I think that as it the series is Germanic, then something like Andvaranaut is more likely. So you agree with Alchemy. Maybe. Wouldn't mind learning some of those techniques myself. But hey... does Alchemy have the ability to control the world?

My money's still on Ali's Sword (Piece of Eden).

Legends and other things are prone to exaggeration, and in 12th and 13th Century Europe, the world was Europe and the Middle East with a relatively low level of technology so a working formula for an efficient fertilizer would allow more time for the army to invade other places and so control the world.
