Zodiac

The Alchemist is able to inform you on which Zodiac sign is of current. It is useful for certain Tower Transmutations that require a specific sign.

Such as:

Well, we're currently in [Sign Here]. You can figure it out yourself easily by looking up the night sky with a telescope. I recommend getting somewhere high up, away from all this light pollution.

Er, or you can look at a calendar, I suppose, but that's less interesting...

Anyway, the positions of the planets, the phases of the moon: these are all important for an Alchemist. Not only personality, but the transmutation of substances is controlled by the movement of the planets.

Ask me about it again sometime later once you've had a good look at the sky yourself.
