A Spell Card of Patchouli Knowledge from the world shrouded in scarlet mist. She attacks with wood and fire dual-element magic. While forest fires can occur as man-made disasters, they can also occur naturally. It is believed that they can be sparked by lightning strikes or the friction of dry leaves and branches. Humankind probably first learned to harness fire by seeing one of these naturally-caused forest fires. Forest blazes are the flames of wisdom that inspire young life (Wood Phase) to flourish (Fire Phase).

A Spell Card of Patchouli Knowledge from the world shrouded in scarlet mist. She attacks with metal and water dual-element magic. Alchemy was studied in the West and the East to try and unlock the secret of transforming life into the perfect state. One of the substances that attracted the attention of alchemists was a red mercury sulfide called cinnabar. It has been known since long ago that mercury can be produced from cinnabar. Mercury was thought to be the ideal substance or a necessary material to obtain the ideal substance because it flows like water, has a metallic texture, and can react with various chemical substances. Consequently, it was used in many different spells and experiments. However, not everyone knew that the substance was toxic.

The Last Word of Patchouli Knowledge from the world shrouded in scarlet mist (a Touhou LW original). This attack creates a virtual manifestation of the Philosopher's Stone, the five-element ideal substance. While some believe that the Philosopher's Stone is cinnabar, others believe that the ultimate substance sought by Western alchemy and Chinese alchemy is a magical substance that elevates the imperfect reality of existence to an ideal. Idealization means transforming base metals into precious metals, inorganic matter into living matter, fools into sages, and mortals into immortals. The ideal for vampires like Remilia is to conquer sunlight, so perhaps the knowledgeable Patchouli believed that there was a substance that could be used to compensate for their weakness. Wasn't there an elixir that bestows true immortality somewhere?
