The Philosopher's Stone
 

The Philosopher's Stone is a concept from alchemy; it is a stone that can turn on all base metals into gold or silver, and also produces the Elixir of Life, a chemical that can be used to rejuvenate and immortalize a human being. It was the goal of most Western alchemists for over a century, until alchemy diminished, being replaced by the more scientifically grounded chemistry. However, it is still used in fiction, most famously in Harry Potter and the Sorceror's/Philosopher's Stone, and most recently in Kamen Rider Wizard.

*Spoilers ahead.*









Given what we have seen of the show at this point, Wiseman is in search of the Philosopher's Stone, and holding a Sabbat to make Phantoms seems to be a key point in its obtainment. Haruto's final form is also known as "Infinity Style." There is also a golden Kamen Rider set to appear in the Kamen Rider Wizard movie.

I might be horribly wrong, but perhaps Haruto is a part of the Philosopher's Stone. The Elixir of Life is supposed to grant eternal life. Haruto keeps Koyomi alive by giving her his mana. Perhaps Koyomi is merely a laboratory that uses mana to create the Elixir of Life.

The golden Rider is rumored to turn everyone on Earth into a Wizard, much like how the Philosopher's stone is said to turn all base metals into gold/silver. But how does this tie in with the Sabbat?

I hypothesize that the Sabbat is meant to create a part of the Philosopher's Stone, Phantoms being a by-product of the process. But what about Koyomi?

Another property attributed to the Philosopher's Stone is the ability to create a homonculus, a fully-functioning, miniature human being. While not quite miniature, Koyomi was found by the White Wizard after the Sabbat.

Now the question remains: how does the White Wizard tie in?

Sounds a lot like Fullmetal Alchemist to me. Philosopher's Stone, grand gathering of souls, magic circles, homunculus...

yep that's pretty much FMA there

If Wizard doesn't end with them fighting a horrific child/dog hybrid now, I will be very disappointed

If i don't see The Gate of Truth at the finale, i'll be flipping so many tables.

… I have no idea what any of you are talking about.

The Philosopher's Stone is a MASSIVE part of Fullmetal Alchemist's plot, and after seeing you piece everything together there it makes it looks like Wizard might be borrowing quite a bit from it.

Do you mean that I'm on to something? That my idea is plausible?

It means you could be yes, but in the process it's just highlighting how similar the story/plot is/might be to that of another show.

what if....... the white wizard is actually Edward Elric?
