Questionable Questing

Originally, I thought the commonality between Alchemy/Enchanting and the sixth magic would be Manipulation of Energy within Materials. Thus, Alchemy and Enchanting alter the flow of the magic within whatever to provoke an effect, and the opposite/counterpart would be Anti-Magic, REMOVING the magic from an object (or perhaps a spell at higher levels, giving a Counterspell option).

This would provide interesting ingredients for alchemy, because the magic will seep back in to the ingredients naturally, but may not be the same theme/flavoring/type of magic as was originally there.

This idea was strengthened by your response to Thriceboiled, meaning the accurate explanation would be "Anti- magic takes a Single magical component and separates it into parts".

However, you, or perhaps the group given how I went by word-of-god posts and backtracking, seem to be pushing the "conceptual" angle. Anti-magic would likely be an effect of the "Void" combination between Necromancy and the sixth magic.

Other sixth magic combinations are Summoning, Illusions, and Anti-Elements. So where Alchemy is mostly working with potions but having Enchanting as a sub-branch, and works by modifying materials to cause magic to flow in a certain way, the sixth magic would probably be altering the magic to cause a certain reaction in the substance?
