"A deeper level of information? You still need information?" Tai'er was somewhat astonished.
In his view, Alchemy was nothing short of a miracle, and any creature that could master such technology would find performing transformation surgeries as simple as pie.
"Of course I need information," Richard replied, puzzled. "You've studied transformations for so many years; the information you've accumulated must be more detailed than what I could gather on my own.
Transforming a body is precise work. If you don't pile on the materials, then all you can do is focus on the details. Otherwise, the transformation surgery would be nothing more than reckless endangerment of life."
Tai'er was stunned for a moment, then he quickly understood.
Alchemy was a technology, not some divinely gifted black-box ability. It was the crystallization of wisdom concluded from research by countless generations of Wizards.
Since it was a technology, naturally, information was needed as support.
