FMA: What alchemic power would you want to have?

That's a defensive alchemic power. Thats right, it is Greed's alchemic power. Its a good alchemic power if you are good at hand to hand combat. This should be paired with great fighting skills, it was hard for Edward to beat Greed the first time they fought each other. Edward broke his arm while he was fighting Greed. The next time they fought on the old lady's house, Edward managed to find a way to defeat by changing the chemical structure of Greed's body. Thats a cool technique! In that case, avoid fighting someone like Edward if you want that Alchemy.

Well, thats a good point. I think he's gotten weak but still he can fight. Ed managed to learn on how to beat greed by fighting with her resurrected. He found out that the composition of a humunculi and a human being is almost the same. Humunculi's body is more maleable compared to humans, he said that when he was fighting with Greed at Dante's house. In my perspective, he can still beat Greed eventhough he didnt lost the stones inside his body. This is just my opinion.

Well, the only reason Ed managed to beat Greed the second time was because Dante took away the red stones from Greed's body, thus weakening him in the process. Ed would still have a hard time beating Greed if it was under normal circumstances.

That's the power you get when you perform a human transmutation. You get to see the other side of the "gate" and so you see the real alchemy, and gain experience that helps you perform transmutations without the circle. That's why he and his teacher can use alchemy that way

Uhmmm.... Now I remember. Al and Edward's teacher tried to revive his son and unfortunately ended up creating a humunculi afterwards. Edward and his teacher both experienced to see the gate and learn lots of things there. As they were in the gate, it was feeding their minds with lots of information and that gave them the ability not to create transmutation circles. They can activate or use alchemy by just putting their hands together and just think of something they want to do.

Yes, like that famous saying that seems to be very true: If it doesn't kill you, it makes you stronger. Now apply that to everything in life.

Yes, that's our human nature. We always want something that's beyond our reach

That would be really cool, especially against a lot of enemies because you can attack them all at once. Thats a good idea. It would definitely create a lot of damage!

I think the power that you want to have is something similar to Yuyu Hakusho. One of the follower of Sensui have that power, remember the brother of Toguro? He was eaten by one of Sensui's men, he acquired his power. Maybe something like that is the power you really want...

Thats really kind of you. You also want to help others by using alchemy to heal people, thats really good and kindhearted. Like Doctor Marco, he used fake Philosopher's stone to heal diseases or sickness, the stone was effective inspite of being fake. He managed to study the stone and used it very well. It looks efficient and effective when he's using it, maybe because he dig deep about the theory of the Philosopher's stone. Research is really a good tool to effectively use you resources, its just sad that they captured Doctor Marco. Your idea is indeed good and will benefit lots of people.

Thats a scary power, it would be good if someone with a good heart will have that power but if someone evil learn to do or have that power, it would be a disaster! I would still rather want an alchemic power that can help other people and make their work easier.

Well, I guess you chose this alchemy because you want to challenge Roy Mustang in a fight, right? Roy Mustang's alchemic power is to create flame, thats why he was called Flame Alchemist. With just a snap of his finger he can create flame. Do you remember Roy's battle with the Edward, his flame is really powerful. It can destroy Edward's creation of Metal, like the Canon. If you want to alchemy of air or water, there's is a possiblity that you can beat Roy Mustang's flame because you are able to stop it or even completely stop him from using it. Thats really a good idea! You should also have a strategy for that because Roy is a good strategist, he might find something to overcome that. Thanks for sharing your idea.

I see you want the power to grow plants or maybe even trees. I like the idea of ultimate farming, which enables a person to grow plant of trees. Do you remember the fake Elric brothers? They have this alchemic power. Do you remember how they stopped the possible poisoning, how great disaster it would cause if the water used to create Philosopher's stone was leaked? They stopped it by using their alchemy to grow trees to drain these red water. You like free food thats why you want this alchemic power. This is kind of nice thing to do, lots of people wont be troubled on what will they eat, you can feed lots of people. Hunger wont be a problem because plants and trees are easy to grow. You're idea is also cool!

That's really a neat and nice alchemy. Edward will place some raw materials beside Al's armoured body and he will just put his hands together then touches Al, then Al's armoured body is repaired in an instant... Just like that. Edward can even repair other stuff that concerns metal, he fixed other things in the anime series Full Metal Achemist. Like when he and Al was investigating a case, Ed fixed several things in a certain restaurant but when they found out that he's an alchemist they threw him out.
