[quote]Dante was able to teach himself Flash Air, Transmutation, and basic Thought Acceleration.[/quote]

Okay so flash air is worthless and no one uses it because its worthless, like projection. It can only do cool useful stuff if your family specializes in it for centuries. Why specialize in something bad and make it good with time when you can specialize in something good and make it even better, etc. Transmutation is okay though you'd probably be better off with curses or black magic maybe because he seems like a black magic kinda guy but that's your choice. Thought Acceleration is something only the Atlas Alchemists have, and they do not share. They also hate western alchemy and are math nerds.
