orchestrating explosions and is centered around the transmutation arrays
tattooed on his palms. On each hand is a triangle inscribed in a circle
with alchemical symbols in the center of each - the sun symbol
(signifying gold) on his right palm and the moon symbol (signifying
silver) on his left. When he puts his palms together the two triangles
(the left pointing up to represent fire and the right pointing down to
represent water) combine to form a hexagram which initiates the
transmutation. Transcribed around both circles is a ring of unidentified
text. >In the manga, Kimblee
uses this array to transmute ordinary matter into explosives by clapping
his hands together. By combining the contradictory symbols of the sun
and moon, gold and silver, water and fire, the Red Lotus Alchemist
creates an unstable imbalance of energy in whatever matter he touches,
causing it to explode violently. He has also revealed himself to be
capable of causing that instability to flow from one place to another at
his will, essentially directing localized explosions from long range.
By using only the hexagram of his transmutation circle and not the
celestial runes, he can also perform more mundane transmutations that
involve the alteration of matter, but not its detonation. >With the added amplification of the Philosopher's
Stone, Kimblee's alchemy reaches much further than usual; he is able to
bypass the Law of Equivalent Exchange and create far more powerful
explosions with it in his possession. Additionally, he does not seem to
require the use of both hands in order to transmute explosions while
using the Stone. [Citation Needed], but whatever.
