Where's the Quintessence go?
Afaik, Quintessence in medieval alchemy was a very pure alcohol (although they believed that by distilling it many times, they were in fact isolating this pure, heavenly element), so not something that can be put in the periodic table.
"trust me my liege, this is a holy liquid, i have no ulterior motives in producing it"
Aren't all elements after Uranium radioactive? I expected a larger "fire" area.
According to a comment on explainxkcd it's half-life under 1 day for "fire".
No quintessence?
That's the white part.
Do you remember ...
