According to legend, the Philosopher's Stone is a mysterious MacGuffin, almost always a red rock in reference to the alchemy term "rubedo". It was created by either magic or alchemy. It allows the user to do any number of things, including: Transmute any metal into gold. Be able to live forever through an elixir of life. Ascend into Godhood. (Note that these uses are connected: gold can not rust, thus it is a substance that makes things immortal.) Other possible attributes include: Turning lead into gold. Healing all injuries and diseases. Creating eternally burning lamps. Transmuting common crystals into precious gems. Reviving dead plants. Making flexible glass. Creating Life, for example in the form of clones or Homunculi. And in settings where Alchemy Is Magic, Alchemy gives the person using it almost god-like powers. Unfortunately, like most MacGuffins it comes with some sort of catch, either involving Human Sacrifice, being Powered by a Forsaken Child, or something equally repugnant. Note that this cost is largely only in fiction: In most alchemical modes of thought, the Philosopher's Stone was a metaphor for the result of achieving a sort of Gnostic enlightenment, where your knowledge and self-control reach the height of or go beyond human potential, and you transcend the worries of the mortal world to join with God. The reason the Stone isn't common is because most people simply don't have the capacity or experience to reach this state, and those who do likely wouldn't have the desire to use the thing anyway, what with being what essentially amounts to a mental Physical God and all. An often overlooked fact is that in order to get it, you must not want to use its power. More specifically, in order to attain it, you must have reached a degree of spiritual enlightenment that renders you content with your lot in life and, as such, do not feel any need to make use of the Stone's more profane (i.e. non-spiritual, like the turning lead into gold bit) properties. It's less that you are unwilling to use it, and more that you don't feel the need to use it. It should also be noted that some sources claim that the immortality was a result of the process required to forge the stone, rather than being a property of the stone itself — by the time you're able to make the Philosopher's Stone, you no longer need it.

Aladdin: The Series: The Philosopher's Stone makes an appearance in one episode. In it, it's the source of all mystical power in the cosmos. The evil wizard Mozenrath creates one with the aid of the wizard trapped in a book, Khartoum, only for Khartoum to double cross him and use the stone to escape the book and become the most powerful wizard in the world. However, while the stone's power is limitless, due to it growing unchecked, it explodes. | |

It returns in Atelier Ryza: Ever Darkness & the Secret Hideout. Creating it is only an optional quest that allows you to learn an ability for a character, but it is a great item to use in synthesis and also good for farming gems, which have a number of uses. | |

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stonenote Renamed ...and the Sorcerer's Stone for the American market.: The Stone displays its traditional powers of turning lead to gold and creating the elixir of life. There is also a nod to its origins in that the Mirror of Erised is used to protect it by ensuring that only someone who wanted to find the stone but not use it is able to retrieve it. At the end, it's destroyed to prevent Voldemort using it, with Nicolas Flamel and Perenelle accepting death as "the next great adventure" after more than six centuries of life. | |

Guild Wars 2: Philosopher's Stones are not tied to alchemy or even any particular branch of magic; they are purchased using Spirit Shards to be used in the Mystic Forge for high-end non-discipline crafting, particularly notably to craft the Mystic Clovers used to create the coveted Legendary equipment. | |

As Above, So Below: The film's focal point. Having the stone is every alchemists' wet dream, and the alchemist protagonist Scarlett goes to great lengths to obtain it, even having to enter a creepy catacomb and Hell in the process. Though turning lead to gold is mentioned, the stone's main power ramps up Scarlett's mild psychic healing ability, allowing her to fully heal a mortally wounded person. | |

Karakuri Circus: The Soft Stone is used to created Aqua Vitae, "Water of Life", which is used in the creation of Shirogane.

