If we assume Mabinogi and Vindictus take place in the same universe, how do humans in vindiÂ´s world know alchemy? I thought humans learned it from fomors in the shadow realm. Have I missed something?

Also I think this is the most appropriate section for this, please move if thereÂ´s a more suitable one.

If I remember correctly, they were suppose to take place in the same universe, but Nexon scrapped that idea and said that they took places in parallel universes or something (Not entirely sure). Though, there was alchemy before they decided to change the setting, so... maybe alchemy was a lost art?

Source? I want to stick with it until I can be 100% sure :T_T: (and many of my theories will go to waste if they dont). And also if it was lost it would make it very likely that Mabi takes place centuries after Vindi (although thatÂ´s what most people think anyway, none of MabiÂ´s books mention Vindictus etc.)

I'm only saying it based on this post. There was no source there either, so not entirely sure.

Mabi alchemy is based on ancient Parthalonian magic isn't it?

For Shock, yes, but IÂ´m not sure about the others.
