance created by Nicolas Flamel that can turn ordinary metal into pure gold, and produce the immortality-granting Elixir of Life beat two of these goals.[2] Alchemy is covered on Advanced Potion-Making and is part of the sixth-year Potions curriculum at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. [1] A less well known branch of Alchemy is Spagyric. [1]
