Juniper: “Daughter”, of all the . . . Look, Holly, you’re sure this will bring Thorn’s legs back?

Juniper: I trust your work, it’s just . . . What if there’s another bad reaction with that Sønheic magic? Like the fireball a few weeks ago.

Only if she was trying to turn lead to gold or make a potion of immortality.
Naw, alchemy is, in theory, any attempt to, by application of materials either internally or externally, alter or transform a subject is some fashion in a way derived from the properties or aspects related to the applied materials.
Not really, this isn’t a D&D campaign desperately trying to keep everything “medieval-ish”.
Alchemy isn’t just magical chemistry: its a religion that tries to find enlightenment TROUGH the understanding of properties of the world, to understand the mechanisms behind Creation and thus understand God.
Chemistry is a modern science that dropped that excess, religious baggage and “just” studies materials (and their composition and reactions, I’m not a dictionary).
To them, magic is science and science is magic.
