I’ve been thinking about how alchemy could be done better, and I had a thought. That thought is that you can add one or two extra crystals to an alchemy skill to give it different attributes.
Water: single target, more damage
Fire: multi-target, less damage
Wind: Longer range, less damage
Earth: shorter range, more damage.
Eg: add fire to wind blast, and it now pushes several targets back, just not as much.
Add earth to heat buster and it has even shorter range, but deals more damage.
Also, now that the heat buster is fire and earth type alchemy, you don’t get penalised for using an earth cylinder with earth heat buster.
Just a thought. Still needs to get fleshed out more.

Their hatred for the skillset shines bright, and I think it's quite clear that no amount of good ideas will convince them to bring back true alchemy, I'm sorry to say. It will forever be a footnote on mabi, a devolved wannabe magic with 2 skills that do damage, and a dozen which do nothing at all.
Eg: You could discharge all five charges of flame burst at once but deal less damage, or you could deal more damage but have a cool down.
A dark earth water shock would only shock one enemy at close distance, and only last a short time, but it would hit very fast, dealing lots of damage, and have a longer cooldown.
A light wind water summon golem would be a little weak, but would last a long time, could go far away from the player, and would focus on one enemy at a time (never using windmill or stomp.)
An earth fire golem would stay in one place and just spam windmill/stomp.
Skills would need to be reworked a bit, but that needs to happen anyway, so...
Yep, they want Mabinogi to be all about power and nothing else. Nevermind patience, nevermind cleverness just be bigger. This is why there is so much talk about upgrades, enchants, and reforges. Build those stats; nothing else matters. At the lowest levels of play there still is a use for patience and cleverness, maybe that's why Mabinogi is more fun as a weak character; who knows.
