Alchemist

Introduction
A mystical medium that can transform base metals into gold or silver, cure all ills and grant the bearer life eternal - Such is the Philosopher's Stone, the fevered dream of alchemists throughout time. To attain their prize, practicioners conducted all manner of queer and unnatural experiments, and accordingly were long abhorred as madman - their art scorned as lunacy.

The profession eventually gained credibility through its integration into traditional medicin by Phrondale's Phrontistery. Thereafter alchemists flocked to Ul'dah, a place where they might do what research they please without the fear of persecution, and eventually founded the Alchemists' Guild to share their findings.
