Well, Full Metal Alchemy is total... um... Bull-Poop. Drawing a circle in the ground will not allow you to bend reality and shoot fire at your enemies. What alchemy really was in the Middle Ages was a basic understanding of Chemistry and chemicals... and things that go boom...

Take Chem 101 and you've got more knowledge of alchemy than most medieval scientists did.

What kind of line?

Between chemistry and alchemy.

Well... the real "split" would probably be placed between transmutation and... everything else. Though it's kind of hard to place.

Transmutation?

Turning iron into gold, carbon into nitrogen, etc...
