It. It can be, yes. But all magic is like that, depending on what you do with it of course. A person's actions are more noticed and attention gathering than what they know usually. [ Raising the dead for example and disrupting the balance between heaven and earth. ]

As for the philospher's stone, hm. It's a stone capable of transmutating base metals into gold or silver, and it has the ability to heal all forms of illness and prolong the life of any person who consumes a small part of it. Other people have said that it can create perpetually burning lamps, transmutation of common crystals into precious stones and diamonds, revive dead plants, create flexible or malleable glass, and lastly create a clone or golem. But most of that is speculation, however I do think enchantments of objects did derive from it. So perhaps it once was real. [ He shrugs on his end. ]

No one really knows though, at least not in my world.
