I made a comment about electricity earlier. Alchemy, as far as I can think of, can't do the electricity and magnetism thing. It's a limit on energy and the fact that to make a bolt of electricity you would need to create a potential difference of 50,000 Volts per inch of air. This must be done WITHOUT the technology done to make it happen today (as transformer and much more complicated stuff). Also, an electric field and potential difference of such a magnitude is actually easier to create than a magnetic field of that caliber. Magnetic fields are far harder to create in a sense than electric.
I feel like Buzz Killington by saying this stuff.
Not completely right. There's an alchemist that uses electricity in the anime, but he uses wires to transmit it and a dynamo to generate it. Batteries are chemical devices, too, so they are completely within the realms of what one could do with alchemy.

Darnit, forgot Alchemy was on a more 1-use basis... hmmm back to the drawing boards
(edit- Maybe I'll go into magnetism to make electricity or something similar... Or I go into physics and manipulate physical forces... ehhh)
Just like I said above, most of the alchemy on the series is complete scientific bull. You could go an alchemist that creates electrical power from battery components that he carries around and use a conductor objects to pass on the charge. It would be very stream punkish, just like the setting's tech seems to be.