Kamen Rider Wizard: Obtaining the Philosopher's Stone seems to be goal of Wiseman, the leader of the Phantoms. His dragon, Gremlin/Sora, seems to be also trying to obtain it for himself. Ultimately, it's revealed that the Stone in this case isn't a magic source, but rather a magic battery, essentially one of the jewels that are crafted into the show's magical rings writ large; in exchange for a truly enormous amount of mana, it can allegedly be used to do something like revive the dead (the reason both Wiseman and Haruto want it) or turn a Phantom back into a human (the reason Gremlin wants it). It spends the majority of the show inside one of the main characters before changing hands several times in the Grand Finale, with none of the characters who claim it actually getting anything they wanted from it. Ultimately, in the followup film, Haruto disposes of the Stone by leaving it inside himself via Journey to the Center of the Mind. | |

Lost Kingdoms: Rune Stones are quite similar in concept, affording the user amazing power. Like many above examples, they're created by infusing a normal gemstone with an entity's soul. The original Rune Stones contained the souls of the Creator Deities, but it turns out human souls also work (though not as well). | |

Jonny Quest: The Real Adventures: The Philosopher's Stone appeared in an episode. The villain greedily used the stone's power to make himself rich, and in consequence lost his soul. This prevented him from using it to make more gold. He got around that limitation by kidnapping Hadji and forcing him to make gold to keep his friends alive. | |

Darklands: The party holds a Philosopher's Stone, which an alchemist uses as a catalyst to make potions. The more pure the Stone, the greater your chance of making the potions. More advanced potions (or greater volumes of a less advanced potion) can be made with better stones, and improving the quality of your stone is a significant part of the game. | |

The Flash: The villain Doctor Alchemy has the Philosophers' Stone, and uses its powerful ability to transmute any element to commit crimes. Yup, he uses something that can turn anything to pure gold to rob banks. On the bright side, he hasn't collapsed the DC Universe's gold market. Funnily enough, someone rifling through the effects of Marvel's Chemistro did find his matter transmutation gun and realized he could use it to produce gold, but the villain's tech can only make the change for as long as the gun's wielder keeps willing it, making it useless for long-term changes. When he faces Ted Kord in the 80's Blue Beetle comic book, Doctor Alchemy tries to "become the Philosopher's Stone" and internalize it's power. However, when Doctor Alchemy succeeded, it put him on the verge of a Super-Power Meltdown which caused him to transmute anything and anyone uncontrollably. In the end, it was Be Careful What You Wish For as Ted (that age's Blue Beetle) saw the Doctor turn into a statue made from the same material of the Philosopher's Stone (so he Literally became the Stone). | |

Fullmetal Alchemist: The Philosopher's Stone seemingly has the power to violate the law of Equivalent Exchange in alchemy and allow the user to perform miraculous feats. It turns out that the law isn't actually broken, but the stone is composed of human souls which serve as a massive battery. It is even worse in Fullmetal Alchemist (2003), where thousands of souls are required to create a single stone. | |

They have come up with a number of ideas that they think are the secret to immortality (mostly the same ones peddled by All-Natural Snake Oil salesmen on Roundworld).

Sentinels of the Multiverse: In the backstory, the villain known as Biomancer attempted to create the Philosopher's Stone, but failed. He angrily discarded his failed prototype... whereupon it was found by an alchemist/scientist named John Rhodes, later known as the Scholar, who made a few modifications and turned it into a true Philosopher's Stone. The stone makes the Scholar The Ageless and allows him to perform amazing feats of transmutation. Unfortunately, the Scholar's life became linked to the Philosopher's Stone. When he used the last of its power to save Guise during the OblivAeon crisis, he ceased to exist, with everyone but Guise forgetting he ever was. | |

Castlevania: Lament of Innocence: There is brief mention of Alchemists' quest for the Philosopher's Stone leading them to create the Black Stone and Crimson Stone, both of which are less helpful to humans and extremely useful to vampires (one casts eternal night on the surrounding area, the other allows one to gain power from stealing the souls of others, but turns the user into a vampire). This is presumably intended to explain Dracula's mad h4x, as the game turns out to be a Dracula origin story. | |

Deptford Mice: In the prequel book The Alchymist's Cat, creating the philosopher's stone — and thus the elixir — is the main goal of the alchemist Elias Spittle. He succeeds (with the help of his familiar) but in this version the elixir doesn't give total immortality; you can still die in one of the elements involved in the stone's creation (fire and water). The elixir also augments whatever magical abilities the drinker possesses. When said familiar discovers that his master murdered and bottled his sister, he drinks it and they have a Wizard Duel. | |

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim: The "Transmute" spell basically turns the caster into a living Philosopher's Stone, at least regarding the ability to create gold. It's an extremely advanced spell which next to nobody in-universe has been able to master; but the player can learn it. It enables the Dragonborn to transmute iron orenote Lead doesn't exist in the world of TES into silver ore, and then silver ore into gold ore. As iron is plentiful throughout the game (silver and gold being far more rare), mastering the spell will ensure that the player has all the Money for Nothing they could ever want. | |

