[01:48] CUT: Of note is that demon-you likely has the 'originals' of all these weapons. (Tbh, I still dislike the idea that the Alchemiter can only copy.)
[01:49] ?GG: yeah that's p dumb
[01:49] CAT: Yeah, I think that's absurd as well.
[01:49] CUT: It really removes the joy of creation.
[01:49] CCP: its α αstupid ideα
[01:49] CCP: βrβ creαting truemiter thαt mακes the αctuαl versions of things ωe crαft
[01:50] CAT: As far as my power goes, I say my demonic essence invigorates the alchemical process, actually generating a new item.
[01:50] ?GG: ı blame tazz
[01:50] CPP: ! think it works
[01:50] CUT: I'm officially planning to reflavor that in Terraria, stating that the Alchemiter can intelligently create new things as well if the combination of items inputted has never been made before.
[01:50] CPP: That works as well
[01:50] CPP: ! personally think the 'just copying something' is the best, unless something messes with the alchemiter process
[01:50] CPP: The alchemiter really !S just pulling from a pre-generated set of codes
[01:50] CUT: Whether powered by Narrative or just by incredibly good AI, that is a thing.
[01:51] CPP: True
[01:51] CUT: The Alchemiter has grown beyond its incarnation in Homestuck.
[01:51] CAT: ^
[01:52] CTG: yeah
[01:52] CPP: Eh,
[01:52] CPP: This is an issue that's really minor enough that !'ll go with the popular voice
[01:52] CUT: During the Psi-War, massive amounts of power were thrown around. Is it too hard to imagine that the Alchemist leveraged some creation energy to give the Alchemiter the power of true creation and not just copying?
[01:53] CUT: For me, it sure as fuck is not.
[01:53] CCP: "psi-αlchemist"
[01:54] CUT: So, yeah. The Alchemiter can create new things. It is so.
[01:55] CUT: "official" canon
[01:55] CUT: I mean, it contradicts Tazz's thing, but that's stupid anyway.
[01:56] CUT: I was literally contemplating just making everything made with Erelye's ingredients with charges just to get around that idiotic thing.
[01:56] CAT: "As far as my power goes, I say my demonic essence invigorates the alchemical process, actually generating a new item."
[01:56] CUT: Still.
