Answer

An alchemist is a person who practices alchemy.

Alchemist may also refer to:

* Alchemist (band), an Australian progressive metal band

* Fullmetal Alchemist, the English title of a series of manga and anime created by Hiromu Arakawa

* The Neutronium Alchemist, the second book in The Night's Dawn Trilogy by Peter F. Hamilton

Alchemy is an early protoscientific and philosophical discipline combining the elements of chemistry, Metallurgy, physics, medicine, Astrology, semiotics, mysticism, and art. Alchemy has been practiced in ancient Egypt, India, and China, in Classical Greece and Rome, in the Islamic empire, and then in Europe up to the 19th century � in a complex network of schools and philosophical systems spanning at least 2500 years.

The alchemists did not follow what is now known as the scientific method, and much of the "knowledge" they produced was later found to be banal, limited, wrong, or just meaningless. Today, the discipline is of interest mainly to historians of science and philosophy, and for its mystic, esoteric, and artistic aspects. Nevertheless, alchemy was one of the main precursors of modern sciences, and we owe to the ancient alchemists the discovery of many substances and processes that are the mainstay of modern chemical and metallurgical industries.

An alchemist could also be some one who has tried to make gold with metal leftovers from st scholastica's.

In midevil times an alchemest is someone they belived could turn things into gold. Every culture has their own definition for an alchemest.
