So, it would be "Alchemy: Soul, mind, matter, the Fallen World and the Supernal Realms." Corn thought about the review paper.


Maria was away on a business trip again which meant another large session for work for Corn. He just had to remember to not pick up the phone when she called, pretending to be socializing with friends. After all this time, Corn still found the situation mildly amusing. Supposedly, he would be spending his free hours fixing things around the house, do chores and then go out and meet friends. But with Maria outside the house, all those would be dealt with in minutes. What a banal double life is this that you pretend to not be home working...
Corn sipped his coffee and focused back on pulling up the various PDFs and info he had gathered about alchemy for the review paper.

7S out of 5S needed for the research, 2S out of 5S needed for writing it. At this point, Corn considers it a failure and would try to write it again from the beginning.
