the alchemic laboratory

I have a magnetic attraction for utopian projects.
Maybe it is God, maybe it is an indecent luck, maybe it's me, but it all turns out to be an outrageously successful reality.
...And maybe this is also why we call the bitter almonds an alchemic laboratory. This is a place where we turn mundane elements into precious ones. How do we know that for sure ? Because we enjoy every single time the effects of their spell on people.
