Natural philosophy is a precursor of [[chemistry]] and [[physics]]; natural history is the precursor of [[biology]] and [[geology]]. Natural philosophy significantly commits itself to the theory of four elements: [[air]], [[earth]], [[fire]] and [[wind]]. This commitment parallels and indeed mirrors that of the spellcasting traditions to the theory of the elemental planes. Nonetheless, natural philosophy does not take its lead from spellcasting tradition and in particular refrains from offering gods as causes. This may easily invite the charge of [[blasphemy]]. Indeed, natural philosophy may even attempt to integrate the gods into system, not so much privileging the natural over the supernatural as bracketing the very distinction. This may easily invite the charge of [[heresy]]. [[Alchemy]] is, in effect, an attempt keep a foot in both the camp of natural philosophy and the camp of a spellcasting tradition, an endeavor that is mostly untroublesome in [[Classical]], [[Dark Age]], [[Medieval]], and [[Chivilric]] age cultures.
