Alchemy of Acidity
Within every potion and elixir, the interplay of acids and bases is at work. Acids burn and corrode, while bases soothe and neutralize. Whether it’s the tart bite of lemon juice or the gentle fizz of baking soda reacting in a brew, these substances create dynamic changes essential to the alchemist’s art. Mastering this interplay is like learning the secret language of transformation.
