New Alchemy

FUN TIMES! Talk about a mindjob. The new alchemy is quite a convoluted animal
when compared with the old version. Alchemy has been completely overhauled.
Now there's many many things that can be done when playing with your items of
ultimate death and dismemberment. Now not only can you put a big +9 modifier
next to your weapon, but now you can add magical attributes, and modify standard
attributes.

Also, the new ability "Astral" has been added. Details in the magic attribute
section.
