Episode 4 - A Forger's Love

  • Another alchemist who doesn't work for the state: Majhal
  • I should just read up on wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Fullmetal_Alchemist)
  • also fullmetalalchemist.info (http://www.fullmetalalchemist.info/alchemy.html)
  • Majhal has a wristband with an alchemic circle on it (which shines with red light): another person with a device like Roy's that lets him perform alchemy without a circle.
  • Majhal notes that souls have a tendency to reject vessels unlike them in terms of soul-binding. So successful soul-binding is unusual
