=== Using an Alchemy Stone ===

If you possess an alchemy stone with available charges in it, you can perform the following actions:

*''Transmute:'' You can use a charged alchemy stone to produce any single substance you desire, at a value of 25 gp per charge expended. Only mundane materials can be created, and only in a naturally occurring composition. For example, you can use an alchemy stone to create carbon in charcoal powder, graphite, or diamond form, but you cannot use it to create a form of carbon that doesn't exist. Transmuting and with an alchemy stone requires your full attention, and you can combine it with other [[SRD:Craft Skill|Craft]] skills to produce material in certain shapes. It is possible to create precious metals, stone, water, alchemical agents, acids, polymers, or any other specific element or molecular composition provided you have knowledge of the material in question. With sufficiently profound understanding of chemistry, engineering and science (at least a DC 20 in the prerequisite [[SRD:Knowledge Skill|Knowledge]] and [[SRD:Craft Skill|Craft]] skills), it is possible to transmute multiple materials and combine them to create even intricate objects like a sword, a clock or a circuit board. The amount of charges that an alchemy stone can transmute per hour is 5 (lesser), 15 (regular) and 60 (grand).
*''Substitute Component:'' You can use an alchemy stone as a substitute for an expensive material component required for crafting or casting a spell. Doing so requires 1 transmutation charge for every 25 gp of the material component's cost, but in case of spells this lengthens the casting time to a minimum of one [[SRD:Round|round]]. This may be compensated for by using the Rapid Spell metamagic.
*''Substitute Soul Force:'' You can use an alchemy stone as a substitute for an XP cost required for crafting or casting a spell. Doing so requires transmutation charges equal to the XP cost.

Prerequisites: [[SRD:Craft Wondrous Item|Craft Wondrous Item]], spells to be added, [[SRD:Craft Skill|Craft]] (alchemy) a number of ranks equal to the required [[SRD:Caster Level|caster level]].<br/>
Cost to Create: 500 gp + 40 EXP (lesser), 2,500 gp + 200 EXP (regular), 12,500 gp + 1,000 EXP (grand), 1, 5 and 25 days respectively.
