Huh. So you can willingly change the structure of the molecular levels...
Splitting the nuclei of an atom is rather catastrophic- although there are known smaller entities within the nuclei itself, harnessing all the power within that nucleus is rather impossible.
We've even used the power of the atom in bombs- they can blow up entire cities, and even the ones who survive that are pelted with the worst radiation.
It is possible, though, that the laws of physics differ in different worlds...there may be even a world where there is no gravity.
Hmmm...so that Philosopher's stone is like a substance that doesn't quite follow the rules of alchemy? I wonder what such a stone would be made of.
