Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood still stands as one of the best and most popular anime series of all time, as its lofty rank on MyAnimeList.com would suggest. Aside from excellent production values and a stellar soundtrack, the anime also boasts a meaningful, complex, and memorable combat system centered around alchemy, the supernatural act of rearranging matter at will. Alchemy can take many forms, some of them extreme and brutal in world-changing ways. The Philosopher’s Stone, for example, is the ultimate expression of equivalent exchange, but not in a way heroes like Edward Elric would like.The Philosopher’s Stoned may be a mere item rather than a character, an entity with no will of its own, but it still played an enormous role in shaping the history of the nation of Amestris and its people. Without the Stone, there would be no Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. But with it, characters like Edward Elric, Solf J. Kimblee, and Father can help change the world in good or horrific ways, exploring the darkest corners of humanity and what it is capable of.A Philosopher’s Stone is created not with elements like iron and calcium, but human souls, making the Stone’s creation process a highly unusual one in Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood’s story. When a certain transmutation circle is used, one or more people will be sacrificed, with or without their consent or even their knowledge, and turned into the Philosopher’s Stone. The more people are sacrificed to make the Stone, the more power it has—though all Stones have the same basic functions, regardless of how many souls are in each one. There is no known upper limit to how many human souls can be condensed to create a Philosopher’s Stone, and indeed, there might be no upper limit except the number of human beings in existence. For example, Father tricked Van Hohenheim into sacrificing over one million people at Xerxes to make a Stone that was split between Father and Hohenheim. The other extreme is Wrath’s own Stone, which has just one human soul in it. That said, typical Stones need at least a large handful of Souls to function, and most are made that way.
