"Exploring the Possibility of Reversing Necromancy Based on the Similarities and Differences Between the Conversion Mechanisms of Alchemy and Necromancy" Author: Anonymous Abstract: At its core, alchemy explores the laws of material and energy transformation, enabling material conversion under specific conditions. The academic community has long regarded necromancy as a specialized discipline distinct from alchemy. However, recent re-examinations of ancient magical texts and ruins suggest that the two may not be entirely independent. In fact, necromancy shares many commonalities with the theories of human alchemy documented in literature from a millennium ago. This paper examines a case study of a living subject converted into a Graveborn through necromancy, conducting a preliminary investigation into the similarities and differences between the conversion mechanisms of necromancy and alchemy. The results indicate that the principles governing alchemy and necromancy are highly similar, differing primarily in targets and prerequisite conditions. Given that certain alchemical reactions have been proven capable of restoring their products to their original forms, this paper proposes that by altering specific steps of the process, necromancy could potentially be reversed, thereby eliminating its effects on the subject. Main Text: ... August 3, Rain The paper was accepted quickly. That was to be expected, considering this is currently the only known case of a living person being converted into a Graveborn. Becoming a Graveborn hasn't been as difficult to adapt to as I expected. In fact, wielding necromantic power allows me to accomplish much more. Aside from some changes to my internal organ functions, I remain virtually the same as I was in life. If only I could completely alter my appearance and physique, I wouldn't have to skulk around Oakenfell. In theory, necromantic power is potent enough to cause significant physiological changes, and completely altering one's appearance is not impossible. So why didn't the magic circle trigger any such changes? Perhaps I can use this question as a starting point to research how to reverse necromancy. October 15, Sunny The paper has been published, and Union Magazine even put the title on the cover. It's just a pity that I couldn't publish it under my real name, which halves the joy... Oh well, I didn't do this research just to publish papers anyway. A letter from the Archaeological Society? It turns out the Society still occasionally receives letters and money from my family. I suppose it's time I wrote back. It's normal for me not to visit, given I'm out doing research all year round. The real trouble is my lack of published papers lately. The elders in my family love buying up all the magazines that feature my articles. Over time, they'll inevitably get suspicious... I'll just say I'm conducting classified research—they don't understand these things anyway. Who knows, maybe those letters will stop coming in a few years... October 22, Cloudy "Research for limited circulation only"? Sure enough, the Society still chooses to restrict this kind of research. To corroborate the commonalities between alchemy and necromancy, I cited literature on human alchemy and provided a theoretical experimental model. Now that the paper has been pulled from public circulation, it's highly likely that someone used the model to conduct illicit experiments—and they most likely failed. There are always those who lack self-restraint, using academic research as an excuse to satisfy their selfish desires while disregarding ethics and consequences. Such studies aren't entirely meaningless, but research built on massive harm inevitably lacks long-term value and can even hinder the progress of conventional research. It's also difficult to completely eradicate such incidents. Humanity's damned curiosity will always try to pry open every black box, and as for whether there's treasure or a demon inside, who can say for sure? Then again, I have no right to say such things. Reason helped me hold back my curiosity, but I must admit, when the black box was opened, I was indeed looking forward to the results. It seems I am nothing more than a hypocrite. ... Valeri said this is normal, a common flaw among researchers. That boy occasionally says astonishing things, showing a maturity far beyond his years. October 24, Overcast It's a bit bare here, but it will suffice as a research lab. It's quite convenient that Graveborn don't need to sleep or eat, but why do I still feel so exhausted? Back inside the Empire, I thought it was the influence of the Divine Light, but now that I've moved into Graveborn territory, why's it still happening? I can't be a special case... Wait, maybe I really am a special case! I was converted directly from a living state into a Graveborn, which is fundamentally different from the usual conversion process of the dead. That said, I shouldn't apply conventional thinking. If I can ascertain the essence of the conversion, perhaps I can undergo a secondary conversion through another magic circle to restore my original form. I'll try it right now! November 7, Overcast Failure number ten. I was prepared for difficulties with the experiment, but I didn't expect to have nothing to show by this point. Moreover, I didn't expect that after so many years of research, I still haven't gotten used to this sense of frustration. As a scholar, this feels like somewhat of a failure. My mentor once said that if you fail multiple times, you need to review and summarize the commonalities of those failures, then re-examine your current experimental methods and conditions. Let me check my previous records... What on earth are you writing down?! This was my own oversight. I was so immersed in my necromancy research that I completely forgot to check my enchanted notebook. Stop! Stop recording! Not just my words, but even my mental activities are being recorded?! Research suspended! I need to adj— November 14 Learning from my previous mistake, I've restricted the enchanted notebook's permissions. At the very least, it shouldn't record my mental activities. There are some thoughts that even I don't want to see again, so let them remain buried in the depths of my mind. A diary is a fine medium in itself, capable of promptly recording one's current mood and thoughts. When reviewing it, perhaps new research topics can be discovered. My research on necromancy has come to a temporary halt. Obsessing over a single topic can easily narrow one's vision. Since I've just resolved the issue with the enchanted notebook's scope of recording, I might as well conduct further research on enchantments, such as creating a means of transportation to facilitate expeditions to ruins...