It's a high-end synthesizable item in each of the games in the Mysterious trilogy of the series - Atelier Sophie: The Alchemist of the Mysterious Book, Atelier Firis: The Alchemist and the Mysterious Journey and Atelier Lydie & Suelle: The Alchemists and the Mysterious Paintings. Rather than being more particularly useful than any of the other powerful end-game items, though, crafting it is really more just a mark of a powerful alchemist. As such, each game in the trilogy has a side-quest which requires the player to craft it. Lydie and Suelle even has a second sidequest in which you can create "Cute Philosopher's Stones" for Lydie and Suelle's alchemy teacher, Ilmeria. | |

Slayers features a version of the Philosopher's Stone, though one with not much in common with the original myth. This Philosopher's Stone had the property of amplifying magic a hundredfold. It ended up being swallowed by the Dark Lord Shabranigdu and presumably destroyed. There is no know way to produce a new one, as the Stone was a unique legendary artifact. Lina claims it was a piece chipped off the staff that supports the world; its true origin is revealed in the final light novel to be a piece broken off the black Demon Blood talisman. | |

Buso Renkin: In their attempts to make a Philosopher's Stone, the alchemists made the kakugane, which, while not granting immortality, do give a Healing Factor. The Black Kakugane gets even closer, in that it can be used as a transplant heart, at the cost of acting as a Psycho Serum. | |

Disney Ducks Comic Universe: In comic by Carl Barks titled The Fabulous Philosopher's Stone, Scrooge McDuck reads about the stone, and learns that it can turn any other metal into gold. This leads him and his nephews on a quest for the stone, and they succeed in recovering it from the Minotaur's Cave in Greece. But Scrooge is soon after visited by Monsieur Mattressface, a representative from the International Money Council. The Council fears that the stone's ability to turn everything to gold could lead to a vast devaluation of gold, causing a global economic collapse, and wish to have the stone for safekeeping. Scrooge ends up reluctantly giving up the stone. The Philosopher's Stone later returns in Don Rosa's The Old Castle's Other Secret or A Letter From Home, set in the same continuity as the one above. In it, a corrupt member of International Money Council (actually a cover organisation for the modern Knights Templar), Mister Molay, uses it on locks, as a lock of gold is easier to break than one of steel or iron. The stone is later used by Monsieur Mattressface to escape from a set of iron cuffs that Molay used to incapacitate him. The stone then ends up being used to render Mister Molay's gun useless, as a gun of solid gold tends to explode when fired. |

Dungeons & Dragons: In 3.5 the Philosopher's Stone is a minor artifact. It takes the form of a small bit of black rock which can be broken open to find a small bit of quicksilver. This quicksilver can be used to turn large amounts of iron into silver or lead into gold, and can also be mixed with a cure potion to bring someone back to life with none of the usual level drain being resurrected causes. Its Spiritual Successor, Pathfinder, has the alchemist base class at 20th level can choose the Philosopher's Stone from one of several "grand discoveries" they can make, allowing them to make one per month. In 5th edition a Transmutation specialist wizard can create a generic 'transmuter's stone' which stores transmutation magic in it. Three functions of the stone that a 14th level transmuter can perform are Panacea (remove all curses/poisons/diseases and heal all health), Restore Life (a 'raise dead' spell), and Restore Youth (reduce a willing creature's apparent age from 13-30 years). |

Res Arcana: The Philosopher's Stone is an expensive artifact that can convert any essence to gold on a 1-for-1 basis, which is the best rate in the game for this kind of effect. It's so powerful that the first Expansion Pack took several steps to Nerf strategies that revolve around it. | |

The Flash (2014): The midseason finale of Season 3 reveals that the whole plot hinges on a Philosopher's Stone, which, according to the research conducted by one of the heroes, has the power to create metahumans, not unlike the Particle Accelerator accident that started the whole series. Savitar, Season 3's Arc Villain, is essentially a prisoner that can't do anything as long as the Stone is encased in some stone box, although he can still cast illusions to have others do his bidding. Uniquely, the stone is glowing white (albedo), but is stated to be calcified Speed Force, which raises more questions than it answers about how it works at granting non-speed related powers and being a conduit somehow bonded to Savitar. | |

