Plot Summary:
The rules of alchemy state that to gain something, one must lose
something of equal value. Alchemy is the process of taking apart and
reconstructing an object into a different entity, with the rules of
alchemy to govern this procedure. However, there exists an object that
can bring any alchemist above these rules, the object known as the
Philosopher's Stone. The young Edward Elric is a particularly talented
alchemist who through an accident years back lost his younger brother
Alphonse and one of his legs. Sacrificing one of his arms as well, he
used alchemy to bind his brother's soul to a suit of armor. This lead
to the beginning of their journey to restore their bodies, in search
for the legendary Philosopher's Stone.
