- What's the point of changing the weight of the cards in the first place? Does it make them stronger or gain new powers/skills? Does it make them able to evolve? Does it make them able to fuse better with their best match card?

Given the equipment and materials in the lab, it's likely there are other methods of performing alchemy. Houtarou just didn't think to look around because he's more focused on the Chemies as sentient creatures rather than experiments.

Changing the weight is likely about learning the basics of alchemy. Like how in math you do a bunch of equations and problems that seem pointless by themselves but help you learn the basics that you apply to real world problems
