<p>I once read a few years back that the author got the idea of the philosopher stone being created by human sacrifice from a real life alchemical text. </p>

<p>If i recalled correctly the text is said to say that it require a sacrifice of a whole town or something along the line of that.</p>

<p>Anyone has any idea what the text/book is?</p>
