Back Oh people’s I am lion and welcome back to full metal Friday we’ve been talking about this for two weeks and finally we have the breakdown of the transmutation circle used by flame Alchemist Colonel Roy Mustang those dreams are coming out of nowhere how does he do them this is The first time you’ve seen the colonel fight his right clubs made of special material called ignition cloth when he snaps it makes us after that he uses alchemy to change the oxygen density in the air and bombs on command so as explained by Lieutenant Heyman’s breda in my favorite episode of 2003 Episode 13 full metal versus flame the cloth makes the spark and then alchemy is used to manipulate the air around the spark allowing Mustang to spread the fire at his will so let’s look at the matrix itself the symbols and the layout and see what makes this possible and it Looks simple enough a circle some lines some triangles and a salamander I managed to break it down into six simple steps for us to piece back together now I have used the absolute simplest explanations and terms that I possibly can so forgive me if I’ve oversimplified the complex alchemic concepts that go Into building something like this one is what every array begins with the circle the circle is the continuous flow of energy that you know what I don’t I don’t think I need to go over this or we’re all adults here right is the inner matrix notice how it overlaps the outer Circle this allows the alchemical reaction to happen aside the circle if the inner matrix is contained completely inside the outer circle then the reaction will also be contained as with this basic array used by Edward in Brotherhood episode 2 the first day this particular matrix is made up of a Butterfly diamond pattern symbolically represents the souls journey legacy and immortality of the Spirit in practical applications it’s additional aspects of rebirth and translation are crucial to controlling fire something that represents the same for step three more detailed symbols are drawn on the wings of the butterfly the first symbol the inverted triangle with The line that looks like it’s cutting off the tip is the Aristotle and symbol for Earth interesting side fact Aristotle what was the first to assign symbols to the five elements earth air fire water and ether but back to the array what is berthed doing in here when Mustang alchemy isn’t even remotely Earth-based we’re working with air and fire right well earth is the Sybilla tater of all life force it represents certainty and stability an application earth is not only understandable necessary for a stable and controlled reaction that Mustang can throttle and a step 4 it looks like the symbols on the Bottom are a mirror image of the ones on top this is because are the mirror image symbol account for Earth’s equal and opposite element of air air is what Mustang primarily uses this circle to pan to view so its use in the matrix is a given air is freedom motion and Balance and is necessary to achieve leaves in a transmission 5 we add the elemental symbol of fire fire is energy power action and passion it’s appropriate that this should be front and center with all the other elements that make it ossible surrounding and revolving around it step 6 further Giving Mustang command over flame are the finishing touches at the top is the archaic symbol of fire and below the butterfly diamond is a salamander interesting side back the legend of the salamander originated in the early 16th century salamanders being amphibians for for cool damp places and would often Hide in fire wood piles when people would bring in the woods vote in the fire the salamanders would quickly jump out of the fireplace sparking the myth that they were born of the fire itself fun into it so there you have it people’s a complete guide to flame Alchemy in six simple steps so people’s thank you for watching I will see you next week on full metal Friday or tomorrow on the Saturday showdown Video Information
