This is my view on the Seal on Alchemy. It's still in progress, so come back whenever, because I'll be updating. (Please note that these are only speculations and not the real thing)

Intro
Before the events of Golden Sun, the power of Alchemy fueled Weyard and brought a "Golden Age". Then there were those who wished to use Alchemy's power for world conquest. One thing led to another, and a league of powerful Adepts constructed the four Elemental Lighthouses and split Alchemy into its four parts, and sealed them into the four Elemental Stars. The Stars were then placed into their chamber in the heart of Mt. Aleph, along with their respective Djinn, for whatever reason (this article will try to explain it). The Wise One was set as the guardian of the Sanctum, and no one ever heard from Alchemy again. Until Satorous and friends came along. The whole story line of how this happened is very vague, so I decided to write about the matter.

Alchemy and the world
Alchemy (along with everything else in Weyard) is made up of the four Elements (Earth, Fire, Wind, Water), which means that Alchemy is basically everything. Therefore, when Alchemy was sealed, the world itself was basically sealed, and it began to slowly decay.
