1: Also known as "the fifth element," is a symbolic name in Alchemy for the substance the four elements come from, and through purification and perfection can return to, but elevated. This substance is also known as Ether or Spirit. The Alchemists in their wisdom asserted that all creatures might be brought to one unified substance, into a perpetual and divine Quintessence.
