Alchemy Is Magic: Difference between revisions

* In ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'', Willow is a modern day witch (she prefers the term "Wicca") who can use actual magic, and a lot of the concoctions she creates seem to follow the basic theme of alchemy. In the novel ''[[Original Sins]]'' she does indeed refer to her craft as alchemy while attempting a spell that can turn objects to gold (seeing as gold is the [[Weaksauce Weakness]] of the [[Big Bad]] of the story). Interestingly, Willow states that using any form of alchemy for monetary gain is forbidden, and the gold transmutation spell is guaranteed to fail if done for that reason, even on a subconscious level.
