Kemiya (كيمياء; pronounced KE-mi-AH) is an Arabian form of witchcraft that allows a witch to physically destroy elemental foundation of an object in order to create another or to magically imbue said-creation with harmful, supernatural properties, thus creating a dark object. It was taught to the French Quarter Coven in 1914 by Kol Mikaelson.
It crosses the boundary between magic and science, utilizing aspects of both and on the chemistry and connection between witches. Thus, it is able to physically and magically alter the properties of object. In the in Arabic language, it is a translation of the terms "chemistry" and "alchemy".
