BRIEFING:
→ 电 流 diàn liú - Xingese (Chinese) - literally meaning flowing electricity, or electric current, this is the name Josef decided to give to his alchemy, after the philosophy that helped shape his unique alchemic ability.

The principle of diàn liú Alchemy is the energy of the body, in this case the electricity generated within Josef's body, and its flow and transition. The energy resonates at the source (the liver) and travels through the body in flowing balance like water. It can be drawn through the limbs or through the organs, but the balance must remain for a slight mistake could be lethal (ex. pulling a large concentration of this energy through the heart or brain.)

Spoiler:

The circle takes form of a very simple eastern design that represents the flow and balance of energy
→ The circles are located on the palms of his left and right hands, tattoed permanently

SPECIAL ABILITIES:
→ Using Alchemy/Alkahestry, Josef can direct the flow of 'energy' in his body by drawing it to a point, (where the circle exists) On top of being able to control the flow of energy within his body, through direct touch, the energy can flow into another person's body in a sudden surge, like a wave crashing into another body of water.

In a more scientific view, the surges of electricity drawn to a certain point in the body (The hands being the most versatile point of concenration), via alchemy are tranferred to a less concentrated area to balance out in a similar fashion to how water behaves. If alchemy prevents the excess electricity from flowing back to the rest of the user's body, its only option would to flow into the body of another individual, something that is possible if the user is touching someone, or even very close to someone. The effect of the surge of energy entering the other's body however, can be quite dangerous. Effects vary depending on the point of entry. If the POI is a limb or muscle mass, then paralysis is the most likely effect, and is likely to be preceded by intense pain due to the electricity stimulation of nerve ending. Other effect could include muscle spasms or convulsion, and a long term effect might even include near pernament paralysis or numbness depending on the amount of energy involved and the exact POI. Even more dangerous however, is the effect on organs it can cause. A strike to the lungs could cause respitory failure, and strike to the heart could invoke cardiac arrest. A flow of energy directed towards the brain however could bring about various complications from mild to lethal intensity. Effect may include intense nerve stimulation, absolute paralysis, memory loss, seizures, or even immediate death.

Though it is a deadly and effective form of alchemy, it is limited by its range and requirement for direct contact. Tranfer of energy through thin fabrics is still possible if they are not insulative, but it would prove useless if someone were wearing thick layers of clothing, or were covered in any insulative material.

Josef combines this alchemy with flow and strike type eastern martial arts to utilize the full potential of this alchemy by improving his own ability to aim and strike vital points with little force and liquid like flowing techniques.

Because of the nature, philosophies and overall form of alchemy used, this is considered a form of eastern alchemy, or Alkahestry
