	Lovely alchemy. Can't believe this has had so few plays!

	@gluten and others above the fold: I've seen the word "zine" used extensively. But that's because I used to be part of a postal community. In the old days before the internet, people with common interests would form postal communities where they could share their writings, sort of like everyone does online now. The main links in these communities were little newsletter-like publications that certain members of the community would mail out to their subscriber lists. We called them zines. We used the word all the time. But, like so many other things, they have been rendered obsolete by the Internet.

	I remember play-by-mail "zines" in the olden days. Maybe its one of these words on the verge of obsolescence. But as long as we can ask for "morn" as a day's beginning (or by now probably as a Star Trek character as well), I think this works. Shouldn't it be "Nightingale" with an "i"?

	@zaphenath: As soon as they accept my suggestion to use ununpeptium as the next placeholder, you'll get your ladder.

	I love the inclusion of the other elements along the way. It makes me imagine someone trying to turn lead into gold, but first turning lead into zinc, and then into iron, and then it just seems to disappear into air somehow...

	nuts i forgot lead was an element, luckily I was able to work backwards and get most of it done :P
