I've played this game on and off for years, but I never gave alchemy a good look.
I've read the wiki page, which does give some information, but I seem to be missing one crucial point.
The whole thing seems to be about removing some properties, in order to have matching ones to get good effects.
But I have a hard time understanding, how do I figure out which materials give which properties?
If someone could write down a couple of examples, it would really help me out!
