Or simply a way to alter Homura's perception of time? Truth knows how BS she could be if she had that extra second to aim properly.
 
Time Alter would involve using transmutations to temporarily modify the human body (speed up the brain, muscles, reaction time, etc), which definitely carries a risk invoking Truth's wrath.
If modifying the human body was all it took, that fuckface Tucker would be able to clap his hands and transmute shit too.

True, but the limits of what is and isn't allowed are pretty poorly defined.

Regardless, Time Alter is the kind of thing that would take decades of research to get right, just because of how many components are involved and how many simultaneous transmutations would be necessary. We'd likely have far better luck independently reverse engineering Flame Alchemy.

True. Honestly, I really wanna know if that's a viable path for us (the Flame alchemy, that is). @The3rdCorinthian ?

No.

NOT because You can't get Roy to teach you Alchemy, and Not entirely because It's overpowered, But because Roy and Riza both never want there to be another Flame Alchemist ever again.

I can think of no IC reason for Roy to teach you.

And I assume there's no way for us to figure it out ourselves? I ask because the top three types of alchemy I can think of are flame alchemy, explosion alchemy, and the kinetic force alchemy I mentioned a bit ago.
I'm pretty sure Homu's mind isn't quite twisty enough to figure out how Red Lotus does his thing, but flame alchemy is more intuitive. At least if you have a decent grounding in explosives like I'd expect from Homura.

She can understand the chemistry, so I may allow you to use a bastardised variant, but you're not getting 'true' flame alchemy.
 
Well the trick is the cyclic reaction that keeps splitting water vapor after combustion releases it.

Essentially it dumps tectonic eneegy out.

The only really novel parts are:
- How he shapes the explosion
- How he transmutes gases
 
Mami's brother is great.

Interesting thing to note is that it seems we only need the initial contact to start a transmutation. As demonstrated in the clip where the stone only touches Alex's fist for a moment and changes mid flight.

So if we adapt a similar concept to our bullets i'm sure everyone can see the benefits.

When I said "independently reverse engineer", I meant without any assistance whatsoever from Roy or Riza.
 
Well, its generally trying to add soul to something without. Removing excess has never been a problem.
Huh. I wonder if a resurrection would be possible if it involved a human sacrifice, or if it'd just end up with the soul of whoever you sacrificed being placed in the new body you created.

I'm pretty sure a big part of the FMA story involved Ed realizing that Human transmutation doesn't bring back the specific person since when he checked the body of the thing he and Al made he found that it had black hair.

A resurrection IS possible. See Homuculi. The issue is you must do it before their soul leaves, which is to say it's only possible at all on the instant of their death.

You can go through the transmutation process again:
Step 1: Comperehension
-You know how their body works and approximate elemental composition. You can...while not recreate every detail of their body, get every detail that you know about down.
-You don't know how their soul works.
--If their soul is still in there? Cool, just fix it in position again(see affixing Al to the armor)
--If they are damaged to the point of soul loss? You could replace the lost soul if you already have souls on hand. Father, Hohenheim and the Homuculi all have an excess of souls to use for such repair work.
--If it's gone? You can only do it if you know how their soul works. Down to every detail.

It'd be like trying to transmute a painting into existence from the raw canvas and pigment, without knowing how it looked like. The information is lost.
