Atelier Iris: Eternal Mana

Background

Eternal Mana is the latest in a long-running series of alchemy-themed RPGs, beginning with Atelier Marie for the Sega Saturn. "Atelier" is in fact an English word -- it's a somewhat anachronistic term for an artisan's workshop. In this case, it refers to the laboratory where players cook up alchemical creations, in between questing abroad to explore new areas and acquire new ingredients.
