Every element you have discovered, branching from the four primal seeds.

A New Era Begins

The workshop has been reshaped. What was once a cluttered bench is now the Circle of Binding — slots, sigils, channels of fire.

Your previous saves were forged under the old laws and can no longer be carried forward. We're sorry — you'll need to begin your journey anew.

Your discoveries will return more meaningfully this time. The deepest miracles now require the broader circles, unlocked through rank.

About

The athanor is the alchemist's eternal furnace — the slow, patient flame from which the Great Work is born. Bind the four primal elements within the Circle of Binding, and watch the world write itself in burning gold.

How to play

Drag elements from the library into the empty slots of the Circle of Binding.
Fill every slot — the channels ignite, race around the crucible, and a new element rises with its true name burning across the board.
At higher ranks the crucible glows when ready — tap it to fire smaller brews without filling every slot.
Click any tile in your library to open its lineage — what made it, what it makes.
Open the Tree to see every discovery branching from the four primal seeds.
Discoveries stay in your library forever. Clear empties the slots; Reset wipes all progress.

Progression

Eight ranks, four alchemical circles. As you rise, the inscribed figure on the board changes and your circle widens — from the twin lens of the Vesica Piscis, to the trinity of the Triquetra, to the four-fold Squaring of the Circle, and finally to the five-pointed Pentacle. Bigger circles unlock deeper recipes that no pair-chain can reach.
