'''''Mana Khemia: Alchemists Of Al-Revis''''' is a Fantasy RPG video game, a spinoff of Gust's [[Atelier Series]] of games based on the concept of alchemy. In this case, the focus is on Al-Revis, an [[Wizarding School|academy for alchemists.]] Probably inspired by the popularity of [[Harry Potter]], though it doesn't feature any obvious [[Captain Ersatz|captain ersatzes.]]
 
The main character is one Vayne Aurelius, a [[White-Haired Pretty Boy]] with a [[Mysterious Past]] that he himself is unaware of, since he grew up without company except for his [[Familiar|Mana]], Sulpher, a talking black cat. Vayne is found by one of Al-Revis' professors and is invited to join the school. The game follows his attempts to fit in it (complicated by the fact that his timidness and desire to help others make him a [[Extreme Doormat|doormat]]) and the slow discovery of his personal past.

The direct [[Sequel]], set about 15 years after the end of the game, goes by the name of [[Mana-Khemia 2: Fall of Alchemy]].

=== Tropes featured in this game (Note- Please post any character-specific tropes on the characters page!) ===
* [[Adults Are Useless]]/[[Competence Zone]]: The faculty at Al-revis are good at teaching, but not very good helping the students with their problems.
** Amusingly subverted in one scene where an old codger who hasn't made any sense up until now proceeds to humiliate [[Quirky Miniboss Squad|Tony]] with a cane when he was trying to cheat in the school trivia contest.
Line 198 ⟶ 197:
* [[Lethal Chef]]: In the first [[School Festival]], the students at the restaurant booth prefer the Principal's baking over the Vice-Principal's.
** Speaking of lethal cooking, Pamela and Jess's potions technically count. Bonus for Jess actually having lunch that is...purple...and moving.
* [[Loads and Loads of Loading]]: Sadly, the PSP port on UMD is riddled with this, but according to [[RPG Fan]]RPGFan's [http://www.rpgfan.com/reviews/manakhemia-psn/index.html review] of the PSN paid download edition, the loading times were reduced, thus making that version tolerable.
* [[Load-Bearing Boss]]: Final castle falls when you defeat the last boss. Justified, in that it's a castle created by wishes.
* [[Luminescent Blush]]: the female characters are often shown having these.
