The Dark Side of the Philosopher's Stone

The legendary Philosopher's Stone promised unlimited gold and riches beyond imagination. It also offered

the gift of eternal life through its magical Elixir. But why was it feared?

Its power was too great for humanity to handle. Infinite wealth could collapse kingdoms and

destroy economies in an instant. Worse yet, immortality meant tyrants could rule forever.

Wars without end. Humanity would be trapped in stagnation, robbed of the natural cycle of

renewal. Alchemists hid secrets in riddles, terrified of unleashing chaos on the

world. Even Nicolas Flamel chose to destroy the Stone rather than risk everything.

It was never just a miracle. It was a catastrophe waiting to happen.
