the laws of alchemy are far less rigid than you might have been taught. at the fringe of our discipline lies a number of oddities, ranging from the simply curious disappearing-Quintessence, to the mystery of long-distance bonds, and even the trade secrets of the commonplace Glyph of Disposal.

today, i'd like to bring attention to a particularly curious formula, originally developed by Critelli himself, that exploits transmutation under Triplex. chances are, your professor told you that Triplex bonds are only stable between Fire atoms; the especially inventive of you may have even tried and failed to produce a universal Triplex bonding glyph yourself. it always fizzles out before it sticks, right? but in truth, the formation stage is the most volatile; once past that, both atoms may be transmuted freely without worry.

this formula exploits that fact to create a variety of colourful, sticky, volatile substances, all disguised as common Fragments. usually, the easily-detectable explosive is what gives away its oft-illicit presence, but that does little to hamper its pervasiveness on results day. my construction (pictured below) produces slightly too much explosive, leaving it but a dry dust instead.

EDIT: i've had a couple people send me letters along the lines of "we covered this at my course" - lucky you! please stop sending me letters.
EDIT 2: i know about Toscano's latest works. please stop sending me letters.