Deadlands: The Weird West: There's is a modification to the Mad Scientist template that allows you to make an Alchemist character— these characters create the Philosopher's Stone as an everyday ingredient in even the simplest of their magical potions. However, its implied that there are few Alchemists compared to their more mundane steampunk counterparts, so there remains a degree of "enlightenment" to the template. Further, the game invokes the "cost" aspect of the trope, in that each dose of Philosopher's Stone requires the Alchemist to sacrifice a bit of blood, doing damage proportional to the amount you're trying to create. The game also subverts the spiritual aspect of the stone: Philosopher's Stone is created from Ghost Rock and is hence indelibly linked to the Hunting Grounds and the Manitou evil spirits. Further, the "enlightenment" of an Alchemist takes the form of Batshit insanity, just like with normal mad scientists. | |

Warehouse 13: The Stone was created by Paracelsus in an attempt to make himself immortal. He tested it on his brother and his brother's family, making them immortal. However, the experiment resulted in several hundred dead villagers. When the Warehouse 9 agents found out, they bronze him and broke the stone into three parts, so they could be hidden far from one another. After being de-bronzed in the 21st century, Paracelsus recovers the stone, makes his brother and his family mortal again, and then makes himself immortal (by sucking the life out of terminal patients). Notably, a fragment of the stone became set in a ring and used by his brother to perform miraculous reconstitutions of dead flowers. | |

He succeeds, but Ichabod later uses the Stone to reverse the process. Interestingly, proximity to the Stone also causes the Horseman to lose his invulnerability. | |

Accidentally created by a young elven alchemist in the site's backstory, it turned out to have a very dangerous flaw: corrupting elemental dream energy and horribly mutating anything that came near it. One of the main plot threads of the site is the fact that it is now threatening to turn the whole world into Dream Land. | |

Tex Willer: In a special titled "Il Segno del Serpente" (The Serpent's Mark), the main villain is a shady criminal cooperating with a native tribe and a gang of ruthelss mexican bandits funding the reaserch of a tormented ex-monk who has found a massive tome of alchemy which he could use to make the Philosopher Stone to turn lead into gold and make elixir of immortality. Near the end of the story, the man finally manages to create a unknown substance which allows him to turn lead into pure gold, but as Tex and his comrades break into the villains' lair (killing the bad guys), the alchemist tries to escape with the book, only to be killed by the venomous snakes placed as a trap near the lair. Having been told of the Stone and seen the transmuted gold himself, Tex wisely opts for disposing of the book in a fire, so that noone can abuse it. | |

Atelier Series is all about using alchemy for Item Crafting, so it's not surprising that the Philosopher's Stone shows up in several games: In the Arland Trilogy, it's called the Ruby Prism in English, but is still called the Philosopher's Stone in the original Japanese. In Atelier Rorona, Rorona makes it without realizing that she's just acheived the goal of alchemy, flabbergasting Astrid... who then laughs when Rorona says that she intends to bake it into a pie. The resulting "Ruby Pie" is naturally inedible, and Rorona breaks a tooth trying to eat it. It's a high-end synthesizable item in each of the games in the Mysterious trilogy of the series - Atelier Sophie: The Alchemist of the Mysterious Book, Atelier Firis: The Alchemist and the Mysterious Journey and Atelier Lydie & Suelle: The Alchemists and the Mysterious Paintings. Rather than being more particularly useful than any of the other powerful end-game items, though, crafting it is really more just a mark of a powerful alchemist. As such, each game in the trilogy has a side-quest which requires the player to craft it. Lydie and Suelle even has a second sidequest in which you can create "Cute Philosopher's Stones" for Lydie and Suelle's alchemy teacher, Ilmeria. It returns in Atelier Ryza: Ever Darkness & the Secret Hideout. Creating it is only an optional quest that allows you to learn an ability for a character, but it is a great item to use in synthesis and also good for farming gems, which have a number of uses. |

Rifts: The Philosopher's Stone is a prison for an evil supernatural entity. Anyone who uses the Stone becomes slowly corrupted by it, turning more and more evil. It can turn any base metal into gold, but the current owner (a minor king in Poland) mostly uses it to make medieval-style armor strong enough to withstand Energy Weapons. It also grants a magic force field that, while it doesn't make the owner immortal, definitely makes it harder to kill him. | |
