I disagree. I have studied alchemical theory at length and my understanding
is that, since (for example) gold and lead are both originally made of the
prima materia, they are the same thing (as Hermes puts it, lead is as gold)
and so we can do 'miracles of one thing' - miracles which stem from the fact
that there is only one thing. The one is as good as the other for any
purpose at all, we just see them as different.
