So, we learned some flame properties: white - anti-regen; blue - eternal(burns endlessly I presume); red - explosive.
Alchemy recipes have a physical component and a semantic component. The physical is the actual ingredients used as offerings/sacrifices, the semantic is a ritualistic phrase uttered, described as a wish. We already understand that wishes carry actual power.
In the old word, Objects were classified by level. One of them is 'Moon', a high level. Levels and classification requirements are yet unknown, but resilience against anti-grimoire(anti-object) weapons seems to be a requirement.
So, big lore time. Grey Reaper was originally a Guardian created by the blue haired alchemist girl. I'm not even going to ask the question if reaper has teeth, if golden reapers teeth are human, and what it means for black reaper to have shark-like teeth.
The master(blue girl) did foretell that "lead doll"(grey reaper) will return. The master also has knowledge of Korea. Some form of precognition seems likely, there's also the possibility of transmigration/reincarnation. However until we get more confirmation, I shall not speculate on this topic any further.
We now know the origin of reapers body, however several questions remain: How did MC get reborn as reaper(was it due to her wish?), how did they obtain the flame, how did they obtain the ability to see kill conditions("eye") and "loot" object abilities. What is the deal with the black reapers and their dead mom?
Why do I picture Reaper like an old granny who is exhausted after taking a few steps, while the mini-reapers are running laps around her? So weak!
Interesting lore bit: Alchemy made by white flower is more effective against objects. White flowers are said to mimic the sun, so sun seems to be effective against Objects. We also inferred earlier that the golden reapers are related to the sun, so do they also have inherent anti-object properties? A noteable detail is the immolating white flame created by this alchemy. We've seen white flames quite often, and this flame may be the same kind as one we've seen before.
There's also a mention of the "green flame that burns the devil", I wonder if this flame will become relevant later.
Grey Reaper really should have told us that they have a sister.
Guardian aka Hungry Ghost lore: created by alchemist to serve as protectors. They may be visually distinct due to their creators taste. A core is used in it's creation process. Should a guardian eat its core, it will grow human teeth and the alchmist will loose control over it.
The city appears to be an amalgamation of the memories of Reaper and the kingdom's capital city.
Also new golden reaper lore just dropped while I'm still reeling and trying to understand the old lore bits. At this point I'm sure I'll need to reread at least once. We got confirmation that the reapers are related to the moon (or rather their colored moon, considering they consistently appeared after the destruction of the related moon. Exceptions are red reaper/Rachel, the golden ones who appeared after destroying the golden heart made of golden horns, and the black ones who don't care about my feelings and theories). Now it seems like the golden reapers also have a corresponding celestial body, the sun. Does this mean the golden horns are also related to the sun? Also, the fact that the fire shot out like the white flame gives credibility to the theory that they were the same at some point.
Are you all hyped for Reaper vs ugly Reaper?

Oh no, there's something fishy going on at Korean Object Association. Take bets now:
A. general incompetence
B. infiltrated by objects (or created by objects)
C. traitors against humanity
D. mixture of greed/ambition without morals, ethics or human decency
E. multiple of above
F. something else
Also time for blue girl lore and having a nice casual stroll through a recreated memory and deal with it's creepy "tenants".
Find a city full of gold🤑
There are weird looking statues😐
Radio connection cuts off🙁
The statues have human teeth😬😨
The statues start laughing💀
