Lord of hell

Is this the same Alchemical Fire that every alchemist possessed?

Damien stared at the aged scroll in his hand, brows furrowed. The ancient script shimmered faintly in the dim treasury light, some letters faded with time, others still sharp as if inked yesterday.

He couldn't be sure.

Alchemy was a field he had dabbled in only briefly—far from his area of expertise. If this was the foundational flame used by all alchemists, then its value was immeasurable.

"I'll have to ask the Divine Researcher when I get the chance."

With that thought, he gently rolled the scroll back up and secured it carefully inside his inner coat pocket. Even if it was basic, knowledge was something you didn't leave lying around.

As he turned to explore deeper into the vault, something caught his eye—partially buried beneath a mound of gold coins and dull trinkets, a metallic box, sleek and ominous, with a grinning skull etched onto its lid.
