+Mages can perform **Alchemy** in any province with a [[laboratory]]. This converts two [[gems]] of any one type into an astral pearl, or two astral pearls into a gem of any type, and it happens instantly. This can be done to produce gems of needed types in a pinch. Click on the desired Gem icon ({{:misc:magic:firegem.png?nolink}}{{:misc:magic:airgem.png?nolink}}{{:misc:magic:watergem.png?nolink}}{{:misc:magic:earthgem.png?nolink}}{{:misc:magic:deathgem.png?nolink}}{{:misc:magic:naturegem.png?nolink}}), or the pearl ({{:misc:magic:astralpearl.png?nolink}}) next to the gem type you intend to spend, to make the exchange.
+Unlike almost every other action that you can take, Alchemy **cannot** be undone in-menu. To undo Alchemy, you must press "**x**" to negate all of your alchemical exchanges made before you last closed out of the menu. The alternative is to **quit without saving** in the Options menu; this will, of course, undo other actions you made in that turn before you last **saved and quit**.
+**Example Exchanges:**
+  * {{gems>2F}} -> {{gems>1S}} (Spend it wisely!)
+  * {{gems>3F}} -> {{gems>1F1S}} (There are no half-Pearls or half-Gems.)
+  * {{gems>4F}} -> {{gems>2F1S}} -> {{gems>2S}} -> {{gems>1N}} (Not super-efficient, but an option.)
+  * {{gems>4F}} -> {{gems>2F1S}} -> {{gems>2S}} -> {{gems>1F}} (NO REFUNDS!)
