Real-Life Roy Mustang: Flame Alchemy Explained
Here is a video of my first time performing flame alchemy. Instructions below.
STEPS:
1) To use alchemy (unless you happen to have one of those fancy state alchemist
watches) you're gonna need a transmutation circle. You can use any material to
draw the design on your hand (I used henna), as long as it's somewhat accurate.
I got lucky in the video (after many failed attempts) and it is advised that you
make it easy on yourself by getting someone that can actually draw (not Scott)
to do the design on either your hand or a glove if you'd prefer. I've even
provided a link below of the design so you don't have to search on Google.

2) Seeing how alchemy is all about equivalent exchange, you'll need proper
ingredients to make this work. Since your the snapping of your fingers are acting
as the flint for the flame, you'll still need to provide the rest. I recommend
getting a decent lighter, full of lighter fluid and make sure the wick is still in good
condition. You could also use a candle (or anything that holds a flame), but I found
lighters to respond the best. Please make sure you're using similar materials or else
this is NOT going to work.
3) Set up the lighter in front of you and make sure nothing is sitting inbetween
you or the lighter, or else it could disturb the reaction. Keep anything flammable
away from you while attempting this feat. Fire is dangerous, and, as you can see,
we were at risk with all that homework lying around on the table. We advise parental
supervision just in case something goes wrong. We are deinitely NOT professionals,
but you don't have to be one to perform basic alchemy.
4) With patience and proper following of the above directions, you should be able
to manipulate fire at your will! Over time, you can move to larger objects such as
creating campfires or sparking up your friends propane grill. Once again, pyrotechnics
are very dangerous and we are NOT responsible or liable for any damage caused by viewers
using this method because they didn't want to follow the procedure properly. Thank you.
