Philosopher's Stone
Item from Fullmetal Alchemist by Hiromu Arakawa
A crimson stone forged from concentrated human souls that amplifies alchemical power beyond natural limits and bypasses the law of Equivalent Exchange — the most coveted and most horrific creation in alchemy.
Also known as: Philosopher's Stone, The Red Stone, The Fifth Element, The Grand Elixir

- Every Homunculus is powered by a Philosopher's Stone at their core, granting them regeneration until the souls are depleted
- Tim Marcoh created Stones using Ishvalan prisoners during the genocide — research that Edward later uncovered
