Joint Alchemy, from the name alone, the concept sounded simple.
It is the cooperation of several alchemists, combining their Cognis together in order to perform alchemy that normally required a higher rank, but the process itself was not simple at all.
Alchemy had changed many times since the discovery of Cognis and the rise of Britannia.
In the earliest era, alchemy required preparation that felt almost ritualistic. Multiple alchemists would first draw a complete alchemy circle on a clean surface—sometimes on the ground, sometimes on large scrolls made for that purpose.
The circle had to be precise.
Every line, every symbol.
Even the smallest mistake could cause the alchemy to fail or collapse midway. Since it was been drawn by hand, human error was a big factor that could cause the alchemy to fail.
Once the circle was complete, the materials needed for the transformation were placed carefully inside the formation.
Then the alchemists would activate the process.
