The Alchemist, also called the "2 of Blues", is the second card in the Suit of Blues in a deck of Atlicana Cards. The cards are mostly used to play Atlicana, but they are sometimes used in fortune telling. Being the suit of blue, the Alchemist represents the highest progression from The Apprentice to The Smith and beyond.

Features

"The Alchemist card is filled with traditional Galwyndorian symbolism surrounding death. First, there is the prominent alchemical chart in the center to signify the great mysteries unlocked upon mastery of alchemy. Above the word "Atlicana" are four alchemical symbols to signify the four great elements of earth, air, fire, and water. Finally, the top key symbol is the crescent moon, which represents growing illumination through gaining of wisdom, the overall theme of the card." - from The Usirad Grimoire

-<blockquote>"The Alchemist card is filled with traditional Galwyndorian symbolism surrounding death. First, there is the prominent skull beneath a road leading to the gates of the Underworld. On either side of the skull are two coffins with skeletons inside. Beyond the gateway lies [[Vuldarith]], the mountain of the dead, situated beneath a raven in flight and the crescent moon. Above the word ''Atlicana'' are four snakes, which according to legend are the creatures said to usher one from the realm of the living to that of the dead. The card is number 11, which represents the 11 stars of the constellation [[Gagnus]], who is said to be the first person in the world to die. In the original version of this card, at the bottom were two [[Traevian Knots]], which represented the cycle of life and death eternal. Finally, the top key symbol is the coffin, which represents the overall theme of the card." - from [[The Usirad Grimoire]]</blockquote>
