In this series, alchemy becomes the science of transmuting matter into different matter through the use of transmutation circles. When the Elric brothers were young, their father, an alchemist left them. Years later, their mother trisha elric died of an illness and edward decided to attempt to revive their deceased mother. They study alchemy with a teacher and then use their father's notes to recreate a human transmutation circle. However, this attempt fails, costing Edward his left leg and Alphonse his entire body. In a desperate effort to save his brother, Edward sacrifices his right arm to "affix" his brother's soul to a suit of armor. After that, Edward's left leg and right arm are fitted with two sets of Automail, a type of advanced prosthetic limb. The brothers eventually learn of the Philosopher's Stone and set off in search of it as a means to restore their bodies.
