    What is alchemy? I heard that is like something between something like science, magic and art.

    "Alchemy (Arabic:al-kimia) (Hebrew:אלכימיה al-khimia) is both a philosophy and a practice with an aim of achieving ultimate wisdom as well as immortality, involving the improvement of the alchemist as well as the making of several substances described as possessing unusual properties. The practical aspect of alchemy generated the basics of modern inorganic chemistry, namely concerning procedures, equipment and the identification and use of many current substances."

    I wouldn't use it as a final authority. I find when it comes to legal matters it is often wrong. When it comes to meanings of words and generalized info, I find it to be accurate.
