Alchemy
Alchemy is the science of understanding the structure of matter, breaking it down, then reconstructing it as something else, e.g. making gold from lead. However, alchemy is a science, so it must follow the natural laws; to create, something of equal value must be lost. This is the Principle of Equivalent Exchange. Gain requires sacrifice.

Alchemists are scientists who use transmutation circles.

Alchemists cannot ignore or disregard the laws or make things out of thin air. In chemistry, a reaction has to be balanced, and so does alchemy. It is an equation; the output has to be of equal mass to the materials one starts with, and the base elements have to be similar. It is a founding principle that, to obtain, something of equal value must be lost.

Trivia

 * In real life, alchemy is the medieval forerunner of chemistry, based on the supposed transformation of matter. It was concerned particularly with attempts to convert base metals into gold or to find a universal elixir. Alchemy is a seemingly magical process of transformation, creation, or combination. Abū Mūsā Jābir ibn Hayyān made a great contribution to the discredited field of alchemy.
