Line 9: {{examples\|Examples of the Philosopher's Stone in media:}} == [[Anime]] &and [[Manga]] == * ''[[Slayers]]'' featured a version of the Philosopher's Stone, though one with not much in common with the original myth. This Philosopher's Stone had the property of amplifying magic a hundredfold. It ended up being swallowed by the Dark Lord Shabranigdu and presumably destroyed. There is no know way to produce a new one, as the Stone was a unique legendary artifact. Lina claims it was a piece chipped off the staff that supports the world; it's true origin is revealed in the final light novel to be {{spoiler\|a piece broken off the black Demon Blood talisman}}. * In ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist (manga)\|Fullmetal Alchemist]]'', the Philosopher's Stone has the power to violate the law of equivalent exchange in alchemy, but it comes at a terrible price: [[Powered by a Forsaken Child\|the stone is composed of human souls]]. It is even worse in the [[Fullmetal Alchemist (anime)\|2003 anime adaptation]], where thousands of souls are required to create a single stone. Line 25: == [[Literature]] == * Appears, naturally enough, in [[Harry Potter and ~~The~~the Philosopher's Stone (novel)\|''Harry Potter And The <s>Sorcerer's</s> '''Philosopher's''' Stone'']], displaying its traditional powers of turning lead to gold and creating the elixir of life. {{spoiler\|There is also a nod to its origins in that the Mirror of Erised is used to protect it by ensuring that only someone who wanted to ''find'' the stone but not ''use'' it is able to retrieve it.}} * Used In ''[[The Alchemist]]''. After all, it's the title character's Personal Legend.
