![]() The way to go against this worldly law is by using a stone. My theory is the people of Amestres mix alchemist symbols with magic (prayer) to produce energy using holy power.Īssuming the fma world acts mostly as ours we know something cannot be made from nothing i.e the conservation of mass. These seals can only be activated by people who know how to use them (at least in the show). The Soloman seals are said to have magical properties such bringing wealth or repelling demons (there are like 50 different seals). The seals in fma are based on the King Solomon seals of Kabbalah as we see the Sephirotic tree of life in the show. It's seems to be pretty much a compilation of different alchemic elements. The Seal of Solomon is all that is unified in perfect balance the Spirit Wheel. Conversely, the upwards triangle divided by the base line of the downwards triangle is the alchemical symbol for air. The downwards facing triangle is divided along the center by the base line of the opposite triangle. By combining the alchemical symbols for fire (upwards triangle) and water (downwards triangle), the alchemical symbols for earth and air are also created. The symbol is representative of the combination of opposites and transmutation. In alchemy, the combination of the fire and water symbols (up and down triangles) is known as the Seal of Solomon. The Seal of Solomon is another similar image. It was believed that this symbol plus a man and a woman in the circle was all that was needed to create a philosopher's stone.
